The aim of Korean Journal of Metals and Materials is to expand the discussion of research in Metallurgy, Composite material, Microstructure, Chemical engineering and Alloy. Presentations on Metallurgy include those discussing Corrosion, Welding, Annealing (metallurgy), Martensite and Intermetallic. Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number, Sintering, Tensile testing and Coating are all subfields of Composite material research that were featured in Korean Journal of Metals and Materials.
The published articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Metallurgy, Composite material, Alloy, Microstructure and Ultimate tensile strength. In addition to Metallurgy research, the published papers aim to explore topics under Scanning electron microscope and Palladium. The most cited publications connects research in Composite material with the related topics of Biocompatibility.
Korean Journal of Metals and Materials generally zeroes in on subjects such as Metallurgy, Composite material, Chemical engineering, Microstructure and Optoelectronics. Research on Metallurgy addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Cracking. The journal tackles issues in Composite material, particularly in the topics of Alloy, Anodizing, Composite number and Wetting.
Topics in Chemical engineering were tackled in line with various other fields like Catalysis and Adsorption. Microstructure research discussed connects with the study of Ultimate tensile strength. The concepts on Optoelectronics presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Sheet resistance and Electron transport layer.
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 Korean Journal of Metals and Materials (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 Korean Journal of Metals and Materials (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, 93.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 83.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.67% 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 0.00% 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)Studying Materials Science opens diverse career opportunities, but it’s also wise to consider complementary or alternative degree options. For those interested in expanding into social sectors, msw programs online offer flexible ways to earn a Master of Social Work, broadening job prospects beyond traditional labs or engineering roles.
If time is a concern, exploring 12 month master's programs online can be an efficient route to advance your expertise quickly. Many of these programs focus on high-demand fields, allowing faster entry into specialized roles with competitive salaries.
For those interested in entering the workforce swiftly, many quick degree programs provide valuable skills in short periods, balancing cost and return on investment. These options are ideal for career switchers or professionals seeking to upskill without lengthy commitments.
Lastly, aligning your studies with the best degrees to get can significantly influence career growth and salary potential. Materials Science often ranks highly in this regard, but staying informed about top majors helps you make strategic educational decisions.
