The topics of Seismology, Geometry, Mineralogy, Fault (geology) and Petrology are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Topics in Seismology were tackled in line with various other fields like Slip (materials science) and Paleontology. Topics in Geometry explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Kinematics, Geotechnical engineering, Fold (geology) and Shear (geology), Simple shear.
Issues in Fold (geology) were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Anticline, Hinge and Thrust, Thrust fault. While the journal focused on Shear (geology), it was also able to explore topics like Brittleness and Shear stress. In addition to Mineralogy research, Journal of Structural Geology aims to explore topics under Deformation mechanism, Quartz, Grain size and Grain boundary.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Fault (geology), apply to Rift as well. The Petrology works featured in Journal of Structural Geology incorporate elements from Nappe, Sedimentary rock, Outcrop, Geomorphology and Shear zone. Aside from discussions in Shear zone, it also deals with the subject of Geochemistry which intersects with Pluton disciplines.
The main points discussed in the published articles deal with Seismology, Geometry, Fault (geology), Mineralogy and Shear zone. The journal papers with studies in Geometry featured incorporate elements of Kinematics, Geotechnical engineering, Fold (geology), Simple shear and Slip (materials science). In addition to Shear zone research, the most cited papers aim to explore topics under Shear (geology), Metamorphic rock, Petrology and Lineation.
Journal of Structural Geology mainly tackles studies in Petrology, Fault (geology), Fracture (geology), Tectonics and Shear zone. While the primary focus in the journal is Petrology, it also dissects topics surrounding Outcrop and Orientation (computer vision) as a whole. Research in Fault (geology) discussed is concerned with the study of Seismology as a whole.
The presented research on Tectonics deals specifically with Geochemistry but it also addresses topics in Vein (geology). The studies in Shear zone featured incorporate elements of Deformation mechanism, Lineation and Pure shear, Simple shear. The presented Shear (geology) research provided insight into the related
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 Structural Geology (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 Structural Geology (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, 6.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.21% of all publications and 57.58% 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.
