The main points discussed in the journal deals with Oceanography, Climatology, Bay, Current (stream) and Phytoplankton. As a part of the journal, discussions in Oceanography involve topics like Salinity, Water mass, Hydrography, Seawater and Subarctic climate. Research on Seawater addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Environmental chemistry.
Journal of Oceanography facilitates discussions on Climatology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Eddy and Ocean gyre. The in-depth study on Eddy also explores topics in the intersecting field of Anticyclone. The Phytoplankton study featured in Journal of Oceanography draws connections with the study of Chlorophyll a.
The most cited articles aim to foster the development of research in Oceanography, Climatology, Current (stream), Phytoplankton and Sea surface temperature. The works on Oceanography tackled in the most cited articles bring together disciplines like Ocean gyre, Eddy and Seasonality. Most of the Climatology studies addressed in the most cited publications also intersect with Altimeter.
The concepts of Oceanography, Atmospheric sciences, Current (stream), Subarctic climate and Turbulence are tackled in the journal. Discussions in Journal of Oceanography are anchored in the subject of Oceanography and the similar topic of Biogeochemical cycle. The work on Atmospheric sciences tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Internal wave, Water mass, North Pacific Intermediate Water, Ocean general circulation model and Mixing (physics).
Journal of Oceanography holds forums on Current (stream) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Submarine pipeline, Zooplankton, Thermocline, Continental shelf and Barotropic fluid. Issues in Subarctic climate were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Mesoscale eddies, Latitude and Ocean gyre. Journal of Oceanography features research on Sea surface temperature in an attempt to reinforce studies in the field of Climatology.
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 Oceanography (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 Oceanography (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, 6.35% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 72.88% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 3.39% of all publications and 10.17% 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.
