The aim of Polymer International is to expand the discussion of research in Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Composite material, Chemical engineering and Copolymer. While it focused on Polymer chemistry, it was also able to explore topics like Monomer, Polymerization, Radical polymerization, Differential scanning calorimetry and Thermal stability. It concentrated on Polymerization research, specifically Chain transfer and Ring-opening polymerization.
It connects research in Thermal stability with the related topic of Thermogravimetric analysis. The concepts on Polymer presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Crystallinity, Nanotechnology and Polymer science. Nanocomposite, Ultimate tensile strength, Epoxy, Polymer blend and Natural rubber are all areas of Composite material tackled in it.
Chemical engineering studies presented in it focus on topics such as Crystallization and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the Copolymer research discussed, Styrene, Methyl methacrylate and Methacrylate are all tackled.
Polymer chemistry, Composite material, Polymer, Chemical engineering and Polymerization are the main subjects of interest in the most cited articles. While Polymer chemistry is the focus of the most cited publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Copolymer, Monomer, Radical polymerization, Differential scanning calorimetry and Thermal stability. The published articles explore issues in Polymer which can be linked to other research areas like Crystallinity, Nanotechnology and Polyurethane.
Chemical engineering, Composite material, Polymer, Copolymer and Polymer chemistry are the subjects of interest in Polymer International. Chemical engineering research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Self-assembly and Polymerization. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Composite material as it also encompasses Dielectric.
The field of Organic chemistry is the anchor for the Polymer studies presented in the journal.
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 Polymer International (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 Polymer International (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, 4.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.21% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.58% of all publications and 73.93% 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.
