Overview

Top Research Topics at Physical sciences reviews?

Physical sciences reviews is organized to address concerns in the fields of Nanotechnology, Organic chemistry, Pigment, Chemical engineering and Green chemistry. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Pigment, apply to Nuclear chemistry as well.

  • Nanotechnology (12.64%)
  • Organic chemistry (6.69%)
  • Pigment (5.76%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • NanoSQUIDs: Basics & recent advances (27 citations)
  • The halogen bond: Nature and applications (27 citations)
  • Synthesis and characterization of size- and shape-controlled silver nanoparticles (27 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Physical sciences reviews:

The most cited papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Nanotechnology, Chemical engineering, Mineralogy, Trace element and Biochemistry. The journal publications help close the divide between two different fields of study: Nanotechnology and Christian ministry. The journal papers hold forums on Chemical engineering that merge themes from other disciplines such as Dye-sensitized solar cell and Ionic liquid.

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The primary areas of discussion in Physical sciences reviews are Pigment, Nuclear chemistry, Pulp and paper industry, Organic chemistry and Nanotechnology. The journal facilitates discussions on Pigment that incorporate concepts from other fields like Polymorphism (materials science) and Polymer chemistry, Azo coupling.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • A short history of multiferroics (3 citations)
  • The microstructure of magnetorheological materials characterized by means of computed X-ray microtomography (2 citations)
  • Multiferroic heterostructures for spintronics (2 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 Physical sciences reviews (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Robert M. Christie (17 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition,
  • Gerhard Pfaff (16 papers) published 16 papers at the last edition,
  • Fidele Ntie-Kang (16 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Adrian Abel (16 papers) published 16 papers at the last edition,
  • Bartosz Tylkowski (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than 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 Physical sciences reviews (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Heriot-Watt University (17 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition,
  • Technische Universität Darmstadt (13 papers) published 13 papers at the last edition,
  • Poznań University of Technology (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Johannesburg (9 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Buea (8 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 2 more than 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, 13.73% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.18% of all publications and 29.55% 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.
