Overview

Top Research Topics at NanoImpact?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Nanomaterials, Nanotechnology, Nanoparticle, Toxicity and Chemical engineering. The Nanomaterials study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Nano-. Nanoparticle works presented in the journal have a specific focus on Dynamic light scattering.

In NanoImpact, Biophysics, Pharmacology and In vivo are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Toxicity research. Biophysics research featured in NanoImpact incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Nanotoxicology and Silver nanoparticle. In addition to In vivo research, NanoImpact aims to explore topics under Viability assay and In vitro.

Many of the studies tackled connect Chemical engineering with a similar field of study like Coating.

  • Nanomaterials (16.05%)
  • Nanotechnology (15.76%)
  • Nanoparticle (14.61%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at NanoImpact:

The journal publications generally zeroe in on subjects such as Nanotechnology, Manufactured nanomaterials, Risk analysis (engineering), Nanomaterials and Context (language use). The journal papers focus on Nanotechnology research which is adjacent to topics in Hazard. Research in the field of Chemical engineering was used to conduct the presented Nanomaterials studies in the most cited publications.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

NanoImpact investigates areas of study like Toxicity, Biophysics, Nanoparticle, Context (language use) and Nanomaterials. The research on Toxicity tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of In vitro, Pharmacology and In vivo. The journal facilitates discussions on Biophysics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Apoptosis, Internalization, Nanotoxicology and Cytotoxicity.

The studies on Nanoparticle discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Redox, Nuclear chemistry and Particle size. NanoImpact held discussions to help close the divide between the fields of Context (language use) and Decision tree, SAFER, Nanotechnology and Sustainability. It focuses on Nanomaterials but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Environmental chemistry, Biological system and Nano-.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Towards safe and sustainable innovation in nanotechnology: state-of-play for smart nanomaterials (17 citations)
  • Unintended human ingestion of nanoplastics and small microplastics through drinking water, beverages, and food sources (6 citations)
  • In vitro skin toxicity of CuO and ZnO nanoparticles: Application in the safety assessment of antimicrobial coated textiles (6 citations)

Papers citation 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, 7.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.67% of all publications and 50.67% 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.
