Journal of Polymer Science mainly deals with areas of study such as Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Polymerization, Chemical engineering and Copolymer. The research on Polymer chemistry featured in Journal of Polymer Science combines topics in other fields like Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Methyl methacrylate, Monomer and Styrene. The Polymer works featured in it incorporate elements from Analytical chemistry, Molecule and Thermodynamics.
Viscosity is part of Thermodynamics studies tackled in it. The journal features Polymerization research that overlaps with concepts in Photochemistry.
The journal papers cover a variety of subjects, including Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Thermodynamics, Polymerization and Organic chemistry. The most cited articles focus on Polymer chemistry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Copolymer, Methyl methacrylate, Monomer, Polystyrene and Chemical engineering. The journal publications explore issues in Polymer which can be linked to other research areas like Crystallography, Amorphous solid, Molecule and Polyethylene.
The main points discussed in the journal deals with Chemical engineering, Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Copolymer and Polymerization. The concepts on Chemical engineering presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Self-assembly and Membrane. The in-depth study on Polymer chemistry also explores topics in the intersecting field of Catalysis.
Journal of Polymer Science explores studies in Polymer as part of the wider topic of Composite material.
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 Polymer Science (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 Polymer Science (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, 1.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 3.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.61% of all publications and 84.27% 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.

(2021)Pursuing a Chemistry degree in the USA opens doors to various online degree programs and career pathways beyond traditional laboratory roles. Many students explore certifications and professional credentials that complement their scientific knowledge, such as obtaining a cpc certification, which can enhance career prospects in healthcare administration and coding.
For those interested in applying their chemistry background to healthcare, exploring the steps to become a pharmacist provides a clear pathway. Pharmacists rely heavily on chemistry knowledge in medication formulation and patient care, making this a natural career extension.
Additionally, non-nurses curious about entering the healthcare field may find accredited online adn programs for non nurses that allow for flexible and accessible nursing education. These programs prepare graduates for essential roles in patient care with a foundation in science.
For those seeking advanced practice roles, researching the easiest online nurse practitioner programs can highlight efficient paths to obtaining nurse practitioner credentials, often blending chemistry knowledge with clinical practice.
