The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Coating, Composite material, Corrosion, Epoxy and Polymer. It facilitates discussions on Coating that incorporate concepts from other fields like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Nanoparticle, Contact angle, Layer (electronics) and Thermal stability. Concepts in Thermogravimetric analysis, as well as related topics in Differential scanning calorimetry, are covered in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy research presented in the journal.
Most of the Contact angle studies addressed also intersect with Wetting. Nanocomposite, Polyurethane, Scanning electron microscope, Curing (chemistry) and Composite number are among the areas of Composite material tackled. Issues in Corrosion were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Polyaniline, Dielectric spectroscopy, Electrochemistry and Nuclear chemistry.
Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Dielectric spectroscopy and the similar topic of Analytical chemistry. Progress in Organic Coatings connects the study in Polymer with the closely related area of Polymer chemistry. The studies in Polymer chemistry featured incorporate elements of Copolymer, Polymerization, Acrylate, Photopolymer and Monomer.
The journal articles investigate studies in Composite material, Coating, Corrosion, Epoxy and Dielectric spectroscopy. The journal publications link adjacent topics like Composite material with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The published papers explore issues in Coating which can be linked to other research areas like Nanoparticle, Silane and Scanning electron microscope.
The journal mostly deals with topics like Coating, Polyurethane, Copolymer, Polyester and Dielectric spectroscopy. The Coating study featured falls within the wider field of Composite material. Progress in Organic Coatings explores issues in Composite material which can be linked to other research areas like Characterization (materials science) and Pigment.
Polyurethane research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Castor oil, Thermal stability and Carbon-13 NMR. It holds forums on Copolymer that merges themes from other disciplines such as Photografting, Perfluoropolyether, Polymer chemistry and Polymeric surface. The journal explores topics in Dielectric spectroscopy which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Corrosion, Thermogravimetric analysis, Polydimethylsiloxane, Epoxy and Methyl methacrylate.
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 Progress in Organic Coatings (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 Progress in Organic Coatings (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 2022 edition, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 71.43% 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)Studying Materials Science in the USA opens doors to diverse career paths, but it’s important to consider additional qualifications that can enhance your prospects. Many students explore best certifications for jobs to complement their degree and increase marketability in specialized fields such as nanotechnology, aerospace, and manufacturing.
For those interested in interdisciplinary skills, enrolling in programs like an online photography degree can be surprisingly relevant. Materials scientists often work with imaging techniques to analyze materials, making visual documentation a valuable skill.
Another viable route is pursuing advanced degrees such as an online DBA programs, especially if you aim to shift toward management or leadership roles within technology-driven companies. The business acumen gained complements the technical background well.
Additionally, competency-based degrees and programs offer flexible, skill-focused education tailored to working professionals. Exploring competency based degrees and programs allows materials science students to accelerate their learning by demonstrating mastery instead of traditional time-based courses.
