The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Plasma, Atomic physics, Electron, Magnetic field and Ion. Topics in Plasma were tackled in line with various other fields like Computational physics and Mechanics, Instability. Mechanics research in Physics of Plasmas involves the investigation of Classical mechanics studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Nonlinear system.
The Atomic physics research presented in Physics of Plasmas explores the relationship between Laser and the closely related topic of Pulse (physics). It explores research in Quantum electrodynamics and overlapping concepts in Quantum mechanics to expand the discourse in Electron. The work on Magnetic field tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Field (physics) and Condensed matter physics.
Ion studies presented in Physics of Plasmas focus on topics such as Ion acoustic wave and Dusty plasma. The research on Magnetohydrodynamics discussed in Physics of Plasmas draws on the closely related field of Magnetic reconnection. The studies in Two-stream instability featured incorporate elements of Electromagnetic electron wave and Waves in plasmas.
The published articles explore disciplines such as Plasma, Atomic physics, Electron, Mechanics and Ion. The published papers facilitate discussions on Plasma that incorporate concepts from other fields like Magnetic field, Instability and Electric field. The Atomic physics research presented in the journal publications focuses mostly on Laser and, on occasion, topics in Pulse (physics).
Plasma, Electron, Atomic physics, Computational physics and Magnetic field are among the topics commonly tackled in Physics of Plasmas. The journal addresses concerns in Plasma which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Ion, Mechanics, Electric field and Laser. While Mechanics is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Magnetohydrodynamics and Shear (sheet metal).
The studies on Electron discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Field (physics), Beam (structure) and Quantum electrodynamics. In addition to Atomic physics research, the journal aims to explore topics under Range (particle radiation), Ionization, Electron density and Kinetic energy. Research on Computational physics addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Amplitude.
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 Physics of Plasmas (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 Physics of Plasmas (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, 15.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.00% of all publications and 35.99% 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.
