The journal explores disciplines such as Crystallography, Diffraction, Crystal structure, Crystal and Optics. The Crystallography works featured in IUCrJ incorporate elements from X-ray crystallography and Molecule, Hydrogen bond. The journal connects the study in Hydrogen bond with the closely related area of Intermolecular force.
Diffraction research presented in IUCrJ encompasses a variety of subjects, including Scattering, Laser, Femtosecond, Synchrotron and Synchrotron radiation. Small-angle X-ray scattering is a major topic of Scattering research presented in IUCrJ. Discussions in IUCrJ are anchored in the subject of Crystal structure and the similar topic of Crystallization.
Crystal research is concerned with Protein crystallization in particular. Optics works presented in IUCrJ have a specific focus on Detector. Research in Crystal engineering tackled falls within the umbrella of Supramolecular chemistry.
The most cited papers primarily tackle Crystallography, Nanotechnology, Diffraction, Resolution (electron density) and Laser. While work presented in the journal papers provide substantial information on Crystallography, it also covers topics in X-ray crystallography and Intermolecular force. The published articles deal with Diffraction in conjunction with Scattering and similar fields in Computational physics and Electron density.
IUCrJ is mainly concerned with subjects like Crystallography, Diffraction, Crystal structure, Molecule and Crystal. While Crystallography is the focus of IUCrJ, it also provided insights into the studies of Femtosecond, Intermolecular force, Catalysis, Hydrogen bond and Electron diffraction. Topics in Diffraction explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Molecular physics, Scattering and Synchrotron.
The research on Synchrotron tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Resolution (electron density) and Laser. While the journal focused on Crystal structure, it was also able to explore topics like Work (thermodynamics) and Molecular dynamics. In addition to Molecule research, the journal aims to explore topics under Chemical physics and Nucleation.
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 IUCrJ (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 IUCrJ (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, 6.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.51% of all publications and 41.84% 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.

(2020)Exploring chemistry in the USA opens doors to a variety of related healthcare and science fields that can be pursued through online degrees. For those interested in quick entry into supportive medical roles, an accelerated MA program offers a fast-track approach to becoming a Medical Assistant, usually within a few weeks.
Similarly, nursing aspirants can consider a fast track medical LPN program, allowing students to gain practical nursing credentials online in a shorter time frame than traditional routes. These nursing credentials complement a background in chemistry, especially in clinical settings.
For those drawn to administrative and technical roles in healthcare, 8 week medical billing and coding courses provide an efficient way to enter the field. Understanding chemistry can enhance one’s ability to manage complex medical records more effectively.
Additionally, students may pursue technical degrees such as the best online radiology tech programs, where a solid foundation in chemistry is essential for understanding imaging processes and radiation safety. These career pathways demonstrate how chemistry studies can lead to diverse and practical opportunities across healthcare and science sectors.
