Journal of Chemical Crystallography

Top Research Topics at Journal of Chemical Crystallography?

The foci of the journal are Crystal structure, Crystallography, Organometallic chemistry, Molecule and Monoclinic crystal system. The concepts on Crystal structure presented in Journal of Chemical Crystallography can also apply to other research fields, including X-ray crystallography, Crystal and Stereochemistry. The in-depth study on X-ray crystallography also explores topics in the intersecting field of Inorganic compound.

The Stereochemistry study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Medicinal chemistry. Crystallography research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Ligand, Ring (chemistry) and Hydrogen bond. Issues in Hydrogen bond were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Intramolecular force, Stacking and Intermolecular force.

Journal of Chemical Crystallography holds forums on Organometallic chemistry that merges themes from other disciplines such as Denticity, Octahedron, Copper, Bicyclic molecule and Infrared spectroscopy. It facilitates discussions on Molecule that incorporate concepts from other fields like Carboxylate, Hydrate and Dimer. While the journal focused on Monoclinic crystal system, it was also able to explore topics like Pyridine and Moiety.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Chemical Crystallography:

The most cited publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Crystallography, Crystal structure, Organometallic chemistry, Molecule and Hydrogen bond. While Crystallography is the focus of the published articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Carboxylate and Ligand. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Crystal structure, it also covers topics in X-ray crystallography, Ring (chemistry), Single crystal and Crystal.

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

• Organic chemistry
• Catalysis
• Oxygen

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Crystallography, Crystal structure, Organometallic chemistry, Molecule and Hydrogen bond are the subjects of interest in Journal of Chemical Crystallography. The Crystallography study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Ligand. The work on Crystal structure tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Pyridine, Crystal and Intermolecular force.

The tackled Organometallic chemistry research is interrelated with Manganese which concerns subjects like Octahedron. The presented Molecule research focuses mostly on Metallacrown and, on occasion, topics in Ring (chemistry). It focuses on Hydrogen bond but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Acetamide, Stacking, Solvent and Synthon.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Classes of Aluminum-Lanthanide-Sodium Heterotrimetallic 12-Metallacrown-4 Compounds: Individual Molecules and Dimers of Metallacrowns (4 citations)
• Synthesis, Crystal Structure, DFT Calculations and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of 3-Chloro-2,6-Bis(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-Methylpiperidin-4-One (3 citations)

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, 12.20% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.89% of all publications and 73.61% 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.
