Overview

Top Research Topics at Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Composite material, Metallurgy, Microstructure, Chemical engineering and Scanning electron microscope. As a part of it, discussions in Composite material involve topics like Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number, Flexural strength, Fiber and Ceramic. Alloy, Corrosion, Austenite, Indentation hardness and Welding are all subfields of Metallurgy research that were featured in Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials.

It connects research in Scanning electron microscope with the related topic of Analytical chemistry.

  • Composite material (31.25%)
  • Metallurgy (23.46%)
  • Microstructure (13.41%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Nanocomposites: synthesis, structure, properties and new application opportunities (720 citations)
  • Kinetics of phase change (512 citations)
  • A review on the development and properties of continuous fiber/epoxy/aluminum hybrid composites for aircraft structures (355 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials:

The published papers investigate studies in Composite material, Metallurgy, Scanning electron microscope, Chemical engineering and Microstructure. Composite material studies presented in the journal articles include Flexural strength, Composite number, Epoxy, Ultimate tensile strength and Polymer. The journal articles address concerns in the field of Scanning electron microscope by exploring it in line with topics in Analytical chemistry which intersect with Thin film subjects.

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

  • Composite material
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Composite material, Metallurgy, Microstructure, Chemical engineering and Scanning electron microscope. It aims to address concerns in Metallurgy, specifically in the areas of Corrosion and Austenite. Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials facilitates discussions on Microstructure that incorporate concepts from other fields like Alloy and Phase (matter).

Some problems in Phase (matter) that were presented in Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials overlapped with concepts under Ceramic and Analytical chemistry. The studies on Chemical engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Thin film and Deposition (phase transition). The Scanning electron microscope study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Nuclear chemistry.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Novel Biosensor Detection of Tuberculosis Based on Photonic Band Gap Materials (7 citations)
  • On the Heat Capacity of Pure Elements and Phases (3 citations)
  • Influence of Hastelloy’s Cathodic Cage Plasma Deposition on Corrosion Resistance of AISI 304 Stainless Steel and of AISI D6 Tool Steel (3 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.

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, 10.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.41% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.77% of all publications and 22.56% 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.
