Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Chemical Sciences?

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Crystallography, Inorganic chemistry, Catalysis, Organic chemistry and Stereochemistry. Topics in Crystallography explored in Journal of Chemical Sciences were investigated in conjunction with research in Molecule, Hydrogen bond and Ligand. While Molecule is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Photochemistry and Computational chemistry.

Some problems in Inorganic chemistry that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Metal and Aqueous solution. The research on Catalysis tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Chemical engineering, Polymer chemistry and Nuclear chemistry. Yield (chemistry), Aryl and One-pot synthesis are among the areas of Organic chemistry tackled.

The journal focused on Stereochemistry research but expanded to cover Medicinal chemistry.

  • Crystallography (19.95%)
  • Inorganic chemistry (17.93%)
  • Catalysis (17.34%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Graphene-based electrochemical supercapacitors (700 citations)
  • Chemical hardness and density functional theory (416 citations)
  • Bader’s Theory of Atoms in Molecules (AIM) and its Applications to Chemical Bonding (180 citations)

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

Inorganic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Crystallography and Molecule are the main subjects of interest in the most cited publications. The published papers facilitate discussions on Inorganic chemistry that incorporate concepts from other fields like Nuclear chemistry, Nanoparticle, Adsorption, Metal and Aqueous solution. The works on Crystallography tackled in the published articles bring together disciplines like Electron paramagnetic resonance, Stereochemistry and Copper.

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Quantum mechanics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Catalysis, Chemical engineering, Combinatorial chemistry, Nuclear chemistry and Photochemistry. Catalysis research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Inorganic chemistry, Aryl, Metal and Solvent. Redox are all disciplines of Inorganic chemistry that connect with topics in Acetohydroxamic acid.

Aside from discussions in Chemical engineering, it also deals with the subject of Selectivity which intersects with Adsorption disciplines. The journal explores issues in Nuclear chemistry which can be linked to other research areas like Nanoparticle, BET theory and Particle size. It addresses concerns in Photochemistry which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as BODIPY, Fluorescence and Excited state.

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, 8.18% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.73% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.83% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.86% of all publications and 42.57% 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.
