Overview

Top Research Topics at Heterocyclic Communications?

Heterocyclic Communications is mainly concerned with subjects like Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Combinatorial chemistry, Stereochemistry and Catalysis. The majority of Organic chemistry studies are focused on the issues of One-pot synthesis. The study on Medicinal chemistry presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Aryl.

The journal focused on Combinatorial chemistry research but expanded to cover Antimicrobial.

  • Organic chemistry (36.85%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (21.44%)
  • Combinatorial chemistry (17.96%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Heterocyclic Communications:

The journal papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Organic chemistry, Combinatorial chemistry, Stereochemistry, Medicinal chemistry and Antimicrobial. The published papers connects the study in Combinatorial chemistry with the closely related areas of Benzothiazole. In addition to Medicinal chemistry research, the published papers aim to explore topics under Aryl, Acetonitrile and Microwave irradiation.

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Aldehyde

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The concepts of Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Thiazole, Benzothiazole and One-pot synthesis are tackled in the journal. Topics in Organic chemistry explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Anodic oxidation and Surface modification. Heterocyclic Communications focuses on Catalysis but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Benzoxazinones, Nanoparticle, Coupling (electronics) and Ball mill.

The journal holds forums on Thiazole that merges themes from other disciplines such as Imidazole, Medicinal chemistry, Diabetic cataract, Sulfonamide (medicine) and Aldose reductase. The journal addresses concerns in Benzothiazole which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Ion, Photochemistry, Diphenyl diselenide and Coupling reaction. One-pot synthesis research presented in Heterocyclic Communications encompasses a variety of subjects, including Solvent free, One pot reaction, Benzofuran, Sulfonic acid and Benzoquinone.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Islamic Azad University (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Penn State Brandywine (6 papers) absent at the last edition.

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, 30.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% 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 71.43% 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.
