Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Health and Pollution?

Environmental health, Heavy metals, Environmental chemistry, Environmental protection and Waste management are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. In addition to Environmental health research, it aims to explore topics under Lead poisoning and Public health. Heavy metals research presented in Journal of Health and Pollution encompasses a variety of subjects, including Health risk assessment, Soil water, Soil contamination and Environmental engineering.

The journal holds forums on Environmental chemistry that merges themes from other disciplines such as Contamination, Cadmium and Arsenic. In particular, the Contamination works presented emphasize discussions on Environmental remediation. The study on Arsenic presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Groundwater.

The Waste management study tackling the subject of Municipal solid waste is the focus of Journal of Health and Pollution.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Health and Pollution:

The most cited publications generally zeroe in on subjects such as Environmental protection, Heavy metals, Environmental health, Soil contamination and Environmental planning. While the most cited publications focused on Environmental protection, they were also able to explore topics like Ingestion, Organochlorine pesticide and Arsenic. The published articles facilitate discussions on Heavy metals that incorporate concepts from other fields like Environmental engineering and Water resource management.

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

  • China
  • Internal medicine
  • Waste management

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Environmental health, Contamination, Toxicology, Cadmium and Environmental chemistry. Topics in Environmental health were tackled in line with various other fields like Pesticide and Socioeconomic status. The presented Contamination research focuses mostly on Soil test and, on occasion, topics in Flooding (psychology) and Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

The studies on Toxicology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Hazard quotient, Alternative fuels, Soil water, Flight operations and Bioaccumulation. It explores research in Cadmium alongside concepts in Arsenic and other areas of study in Surface runoff, Effluent and Selenium. Environmental chemistry research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Manganese and Road dust.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Environmental and Health Risks of Pesticide Use in Ethiopia. (3 citations)
  • Spatial Distribution of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Contaminants after Hurricane Harvey in a Houston Neighborhood. (2 citations)
  • Assessment of Pollution and Health Risks of Heavy Metals in Particulate Matter and Road Dust Along the Road Network of Dhanbad, India. (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Health and Pollution (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Ibadan (25 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Obafemi Awolowo University (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Lagos (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Pure Earth (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous 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 2021 edition, 2.27% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.98% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.60% of all publications and 62.79% 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.
