Optoelectronics, Silicon, Photovoltaic system, Solar cell and Passivation are the subjects of interest in IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics. The Optoelectronics study featured in IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics draws parallels with the field of Optics. The Silicon works featured in IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics incorporate elements from Wafer, Annealing (metallurgy) and Analytical chemistry.
It addresses concerns in Analytical chemistry which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Thin film and Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells. The research on Photovoltaic system tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Power (physics), Control theory, Irradiance, Maximum power point tracking and Voltage. Topics in Solar cell were tackled in line with various other fields like Heterojunction, Gallium arsenide and Quantum efficiency.
The study on Passivation presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Silicon nitride. Monocrystalline silicon study tackled is connected to the field of Nanocrystalline silicon. The work tackled in IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics goes beyond the discipline of Polymer solar cell as it also encompasses Organic solar cell.
The journal publications focus largely on the fields of Optoelectronics, Photovoltaic system, Silicon, Solar cell and Polymer solar cell. The study on Optoelectronics presented in the published articles is investigated in conjunction with research in Optics. In addition to Silicon research, the most cited publications aim to explore topics under Wafer, Amorphous silicon, Passivation and Common emitter.
The concepts of Optoelectronics, Photovoltaic system, Silicon, Solar cell and Doping are tackled in the journal. The concepts on Optoelectronics presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Layer (electronics), Indium tin oxide and Amorphous silicon. Annealing (metallurgy), Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) and Analytical chemistry are some topics wherein Layer (electronics) research discussed in the journal have an impact.
IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics explores issues in Photovoltaic system which can be linked to other research areas like Power (physics), Electricity generation, Control theory, Irradiance and Temperature measurement. While work presented in IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics provided substantial information on Silicon, it also covered topics in Etching (microfabrication), Wafer, Passivation and Common emitter. The presented research on Solar cell deals specifically with Oxide but it also addresses topics in Chemical engineering.
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 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics (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 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics (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, 20.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.77% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.74% of all publications and 46.15% 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.
