Overview

Top Research Topics at Geochronometria?

The scientific interests tackled in Geochronometria are Archaeology, Mineralogy, Radiocarbon dating, Geochemistry and Thermoluminescence dating. It centers on topics in Archaeology, with a focus on Chronology. The tackled Chronology research is interrelated with Dendrochronology which concerns subjects like Climatology.

In addition to Mineralogy research, Geochronometria aims to explore topics under Luminescence, Thermoluminescence, Analytical chemistry, Equivalent dose and Quartz. In the journal, Sedimentary rock and Sediment are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Quartz research. Topics in Radiocarbon dating explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Hydrology, Peat and Holocene.

It focused on Holocene research but expanded to cover Physical geography. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Geochemistry, it also covered topics in Geomorphology and Loess. Fluvial is the primary subject of Geomorphology works presented in the journal.

  • Archaeology (20.76%)
  • Mineralogy (20.19%)
  • Radiocarbon dating (19.81%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Geochronometria:

Mineralogy, Quartz, Radiocarbon dating, Luminescence and Optically stimulated luminescence are the main subjects of interest in the most cited articles. The journal papers are focused mainly on Mineralogy, particularly Thermoluminescence dating. The works on Radiocarbon dating tackled in the journal papers bring together disciplines like Mire, Peat, Physical geography and Holocene.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Statistics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main points discussed in the journal deals with Geochemistry, Thermoluminescence dating, Analytical chemistry, Archaeology and K feldspar. The Geochemistry works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Luminescence, Structural basin, Fluvial and China. The overlapping concepts between Loess and Quartz are the key highlights of Luminescence study.

The studies on Quartz discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Electron paramagnetic resonance, Provenance and Mineralogy. The concepts on Thermoluminescence dating presented in Geochronometria can also apply to other research fields, including Lacustrine deposits, Pleistocene and Qinghai tibetan plateau. Optically stimulated luminescence and Thermoluminescence research are fields of study within Analytical chemistry but they also intertwine with concepts in Component (thermodynamics).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Luminescence Dating Procedures at the Gliwice Luminescence Dating Laboratory (2 citations)
  • Residual dose of K-feldspar post-IR IRSL of beach-shoreface sands at Kujukuri, eastern Japan (2 citations)
  • Increase in C dating accuracy of prehistoric skeletal remains by optimised bone sampling: Chronometric studies on eneolithic burials from Mikulin 9 (Poland) and Urziceni-Vada Ret (Romania) (2 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.91% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.18% of all publications and 22.73% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
