The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Metallurgy, Composite material, Crystallography, Alloy and Thermodynamics. Presentations on Metallurgy include those discussing Microstructure, Creep, Aluminium, Grain boundary and Ultimate tensile strength. The Composite material study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Forensic engineering.
The in-depth study on Forensic engineering also explores topics in the intersecting field of Mechanics. Topics in Crystallography were tackled in line with various other fields like Condensed matter physics, Phase (matter) and Analytical chemistry. Dislocation works presented in Materials Science and Engineering have a specific focus on Dislocation creep.
The journal links adjacent topics like Amorphous solid with Crystallization.
The published papers are organized to address concerns in the fields of Metallurgy, Composite material, Crystallography, Alloy and Dislocation. The journal papers deal with Composite material in conjunction with Forensic engineering and similar fields in Mechanics. The journal articles hold forums on Crystallography that merge themes from other disciplines such as Condensed matter physics, Phase (matter) and Thermodynamics.
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 Materials Science and Engineering (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 Materials Science and Engineering (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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 100.00% 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.
