Research areas of the most cited articles at Nuclear Physics News:

The most cited publications mainly tackle studies in Nuclear physics, Physics beyond the Standard Model, Neutron, Nucleon and Engineering physics. Nuclear physics research presented in the published articles is mostly focused on the subject of Gammasphere. While the primary focus in the published articles is Physics beyond the Standard Model, they also dissect topics surrounding Equation of state and Energy (signal processing) as a whole.

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Neutron

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Nuclear Physics News generally zeroes in on subjects such as Nuclear physics, Neutron star, Autoregressive integrated moving average, Engineering ethics and Astronomy. The Nuclear physics study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Field (physics). Research in Equation of state and the interrelating topic of Radius, Astrophysics, Solar mass and Strange quark were among the subjects of interest in the Neutron star studies discussed in it.

The in-depth study on Astronomy also explores topics in the intersecting field of Cluster (physics). The studies in Neutron featured incorporate elements of Quark, Quark–gluon plasma and Nucleon. The concepts on Atomic nucleus presented in Nuclear Physics News can also apply to other research fields, including Beta decay, Nuclear reaction, Double beta decay, Heavy ion and Subatomic particle.

  • In Memoriam: Marc Lefort (1923–2021) (1 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 Nuclear Physics News (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jean Vervier (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Muhsin N. Harakeh (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Walter Kutschera (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • A. Bracco (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • R. F. Casten (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous 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 Nuclear Physics News (based on the number of publications) are:

  • TRIUMF (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • CERN (19 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Argonne National Laboratory (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Max Planck Society (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Milan (11 papers) absent at the last 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, 25.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.04% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.81% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 25.93% 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.
