Overview

Top Research Topics at Geologie En Mijnbouw?

Geologie En Mijnbouw primarily tackles Paleontology, Geomorphology, Geochemistry, Structural basin and Cretaceous. Topics like Pleistocene, Quaternary, Stratigraphy, Holocene and Sedimentary depositional environment are tackled as part of the discussions on Paleontology. It investigates Pleistocene research which frequently intersects with Glacial period.

The main emphasis of Geologie En Mijnbouw is the research on Glacial period, emphasizing the topic of Interglacial. In addition to Holocene research, Geologie En Mijnbouw aims to explore topics under Physical geography, Sea level and Radiocarbon dating. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Geomorphology and the similar topic of Sedimentary rock.

It centers on topics in Geochemistry, with a focus on Structural geology. The majority of Cretaceous studies presented zero in on Mosasaur.

  • Paleontology (36.36%)
  • Geomorphology (12.82%)
  • Geochemistry (11.07%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Cretaceous oceanic anoxic events: causes and consequences (1185 citations)
  • The eastern Mediterranean climate at times of sapropel formation: a review (228 citations)
  • The Holocene evolution of the barrier and the back-barrier basins of Belgium and the Netherlands as a function of late Weichselian morphology, relative sea-level rise and sediment supply (184 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Geologie En Mijnbouw:

The most cited publications focus on Paleontology, Structural basin, Cretaceous, Geomorphology and Pleistocene. Most of the works presented in the journal publications deal with Paleontology but they intersect with the subject of Sea level. Structural geology and Continental margin are some topics wherein Structural basin research discussed in the published papers has an impact.

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Holocene, Pleistocene, Paleontology, Sea level and Oceanography. Holocene research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Structural basin, Marine transgression, Radiocarbon dating, Salt marsh and Physical geography. The journal explores research in Structural basin alongside concepts in Geoarchaeology and other areas of study in Ice age, Climate change, Subboreal and Stone Age.

The featured Pleistocene studies mainly concentrate on Period (geology) but also cover areas of interest in Quaternary and Geologic record. Geologie En Mijnbouw explores topics in Paleontology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Taxonomy (biology), Saurichthys and Genus. While the journal focused on Sedimentary depositional environment, it was also able to explore topics like Aeolian processes, Fluvial, Mineralogy, Devonian and Principal component analysis.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Microfauna- and sedimentology-based facies analysis for palaeolandscape reconstruction in the back-barrier area of Norderney (NW Germany) (5 citations)
  • A new ΔR value for the southern North Sea and its application in coastal research (3 citations)
  • Holocene coastal landscape development in response to rising sea level in the Central Wadden Sea coastal region (2 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.

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 Geologie En Mijnbouw (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.

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, 52.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 37.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 12.50% 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.
