Overview

Top Research Topics at IUCrData?

The primary areas of discussion in IUCrData are Crystal structure, Hydrogen bond, Crystallography, Ring (chemistry) and Stereochemistry. Crystal structure research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Dihedral angle, Benzene, Medicinal chemistry, Stacking and Crystal. The research on Dihedral angle tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Pyrazole and Aromaticity.

The concepts on Medicinal chemistry presented in IUCrData can also apply to other research fields, including Solvent, Nitrile, Ligand, Coordination geometry and Amine gas treating. Aside from research in Crystal, the journal also discusses Zigzag studies. The journal addresses concerns in Hydrogen bond which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Salt (chemistry), Pyridine, Tetra and Nitro.

Some problems in Crystallography that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Ion and Group (periodic table). The Ring (chemistry) works featured in IUCrData incorporate elements from Substituent, Thio-, Cyclohexane conformation and Moiety. The studies on Stereochemistry discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Triazole and Molecule.

  • Crystal structure (97.58%)
  • Hydrogen bond (69.02%)
  • Crystallography (51.95%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • (E)-3-(2,3-Dichlorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (11 citations)
  • 1,6-Diacetyl-2-isopropyl-4,7-di­methyl­naphthalene (11 citations)
  • 1-Benzyl-3-methyl­quinoxalin-2(1H)-one (11 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at IUCrData:

The most cited articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Hydrogen bond, Crystal structure, Stereochemistry, Crystallography and Dihedral angle. The journal publications focus on Hydrogen bond but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Benzene, Medicinal chemistry, Ring (chemistry), Crystal and Double bond. The most cited articles tackle research in Planarity testing as part of the general discipline of Crystallography, however, they also discuss concepts in Absolute deviation.

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 IUCrData (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Joel T. Mague (153 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • El Mokhtar Essassi (90 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mehmet Akkurt (61 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Shaaban K. Mohamed (51 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • S. Naveen (45 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

The top affiliations publishing in IUCrData (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Mohammed V University (117 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Mysore (77 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Erciyes University (62 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • SIDI (56 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 14.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.24% of all publications and 50.00% 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.
