The journal aims to foster the development of research in Natural rubber, Composite material, Hevea brasiliensis, Ultimate tensile strength and Chemical engineering. While it focused on Natural rubber, it was also able to explore topics like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Plant biochemistry and Thermal stability. Filler (materials), Silicone rubber, Styrene-butadiene, Carbon black and Young's modulus are among the areas of Composite material tackled.
It explores issues in Hevea brasiliensis which can be linked to other research areas like Germplasm, Botany, Horticulture and Biochemistry. The presentations discussing Ultimate tensile strength offer insights in topics such as Elongation and Tear resistance. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Chemical engineering as it also encompasses Polymer.
Most of the Vulcanization studies addressed also intersect with Curing (chemistry).
The published articles aim to foster the development of research in Natural rubber, Hevea brasiliensis, Horticulture, Hevea and Botany. The Natural rubber studies which were featured in the most cited papers aim to expound on the research in Composite material. The most cited articles explore issues in Hevea brasiliensis which can be linked to other research areas like Amino acid, Ethephon, Exon, Open reading frame and Intron.
Journal of Rubber Research primarily tackles Natural rubber, Composite material, Hevea brasiliensis, Elastomer and Ultimate tensile strength. Natural rubber research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Swelling, Chemical engineering, Scanning electron microscope and Epoxy. The presented Composite material research focuses mostly on Thermal stability and, on occasion, topics in Thermogravimetric analysis, Filler (materials) and Carbon black.
It tackles studies in Horticulture and the interrelated subject of Heritability and Rhizosphere to gain insights into Hevea brasiliensis. While Elastomer is the focus of Journal of Rubber Research, it also provided insights into the studies of Work (thermodynamics), Sorption, Material properties, Dissipative system and Numerical analysis. The presented Ultimate tensile strength study covers related areas such as Tear resistance and also touches on topics like Cone calorimeter.
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 Rubber Research (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 Rubber Research (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, 15.79% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.83% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.83% of all publications and 16.67% 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)For students exploring Materials Science, supplementing your education with short certificate programs can enhance your skills quickly and improve job prospects. These focused programs often cover emerging technologies and materials testing techniques valuable in the field.
If you have an interest in education or training within materials science industries, consider degrees like instructional design. This path prepares you to develop educational materials and training programs, essential for corporate and technical education roles.
Veterans looking to transition from military service to the materials science sector may find unique opportunities through photography programs online for veterans. These programs highlight the importance of detailed visual analysis and documentation techniques, which are complementary skills in material inspection fields.
Lastly, careers in materials science often appeal to careers for introverts due to the focus on research, development, and analytical work that can be done independently or in small teams. This can offer a comfortable environment for those who prefer thoughtful, detail-oriented tasks.
