The foci of Journal of Cellular Plastics are Composite material, Polyurethane, Blowing agent, Polymer and Forensic engineering. Extrusion, Polystyrene, Polypropylene, Compressive strength and Thermal conductivity are all subfields of Composite material research that were featured in the journal. The Polyurethane study featured falls within the larger field of Organic chemistry.
The journal features Blowing agent research that overlaps with concepts in Nucleation.
The most cited papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Composite material, Blowing agent, Polyurethane, Polymer and Polypropylene. The published papers address concerns in Composite material which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Cell morphology and Nucleation. Talc, Thermal conductivity, Polystyrene, High-density polyethylene and Concentration effect are some topics wherein Blowing agent research discussed in the journal publications has an impact.
The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Composite material, Polyurethane, Thermal insulation, Thermal and Polypropylene. The study of Composite material encompasses disciplines such as Cell density, as well as fields such as Thermoplastic, all of which overlap with one another. The studies on Polyurethane discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Mold, Mold filling, Computer simulation and Molding (process).
Journal of Cellular Plastics addresses concerns in the field of Thermal insulation by exploring it in line with topics in Thermal conductivity which intersect with Compressive strength, Emulsion, Melamine formaldehyde, Catalysis and Vacuum insulated panel subjects. The work on Polypropylene tackled in Journal of Cellular Plastics brings together disciplines like Taguchi methods, Surface modification, Shear (sheet metal), Carbon nanotube and Dielectric. Blowing agent research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including In situ and Adduct.
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 Cellular Plastics (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 Cellular Plastics (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, 7.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 3.85% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.69% of all publications and 76.92% 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.

(2021)Exploring Materials Science opens a variety of career pathways, but many students also consider complementary fields that enhance their skills. For example, earning a master's in instructional design can be an excellent option for those interested in developing educational technologies or corporate training programs in scientific industries.
Veterans seeking new opportunities often benefit from flexible and accessible programs. A veteran friendly online photography degree offers creative outlets and professional pathways that complement technical skills gained in Materials Science.
For introverts passionate about science and technology, careers aligned with their personality traits provide fulfilling work environments. Researching good jobs for introverts highlights roles that combine analytical skills and minimal social pressure, perfect for many Materials Science graduates.
Additionally, becoming a certified child life specialist salary often appeals to those wanting to merge scientific knowledge with healthcare. This emerging field underscores the value of interdisciplinary study and offers diverse career options post-graduation.
