Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Solution Chemistry?

Journal of Solution Chemistry was organized to reinforce research efforts on Aqueous solution, Inorganic chemistry, Thermodynamics, Analytical chemistry and Solvent. The concepts on Aqueous solution presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Molecule and Solubility. In addition to Inorganic chemistry research, the journal aims to explore topics under Ionic strength, Electrolyte and Ion, Ionic bonding, Stability constants of complexes.

Topics in Ionic strength explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Potentiometric titration and Protonation. The study on Thermodynamics presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Activity coefficient. Mole fraction is a primary topic of Analytical chemistry research in the journal.

Solvation and Solvent effects are all aspects of Solvent research featured in the journal. The journal holds forums on Molar volume that merges themes from other disciplines such as Binary system and Viscosity. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Enthalpy and the similar topic of Heat capacity.

Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 8.97% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.04% of all publications and 77.46% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in Chemistry, exploring related online degrees can open multiple career pathways. Careers in healthcare and science often overlap, providing diverse opportunities beyond the traditional chemistry roles.

If you’re curious about pharmaceutical sciences, understanding is it hard to become a pharmacist helps set realistic expectations about the rigorous education and training involved. Pharmacy careers require strong chemistry knowledge and offer rewarding experiences in medication management and patient care.

Alternatively, healthcare fields such as nursing are increasingly accessible through flexible education options. Many students without prior nurse training can pursue online nursing programs for non nurses, which provide accelerated paths into the profession.

For those seeking specialization, some students opt for the easiest fnp program, focusing on family nurse practitioner roles. These programs emphasize practical skills and can be completed fully online, appealing to career changers and working professionals.

Non-clinical roles like medical billing and coding also relate closely to healthcare and chemistry through medical terminology and insurance processes. The medical billing and coding job outlook remains promising, offering a stable career with opportunities for remote work and growth.
