Overview

Top Research Topics at Spectroscopy?

Spectroscopy is organized to address concerns in the fields of Analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Spectroscopy, Chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Analytical chemistry, it also covered topics in Spectral line, Infrared and Fourier transform. Detection limit is a major topic of Chromatography research.

  • Analytical chemistry (27.18%)
  • Raman spectroscopy (12.05%)
  • Spectroscopy (11.27%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Surface plasmon resonance: principles, methods and applications in biomedical sciences (229 citations)
  • In situ Characterisation of Living Cells by Raman Spectroscopy (182 citations)
  • The potential of Raman microscopy and Raman imaging in plant research (172 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Spectroscopy:

The journal publications facilitate discussions on Analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Spectroscopy and Infrared spectroscopy. Analytical chemistry research is the primary subject tackled in the journal publications with a focus in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The journal articles explore issues in Raman spectroscopy which can be linked to other research areas like In situ, Oxide, Laser and Nuclear magnetic resonance.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Quantum mechanics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Artificial intelligence, Analytical chemistry, Spectroscopy, Principal component analysis and Support vector machine. While the primary focus in the journal is Artificial intelligence, it also dissects topics surrounding Remote sensing and Absorption spectroscopy, Formazine, Standard solution, Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) and Chemical oxygen demand as a whole. Analytical chemistry research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Atmospheric-pressure plasma, Volumetric flow rate, Jet (fluid), Plasma jet and Dielectric barrier discharge.

While it focused on Spectroscopy, it was also able to explore topics like Fixation (histology), Molecular analysis, Substrate (electronics) and Histopathology. The journal deals with Principal component analysis in conjunction with Kernel (statistics) and similar fields in Regression analysis, Partial least squares regression, Correlation coefficient, Bayesian multivariate linear regression and Biological system. It holds forums on Support vector machine that merges themes from other disciplines such as In situ, Multivariate analysis, Ductal carcinoma, Linear discriminant analysis and Visible near infrared.

  • He-Plasma Jet Generation and Its Application for E. coli Sterilization (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Spectroscopy (based on the number of publications) are:

  • David W. Ball (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gary Siuzdak (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Andrew J. Macnab (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Cristina M. Muntean (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Landulfo Silveira (10 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Spectroscopy (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • De Montfort University (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • China University of Mining and Technology (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Charles University in Prague (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Scripps Research Institute (10 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 23.08% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.00% of all publications and 75.00% 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

Exploring Chemistry in the USA opens doors to various related online degrees and career pathways. Students interested in healthcare might consider programs like online rn programs for non nurses, which provide an accessible route into nursing without prior healthcare experience.

For those aiming to advance their healthcare careers with convenience, some universities offer easy nurse practitioner programs to get into, combining flexible online learning with specialized clinical training.

Beyond direct patient care, careers like medical billing and coding are vital to healthcare administration. Understanding the medical coder salary and job roles can help chemistry graduates diversify their options in the healthcare sector.

Additionally, advancing from an RN to a BSN through online rn to bsn programs with no clinicals can enhance professional credentials while accommodating busy schedules, especially for those balancing work and study.
