Journal of Functional Biomaterials focuses on Composite material, Chemical engineering, Analytical chemistry, Metallurgy and Microstructure. The journal covers various topics on Composite material such as Composite number, Scanning electron microscope, Coating, Ultimate tensile strength and Porosity. Journal of Functional Biomaterials explores topics in Chemical engineering which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Inorganic chemistry, Nanotechnology and Polymer chemistry.
Issues in Inorganic chemistry were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Catalysis, Adsorption and Nuclear chemistry. The journal explores issues in Polymer chemistry which can be linked to other research areas like Copolymer, Polymerization and Polymer. The concepts on Analytical chemistry presented in Journal of Functional Biomaterials can also apply to other research fields, including Doping, Thin film, Mineralogy, Diffraction and Electrochemistry.
The journal focused on Metallurgy research but expanded to cover Phase (matter).
The published papers are organized to reinforce research efforts on Nanotechnology, Tissue engineering, Biocompatibility, Drug delivery and Scaffold. The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Nanotechnology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Chitosan, Regenerative medicine, Stem cell, Polymer and Self-healing hydrogels. The most cited papers explore topics in Tissue engineering which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Calcium orthophosphate, 3D printing, Regeneration (biology) and Nanofiber.
The journal focuses largely on the fields of Biomedical engineering, Composite material, Biocompatibility, Chemical engineering and Implant. Biomedical engineering research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Scanning electron microscope, Bone cement, Composite number and Bone healing. In Journal of Functional Biomaterials, Raman spectroscopy, Morphology (linguistics) and Scaffold are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Composite material research.
The journal facilitates discussions on Biocompatibility that incorporate concepts from other fields like Tissue engineering, Extracellular, Secretion, Methyltrimethoxysilane and Self-healing hydrogels. The Chemical engineering works featured in it incorporate elements from Titanium, Polymer, Linoleic acid and Elastic modulus. Regeneration (biology) research featured in Journal of Functional Biomaterials incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Nanotechnology, Stem-cell therapy, Cell therapy and Anoikis.
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 Functional Biomaterials (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 Functional Biomaterials (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, 24.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 100.00% 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.

(2020)For those interested in expanding their knowledge beyond Materials Science, pursuing online degrees in complementary fields can open diverse career opportunities. For example, professionals aiming to enhance communication skills may consider online masters in communications programs. These programs are designed to be flexible and affordable, making them accessible to working students.
If time is a critical factor, several accelerated options exist. Some 6 month masters degree programs offer intensive, focused learning that can significantly speed up degree completion without compromising quality.
For professionals seeking to boost their credentials or pivot careers, high paying certificate jobs provide practical pathways. Certifications can enhance expertise in specialized areas related to Materials Science and often lead to lucrative job prospects.
Creative fields also offer relevant options. Those interested in capturing material innovations visually might explore photography colleges online, which provide practical skills in digital imaging—a useful asset in research and marketing within technical industries.
