The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Laser, Composite material, Optics, Laser beam welding and Welding. In it, Mechanical engineering and Optoelectronics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Laser research. As a part of Journal of Laser Applications, discussions in Composite material involve topics like Microstructure, Ultimate tensile strength, Alloy, Scanning electron microscope and Ceramic.
Beam (structure), Laser beam quality, Wavelength, Beam parameter product and Femtosecond are among the areas of Optics tackled. The journal explores issues in Laser beam welding which can be linked to other research areas like Keyhole, Electric resistance welding and Weld pool, Gas tungsten arc welding. The featured Welding research is covered under the field of Metallurgy.
Studies on Metallurgy discussed in Journal of Laser Applications link to the field of Coating. Ablation, Fluence and Analytical chemistry are some topics wherein Laser ablation research discussed in Journal of Laser Applications have an impact. Laser beam machining research presented in Journal of Laser Applications encompasses a variety of subjects, including Laser drilling and Machining.
The most cited publications tackle a plethora of topics, such as Laser, Metallurgy, Laser beam welding, Optics and Welding. Mechanical engineering and Optoelectronics are some topics wherein Laser research discussed in the published papers has an impact. The Metallurgy research tackled in the most cited papers is interrelated with Composite material which concerns subjects like Beam (structure).
The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Laser, Composite material, Welding, Laser beam welding and Optics. While it focused on Laser, it was also able to explore topics like Cladding (metalworking), Optoelectronics and Deposition (phase transition). Aside from discussions in Composite material, it also deals with the subject of Laser power scaling which intersects with Thermal disciplines.
The research on Welding featured in it combines topics in other fields like Alloy, Ultimate tensile strength and Copper. Journal of Laser Applications mainly concentrates on Laser beam welding but also investigates its connection with concepts in disciplines such as
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 Laser Applications (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 Laser Applications (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, 12.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.50% of all publications and 43.33% 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.
