Paleontology, Geomorphology, Geochemistry, Oceanography and Structural basin are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. Geological Society, London, Memoirs investigates Paleontology research which frequently intersects with North sea. While North sea is the key highlight in Geological Society, London, Memoirs, it also covered some subjects on Graben and Kimmeridge Clay.
Geological Society, London, Memoirs addresses concerns in Geomorphology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Continental shelf, Seafloor spreading and Bathymetry. Geological Society, London, Memoirs explores topics in Continental shelf which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Quaternary and Continental margin. The Geochemistry study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Terrane.
Permian, Sedimentary depositional environment and Rift are Structural basin topics of special interest in it. Geological Society, London, Memoirs focuses on Paleozoic but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Baltica which is concerned with Laurentia. Trough (geology) and Diamictite are some topics wherein Glacial period research discussed in it have an impact.
The journal papers mostly deal with topics like Paleontology, Paleozoic, Volcano, Seismology and Tectonics. In the Paleontology research discussed in the journal papers, Devonian, Gondwana, Ordovician, Terrane and Laurentia are all tackled. The journal papers with studies in Paleozoic featured incorporate elements of Permian, Baltica, Orogeny and Arctic.
The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Paleontology, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock, Rift and Volcano. The journal tackles issues in Paleontology, particularly in the topics of Cretaceous, Permian, Cenozoic, Carboniferous and Continental margin. The concepts on Geochemistry presented in Geological Society, London, Memoirs can also apply to other research fields, including Volcanic arc, Passive margin and Lithosphere.
The studies on Sedimentary rock discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Structural basin, Basement (geology), Source rock, Paleozoic and Devonian. Topics in Paleozoic were tackled in line with various other fields like Tectonics and Facies. The studies in Volcano featured incorporate elements of Antarctic ice sheet, Volcanism and Earth science.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Geological Society, London, Memoirs (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Geological Society, London, Memoirs (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 7.53% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 25.58% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 34.88% of all publications and 27.91% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
