Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Environmental Engineering?

Environmental engineering, Waste management, Hydrology, Environmental chemistry and Water treatment are the subjects of interest in the journal. The studies on Environmental engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Soil water, Pollutant and Groundwater. Waste treatment, Waste disposal and Municipal solid waste are all aspects of Waste management research featured in it.

Presentations on Hydrology include those discussing Water quality, Surface runoff and Water pollution. In particular, the Surface runoff works presented emphasize discussions on Stormwater. Environmental chemistry research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Soil contamination, Biodegradation and Environmental remediation.

It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Water treatment and Adsorption. The journal investigates Adsorption research which frequently intersects with Inorganic chemistry. The research on Wastewater featured in Journal of Environmental Engineering combines topics in other fields like Pulp and paper industry and Sewage treatment.

Papers citation over time

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 Environmental Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • John J. Sansalone (57 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Makram T. Suidan (46 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • William F. Hunt (41 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Michael K. Stenstrom (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Allen P. Davis (33 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Environmental Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • United States Environmental Protection Agency (75 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • University of Florida (57 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Minnesota (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Cincinnati (46 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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 2022 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
