Geochemistry, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Structural basin and Tectonics are the subjects of interest in the journal. Journal of African Earth Sciences focuses on Geochemistry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Craton, Mineralogy and Petrology. Journal of African Earth Sciences connects the study in Craton with the closely related area of Archean.
Cretaceous, Facies, Sedimentary depositional environment, Rift and Gondwana are some of the study areas of Paleontology discussed. The presentations focused mostly on Structural basin in an attempt to further explore topics in Geomorphology. Journal of African Earth Sciences explores the study of Tectonics to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Seismology.
The Metamorphic rock study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Metamorphism.
The most cited papers are organized to address concerns in the fields of Geochemistry, Paleontology, Rift, Craton and Sedimentary rock. The journal publications tackle studies in Petrology and the interrelated subject of Pluton to gain insights into Geochemistry. Orogeny, Archean, Proterozoic, Gneiss and Terrane are some topics wherein Craton research discussed in the journal papers has an impact.
The journal investigates areas of study like Geochemistry, Paleontology, Facies, Distribution (economics) and Cretaceous. Journal of African Earth Sciences features works in Geochemistry, more specifically Felsic, and explores their relation to disciplines like Chain (algebraic topology). The journal explores topics in Felsic which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Sedimentary rock, Sediment, Feldspar, Mineralogy and Lithology.
The journal holds forums on Facies that merges themes from other disciplines such as Sedimentary depositional environment and Lithostratigraphy. In the journal, Foreland basin, Diachronous, Beaufort Group, Chronostratigraphy and Carboniferous are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Sedimentary depositional environment research. The journal explores issues in Cretaceous which can be linked to other research areas like Fold (geology), Anticline, Fault (geology), Atlas (topology) and Series (stratigraphy).
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 Journal of African Earth Sciences (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 Journal of African Earth Sciences (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 2022 edition, 66.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 33.33% of all publications and 33.33% 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.
