The topics of Archaeology, Ecology, Prehistory, Ethnology and Anthropology are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Archaeology research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Context (language use) and Period (geology). The study on Ecology presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Hunter-gatherer.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Anthropology, apply to Politics as well. The featured Subsistence agriculture research is covered under the field of Agriculture.
The journal articles aim to foster the development of research in Archaeology, Ecology, Prehistory, Anthropology and Foraging. The published papers explore research in Archaeology alongside concepts in Isotope analysis and other areas of study in Radiocarbon dating. The published papers hold forums on Anthropology that merge themes from other disciplines such as Epistemology and Ethnology.
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology mainly tackles studies in Archaeology, Ethnology, Context (language use), Politics and Prehistory. Issues in Archaeology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Period (geology) and Distribution (economics). In the journal, Identity (social science), Social identity theory, Mesoamerica and Subsistence agriculture are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Ethnology research.
Context (language use) research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Assemblage (archaeology) and Domestication. The journal addresses concerns in Politics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Power (social and political), Ancient history, Period (music) and State (polity). The work on Prehistory tackled in Journal of Anthropological Archaeology brings together disciplines like Bronze Age and Agriculture.
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 Anthropological Archaeology (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 Anthropological Archaeology (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, 8.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.35% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.47% of all publications and 45.88% 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.
