Geotechnical and Geological Engineering is organized to address concerns in the fields of Geotechnical engineering, Hydrogeology, Structural engineering, Soil water and Mining engineering. While it focused on Geotechnical engineering, it was also able to explore topics like Compressive strength and Stress (mechanics). Compressive strength research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Composite material.
In addition to Hydrogeology research, the journal aims to explore topics under Rock mass classification, Finite element method, Coal mining, Computer simulation and Excavation. The journal explores studies in Coal mining as part of the wider topic of Coal. Structural engineering studies presented include Foundation (engineering) and Stiffness.
In the journal, researchers investigate the Soil water study as part of research in the field of Soil science. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Water content, apply to Compaction as well.
The most cited articles mainly tackle studies in Geotechnical engineering, Hydrogeology, Soil water, Structural engineering and Compressive strength. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Geotechnical engineering, it also covers topics in Stress (mechanics), Direct shear test and Soil mechanics. The published papers with studies in Hydrogeology featured incorporate elements of Mining engineering, Permeability (earth sciences), Rock mass classification, Finite element method and Mechanics.
The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Hydrogeology, Geotechnical engineering, Mining engineering, Stress (mechanics) and Rock mass classification. Geotechnical and Geological Engineering holds forums on Hydrogeology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Roof, Stability (probability), Computer simulation, Deformation (meteorology) and Excavation. Research in Soil water and the interrelating topic of Water content were among the subjects of interest in the Geotechnical engineering studies discussed in the journal.
The work on Mining engineering tackled in it brings together disciplines like Rock burst, Coal mining and Fracture (geology). Geotechnical and Geological Engineering facilitates discussions on Stress (mechanics) that incorporate concepts from other fields like Mechanics and Structural engineering. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Rock mass classification but it intersects with the subject of Joint (geology).
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 Geotechnical and Geological Engineering (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 Geotechnical and Geological Engineering (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, 5.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.31% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.91% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.44% of all publications and 52.34% 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.
