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

  • Composite material
  • World War II
  • Quantum mechanics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Composite material, Metallurgy, Chemical engineering, Microstructure and Alloy are the subjects of interest in JOM. Composite material research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Annealing (metallurgy) and Laser. Slag, Metal, Aluminium, Leaching (metallurgy) and Silicon are all topics related to Metallurgy research discussed.

The research on Leaching (metallurgy) discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Extraction (chemistry). Topics in Chemical engineering explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Oxide, Anode and Scanning electron microscope. Issues in Alloy were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Ductility and Phase (matter).

  • Isothermal Carbothermal Reduction of FeTiO 3 Doped with MgO (9 citations)

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 JOM (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Francis H. Froes (68 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Arnold B. Silverman (63 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Maureen Byko (51 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Nicholas J. Grant (50 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • James J. Robinson (38 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 JOM (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (228 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Central South University (224 papers) published 21 papers at the last edition, 18 less than at the previous edition,
  • General Electric (216 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Oak Ridge National Laboratory (189 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • Los Alamos National Laboratory (159 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 14 less than at the previous 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, 19.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.51% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.49% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.80% of all publications and 62.20% 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.
