Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology?

International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology mainly tackles studies in Petroleum engineering, Coal, Waste management, Permeability (earth sciences) and Coal mining. It holds forums on Petroleum engineering that merges themes from other disciplines such as Flow (psychology) and Drilling. Topics in Coal explored in International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology were investigated in conjunction with research in Mineralogy and Methane.

While the journal focused on Waste management, it was also able to explore topics like Biodiesel and Combustion. The Biodiesel study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Pulp and paper industry. The research on Permeability (earth sciences) featured in it combines topics in other fields like Porosity and Porous medium.

Research on Coal mining addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Mining engineering. Diesel fuel and Diesel engine are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal.

  • Petroleum engineering (22.81%)
  • Coal (19.40%)
  • Waste management (11.61%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology:

The journal papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Petroleum engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Permeability (earth sciences), Coal and Waste management. The studies on Petroleum engineering discussed at the most cited papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Oil shale, Diamondoid, Natural gas, Fossil fuel and Petroleum. While work presented in the published articles provide substantial information on Permeability (earth sciences), it also covers topics in Chemical engineering, Mineralogy, Porous medium and Mercury injection capillary pressure.

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Carbon dioxide

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal investigates studies in Petroleum engineering, Coal, Production (economics), Fracture (geology) and Analytical chemistry. In the journal, Tight oil and Permeability (earth sciences) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Petroleum engineering research. Coal mining is a focus of the Coal works in the journal.

The work on Production (economics) addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Productivity. The journal features studies on Analytical chemistry, including topics such as Mass spectrometry.

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, 43.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.15% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.44% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.76% of all publications and 53.66% 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.
