The journal facilitates discussions on Crystallography, Condensed matter physics, Dislocation, Composite material and Metallurgy. Philosophical Magazine focuses on Crystallography but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Electron microscope, Transmission electron microscopy and Alloy. Condensed matter physics research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Optics and Anisotropy.
Many of the studies tackled connect Dislocation with a similar field of study like Stress (mechanics). Philosophical Magazine aims to address concerns in Composite material, specifically in the areas of Deformation (engineering) and Plasticity. The journal features studies on Metallurgy, including topics such as Microstructure.
The journal publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Crystallography, Condensed matter physics, Dislocation, Composite material and Metallurgy. Electron microscope, Transmission electron microscopy, Deformation (engineering) and Copper are some topics wherein Crystallography research discussed in the most cited publications has an impact. Issues in Condensed matter physics were discussed in the most cited papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Crystal twinning, Grain boundary and Nucleation.
The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Composite material, Condensed matter physics, Metallurgy, Microstructure and Alloy. The study of Composite material encompasses disciplines such as Single crystal, as well as fields such as Dynamics (mechanics), all of which overlap with one another. Philosophical Magazine covers various topics on Condensed matter physics such as Dislocation and Spin-½.
The featured Metallurgy studies mainly concentrate on Coating but also cover areas of interest in Corrosion. Philosophical Magazine holds forums on Microstructure that merges themes from other disciplines such as Texture (crystalline) and Grain size. Studies on Alloy discussed in the journal link to the field of Phase (matter).
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 Philosophical Magazine (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 Philosophical Magazine (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, 2.05% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 4.20% of all publications and 83.92% 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.

(2020)For students interested in studying Physics in the USA, exploring related online degrees can open up diverse career opportunities. Pursuing a physics online degree offers flexibility and affordability for learners balancing other commitments. These programs often cover fundamental physics while integrating modern technology, making them ideal for remote learning.
Beyond physics, interdisciplinary fields like graphic design are gaining popularity. A graphic design bachelor degree not only develops creative skills but also aligns well with careers that emphasize visual communication, often suitable for remote work scenarios.
For those considering advanced education, particularly in teaching or leadership roles within scientific disciplines, exploring affordable online edd programs can be a strategic move. These doctoral degrees prepare professionals for educational administration and policy-making in STEM fields.
Finally, selecting a degree aligned with the best degrees for remote work can greatly enhance employability in today’s evolving job market. Many physics-related roles, especially in research and data analysis, are increasingly adaptable to remote environments, offering graduates broader flexibility in their career paths.
