Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of the Crystallographic Society of Japan?

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Crystallography, Crystal structure, X-ray crystallography, X-ray and Analytical chemistry.

  • Crystallography (10.75%)
  • Crystal structure (5.97%)
  • X-ray crystallography (4.78%)

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

  • Electron
  • Algebra
  • Oxygen

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal explores disciplines such as Optics, Chemical physics, Basis (linear algebra), Macromolecular crystallography and Composite material. Topics in Optics explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Sample preparation and Strain (chemistry). Issues in Basis (linear algebra) were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Biophysics and Thermodynamics.

The Macromolecular crystallography works featured in Journal of the Crystallographic Society of Japan incorporate elements from Computer graphics (images) and Computational science. Journal of the Crystallographic Society of Japan focuses on Composite material research which is adjacent to topics in Crystal structure. It deals with Structure (category theory) in conjunction with Biological system and similar fields in Protein crystallization.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • DNA Manufacturing Using Non-Visit Fully Automated Data Collection (0 citations)
  • New Applications of the High-Throughput Data Collection System at SPring-8 Macromolecular Crystallography Beamlines (0 citations)
  • 電子線三次元結晶構造解析/3D ED/マイクロED (0 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.

The top authors publishing in Journal of the Crystallographic Society of Japan (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Massimo Nespolo (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Shigeru Ohba (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kunio Miki (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Toshiya Senda (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Yoshikazu Tanaka (4 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

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 Journal of the Crystallographic Society of Japan (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Tokyo (17 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Tohoku University (14 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • Kyoto University (12 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Osaka University (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Tokyo Institute of Technology (11 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

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.

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, 22.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.45% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.81% of all publications and 12.90% 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.
