The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Archaeology, Prehistory, Ecology, Holocene and Oceanography. Many of the studies tackled connect Archaeology with a similar field of study like Period (geology). Marine conservation is a primary topic of Ecology research in the journal.
Holocene research presented in The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology encompasses a variety of subjects, including Archaeological record and Pleistocene. The Radiocarbon dating study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Chronology.
The published articles mainly tackle studies in Archaeology, Oceanography, Prehistory, Sea level and Archipelago. Issues in Archaeology were discussed in the most cited papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Marine conservation and Climate change. The most cited publications hold forums on Prehistory that merge themes from other disciplines such as Atoll, Period (geology), Fishing and Underwater archaeology.
The journal mainly tackles studies in Archaeology, Prehistory, Pleistocene, Ecology and Holocene. The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology holds forums on Archaeology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Continental shelf, Period (geology) and Climate change. While the journal focused on Prehistory, it was also able to explore topics like The Renaissance, Art history and Shore.
Concepts in Homo sapiens, as well as related topics in Adaptation and Colonization, are covered in the Pleistocene research presented in the journal. The studies on Ecology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Population growth and Genetic variation. Holocene research in it involves the investigation of Environmental history studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Coastal geography, Woodland and Taphonomy.
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 The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology (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 The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology (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, 3.77% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.57% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.80% of all publications and 52.94% 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.
