Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society?

Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society facilitates discussions on Inorganic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Chromatography, Stereochemistry and Analytical chemistry. In addition to Inorganic chemistry research, Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society aims to explore topics under Ligand, Adsorption, Metal, Electrochemistry and Aqueous solution. The main emphasis of the journal is the research on Organic chemistry, emphasizing the topic of Catalysis.

It emphasizes research on Chromatography, which includes concerns such as Detection limit. Most of the Stereochemistry studies addressed also intersect with Medicinal chemistry.

  • Inorganic chemistry (16.35%)
  • Organic chemistry (12.41%)
  • Chromatography (9.83%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • A consideration of the correct calculation of thermodynamic parameters of adsorption (344 citations)
  • Investigation of metal-flavonoid chelates and the determination of flavonoids via metal-flavonoid complexing reactions* (218 citations)
  • Topology and stability of conjugated hydrocarbons: The dependence of total π-electron energy on molecular topology (132 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society:

The journal publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Inorganic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Chromatography, Nuclear chemistry and Adsorption. Aside from discussions in Inorganic chemistry, the journal articles also deal with the subject of Metal which intersects with Schiff base disciplines. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Organic chemistry, it also covers topics in Condensation and Antibacterial activity.

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society covers a variety of subjects, including Nuclear chemistry, Chemical engineering, Combinatorial chemistry, Stereochemistry and Catalysis. It focuses on Nuclear chemistry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Chitosan, Langmuir adsorption model, Aqueous solution, Scanning electron microscope and Chemical composition. Topics in Chemical engineering explored in Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society were investigated in conjunction with research in Oxide, Membrane and Reaction mechanism.

It focuses on Combinatorial chemistry as well as the interrelated topic of Metal. In Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society, Candida albicans, Antimicrobial, Hydrogen bond and Cytotoxicity are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Stereochemistry research. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Catalysis and the similar topic of Yield (chemistry).

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, 8.04% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 49.51% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.97% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.71% of all publications and 39.81% 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.
