The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Metallurgy, Structural material, Composite material, Alloy and Microstructure. Metallurgy studies presented in International Journal of Metalcasting focus on topics such as Casting, Ultimate tensile strength, Aluminium, Eutectic system and Cast iron. While Casting is the focus of International Journal of Metalcasting, it also provided insights into the studies of Mechanical engineering and Sand casting.
Eutectic system study tackled is connected to the field of Silicon. The tackled Cast iron research is interrelated with Graphite which concerns subjects like Nucleation. Porosity, Casting (metalworking), Metallic materials, Mold and Foundry are some topics wherein Structural material research discussed in the journal have an impact.
Composite material studies presented include Scanning electron microscope, Composite number, Ceramic, Investment casting and Shell (structure). It holds forums on Alloy that merges themes from other disciplines such as Die casting, Phase (matter), Grain size and Corrosion. The journal concentrates on Microstructure topics that focus on Austenite, Grain boundary, Indentation hardness, Magnesium alloy and Equiaxed crystals.
The journal publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Metallurgy, Structural material, Casting, Alloy and Composite material. The most cited articles explore issues in Structural material which can be linked to other research areas like Mold, Foundry and Brittleness. While the journal articles focused on Alloy, they were also able to explore topics like Porosity, Aluminium, Casting (metalworking) and Corrosion.
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 International Journal of Metalcasting (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 International Journal of Metalcasting (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, 12.76% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.08% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.87% of all publications and 49.06% 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.
