Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of The Iranian Chemical Society?

The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Detection limit and Nuclear chemistry. The tackled Catalysis research is interrelated with Chemical engineering which concerns subjects like Scanning electron microscope. Solvent free, One-pot synthesis, Ionic liquid, Aryl and Reagent are all aspects of Organic chemistry research featured in it.

The research on Inorganic chemistry tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Crystallography, Crystal structure, Electrochemistry, Electrode and Aqueous solution. While the journal focused on Crystallography, it was also able to explore topics like Molecule and Ligand. Many of the studies tackled connect Aqueous solution with a similar field of study like Adsorption.

Detection limit research discussed is linked with studies in Chromatography and Analytical chemistry. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Chromatography as it also encompasses Solvent. The Nuclear chemistry study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

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, 7.62% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.68% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.37% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.76% of all publications and 53.19% 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 students interested in expanding their career options beyond traditional chemistry roles, exploring related online degrees can be a smart move. Many healthcare-related programs offer flexible online formats, making it easier for individuals from diverse backgrounds to enter new fields. For example, online bsn programs for non nurses provide a pathway for those without prior nursing experience to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Additionally, some may find that nurse practitioner programs with easy admission offer accessible entry points into advanced nursing roles. These programs often balance academic rigor with achievable admission criteria, helping students transition smoothly into the healthcare sector.

For those interested in administrative healthcare roles, understanding the medical billing and coding job outlook is crucial. This career pathway benefits from growing demand and the option to work remotely, making it an attractive alternative for chemistry graduates looking to diversify their skills.

Finally, registered nurses aiming to advance their qualifications may consider rn to bsn programs with no clinicals, which offer convenience without compromising the quality of education. These programs support career advancement while maintaining flexibility for working professionals.
