The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Structural engineering, Composite material, Geotechnical engineering, Reinforced concrete and Cement. Structural engineering research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Ultimate tensile strength and Cracking. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Composite material and Forensic engineering.
The work on Geotechnical engineering addressed in it expands to the thematically related Prestressed concrete. The journal focuses on Reinforced concrete as well as the interrelated topic of Shear (geology). The studies in Cement featured incorporate elements of Waste management and Fly ash.
The work on Metallurgy presented in Magazine of Concrete Research focuses on Corrosion in particular. Compressive strength study tackled is connected to the field of Strength of materials. The journal connects the study in Shrinkage with the closely related area of Creep.
The most cited articles mainly tackle studies in Structural engineering, Composite material, Geotechnical engineering, Cement and Compressive strength. In addition to Structural engineering research, the most cited papers aim to explore topics under Ultimate tensile strength and Cracking. Aside from discussions in Composite material, the journal publications also deal with the subject of Forensic engineering which intersects with Cement paste and Creep disciplines.
The concepts of Composite material, Structural engineering, Reinforced concrete, Cement and Compressive strength are tackled in Magazine of Concrete Research. Composite material studies presented include Mortar, Shrinkage, Reinforcement, Steel fibre and Corrosion. While Structural engineering is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Shear (geology) and Punching.
The in-depth study on Reinforced concrete also explores topics in the intersecting field of Flexural strength. The work tackled in Magazine of Concrete Research goes beyond the discipline of Cement as it also encompasses Microstructure. The featured Compressive strength studies mainly concentrate on Metallurgy but also cover areas of interest in Carbonation.
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 Magazine of Concrete Research (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 Magazine of Concrete Research (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, 5.11% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.69% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.08% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.08% of all publications and 46.15% 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.
