The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Composite material, Natural rubber, Elastomer, Polymer and Polymer chemistry. Journal of Elastomers and Plastics aims to address concerns in Composite material, specifically in the areas of Ultimate tensile strength, Vulcanization, Polyurethane, Polymer blend and Carbon black. The Ultimate tensile strength research dealing mostly with Tear resistance is the focus of Journal of Elastomers and Plastics.
Some problems in Natural rubber that were presented in Journal of Elastomers and Plastics overlapped with concepts under Curing (chemistry), Styrene-butadiene, Filler (packaging) and Modulus. The Elastomer study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Thermoplastic elastomer. It explores topics in Polymer chemistry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Copolymer and Organic chemistry.
The published articles cover a variety of subjects, including Composite material, Natural rubber, Polymer, Ultimate tensile strength and Elastomer. Issues in Natural rubber were discussed in the most cited articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Filler (materials) and Styrene-butadiene. The works on Elastomer tackled in the journal articles bring together disciplines like Characterization (materials science), Glass transition and Polyurethane.
The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Composite material, Natural rubber, Nanocomposite, Elastomer and Copolymer. In the Composite material research discussed, Filler (packaging), Polypropylene, Polymer composites, Polymer and Composite number are all tackled. Natural rubber research in it involves the investigation of Acrylonitrile studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Curing (chemistry).
The research on Nanocomposite featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Characterization (materials science), Maleic anhydride, Nanoparticle, Izod impact strength test and Response surface methodology. While Elastomer is the focus of Journal of Elastomers and Plastics, it also provided insights into the studies of Polyurethane and Thermoplastic elastomer. Most of the Copolymer studies addressed also intersect with Rheology.
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 Elastomers and 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 Elastomers and 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, 10.96% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.69% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.85% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.92% of all publications and 61.54% 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.
