Overview

Top Research Topics at Geologos?

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Geochemistry, Paleontology, Geomorphology, Sedimentary depositional environment and Hydrology. In it, Mining engineering, Mineralogy, Petrology, Facies and Neogene are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Geochemistry research. Research on Paleontology presented in the journal focuses, in particular, on Structural basin, Pleistocene, Sedimentary rock, Sedimentology and Biostratigraphy.

Most of the Geomorphology studies addressed also intersect with Quaternary. The journal is focused mainly on Hydrology, particularly Groundwater.

  • Geochemistry (26.74%)
  • Paleontology (25.69%)
  • Geomorphology (23.61%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Niger Delta (103 citations)
  • Alternative interpretations of grain-size data from Quaternary deposits (57 citations)
  • Luminescence dating of sediments using individual mineral grains (37 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Geologos:

The journal papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geomorphology, Sedimentary rock and Quaternary. While the most cited publications focused on Geochemistry, they were also able to explore topics like Mining engineering, Fluid inclusions and Continental collision. Aside from discussions in Quaternary, the most cited articles also deal with the subject of Mineralogy which intersects with Sedimentary depositional environment disciplines.

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geotourism, Structural basin and Geoheritage are the subjects of interest in Geologos. The studies in Sedimentology and Glacial period under the umbrella field of Paleontology overlap with concepts in Thrust and Field (physics). Geochemistry research presented in Geologos encompasses a variety of subjects, including Sedimentary depositional environment and Permian.

In addition to Geotourism, the journal tackled discussion on research areas like Publishing, Environmental planning and Power (social and political). It focuses on Structural basin but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Tectonics and Slumping. Issues in Geoheritage were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Resource (biology) and Cave, Cave-in.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The power of colour in geoheritage studies and marketing: some tentative reflections (2 citations)
  • Assessment of river water infiltration conditions based on both chloride mass-balance and hydrogeological setting: the Krajkowo riverbank filtration site (Poland) (1 citations)
  • Lacustrine deltas and subaqueous fans: almost the same, but different - a review (1 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 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, 6.25% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 66.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.00% 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 13.33% 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.
