Overview

Top Research Topics at Geologica Carpathica?

Geologica Carpathica was organized to reinforce research efforts on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Cretaceous, Structural basin and Biostratigraphy. It focused on Paleontology research but expanded to cover Foraminifera. The work on Geochemistry tackled in Geologica Carpathica brings together disciplines like Petrology and Geomorphology.

The in-depth study on Biostratigraphy also explores topics in the intersecting field of Paleoecology. The Tectonics research presented falls under the domain of Seismology.

  • Paleontology (50.44%)
  • Geochemistry (37.52%)
  • Cretaceous (11.87%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Badenian evolution of the Central Paratethys Sea: paleogeography, climate and eustatic sea level changes (137 citations)
  • Geochronology of Neogene magmatism in the Carpathian arc and intra-Carpathian area (135 citations)
  • Alpine uplift history of the central western Carpathians: geochronological, paleomagnetic, sedimentary and structural data (106 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Geologica Carpathica:

The journal articles cover a variety of subjects, including Paleontology, Geochemistry, Structural basin, Cretaceous and Geomorphology. The works on Geochemistry tackled in the journal articles bring together disciplines like Neogene and Petrology. The studies on Geomorphology discussed at the most cited publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Quaternary and Fluid inclusions.

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Geochemistry, Paleontology, Interpretation (philosophy), Xenolith and Granulite are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Issues in Geochemistry were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Structural basin, Subduction and Infrared spectroscopy. The Paleontology study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Cave.

Studies in Interpretation (philosophy) were the highlight in it but it also discussed other topics like Cretaceous, Magmatism, Sedimentary depositional environment, Margin (machine learning) and Pannonian basin. While work presented in Geologica Carpathica provided substantial information on Xenolith, it also covered topics in Anatexis, Mafic, Pluton and Paleozoic. The Granulite works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Chlorite, Partial melting, Crust, Melt inclusions and Saprolite.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Numerical age dating of cave sediments to quantify vertical movement at the Alpine-Carpathian transition in the Plio- and Pleistocene (4 citations)
  • A Lower Miocene pyroclastic-fall deposit from the Bükk Foreland Volcanic Area, Northern Hungary: Clues for an eastward-located source (1 citations)
  • The 40Ar–39Ar dating and geochemistry of the Carpathian C1 obsidians (Zemplín, Slovakia) (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
