Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Analytical Chemistry?

International Journal of Analytical Chemistry focuses largely on the fields of Chromatography, Detection limit, Mass spectrometry, High-performance liquid chromatography and Extraction (chemistry). The presentations discussing Chromatography offer insights in topics such as Analyte, Formic acid, Calibration curve, Electrospray ionization and Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. The studies in Detection limit featured incorporate elements of Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, Aqueous solution, Bioinformatics and Nuclear chemistry.

The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Mass spectrometry, apply to Gas chromatography as well. Solid phase extraction is a focus of the Extraction (chemistry) works in the journal.

  • Chromatography (47.49%)
  • Detection limit (23.94%)
  • Mass spectrometry (13.32%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Analytical Chemistry:

The journal papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Chromatography, Extraction (chemistry), Food science, Detection limit and Traditional medicine. The most cited publications facilitate discussions in Derivatization as part of the larger field of Chromatography, however, they also tackle fields such as NQS. In addition to Extraction (chemistry) research, the published papers aim to explore topics under Soil classification, Repeatability, Soil contamination and Analyte.

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

  • Organic chemistry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Chromatography, High-performance liquid chromatography, Detection limit, Traditional medicine and Mass spectrometry. The Chromatography study featured in International Journal of Analytical Chemistry draws parallels with the field of Pharmacokinetics. In the journal, Quality by Design, Methanol and Reproducibility are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in High-performance liquid chromatography research.

The research on Detection limit tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Neostigmine, Resolution (mass spectrometry) and Sorbent. Topics in Mass spectrometry were tackled in line with various other fields like Fluorescence immunoassay, Time resolved fluorescence immunoassay and Immunochromatographic Assays.

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, 19.15% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.68% of all publications and 55.26% 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.
