Overview

Top Research Topics at Inorganics (Basel)?

Inorganics (Basel) primarily focuses on research topics in Inorganic chemistry, Crystallography, Cluster (physics), Nanoparticle and Nanotechnology. It explores themes in Inorganic chemistry like Vanadium and Redox and links them with other fields of study like Raman spectroscopy and Glassy carbon. It facilitates discussions in Single crystal and Denticity as part of the larger field of Crystallography, however, it also tackles fields such as Luminescence, Phosphine oxide and Quantum yield.

The research on Single crystal featured in it combines topics in other fields like Square pyramidal molecular geometry, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry. Studies on Nanoparticle discussed in it link to the field of Tube furnace. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Nanotechnology, it also covered topics in Crystallinity and Continuous production.

Hydrogen bond research featured in Inorganics (Basel) incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Bromide and Crystal structure. Inorganics (Basel) explores topics in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Tetra and Hydroxide. Inorganics (Basel) focused on works that combine foundational knowledge of Plasma with components of disciplines like Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, Scanning electron microscope, Exfoliation joint, High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Nanoscopic scale.

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 Inorganics (Basel) (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Kenji Nomiya (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Satoshi Matsunaga (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Evgenia Spodine (1 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Tobias Möhle (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Adam Mazurkiewicz (1 papers) absent at the last edition.

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

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 2017 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
