Rapid Prototyping Journal mostly deals with topics like Composite material, Rapid prototyping, Mechanical engineering, 3D printing and Engineering drawing. Ultimate tensile strength, Selective laser sintering, Microstructure, Sintering and Selective laser melting are all aspects of Composite material research featured in it. Research on Ultimate tensile strength addressed in Rapid Prototyping Journal frequently intersections with the field of Fused deposition modeling.
It is concerned with the study of Selective laser sintering and Laser in general. The Sintering study featured falls within the larger field of Metallurgy. Most of the Selective laser melting studies addressed also intersect with Porosity.
The featured Rapid prototyping studies mainly concentrate on Manufacturing engineering but also cover areas of interest in Process (engineering). The studies on Mechanical engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Surface roughness, Deposition (phase transition) and Surface (mathematics). CAD is a key component of Engineering drawing research discussed in Rapid Prototyping Journal.
The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Rapid prototyping, Composite material, Engineering drawing, Mechanical engineering and Selective laser sintering. The journal publications address concerns in Rapid prototyping which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Computer Aided Design, Manufacturing engineering, CAD, Stereolithography and Biomedical engineering. The published articles link adjacent topics like Composite material with Metallurgy.
The topics of Composite material, 3D printing, Mechanical engineering, Fused filament fabrication and Fused deposition modeling are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Rapid Prototyping Journal facilitates discussions in Ultimate tensile strength, Surface roughness, Microstructure and Deposition (phase transition) as part of the larger field of Composite material, however, it also tackles fields such as Polylactic acid. The research on Ultimate tensile strength featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Material properties and Fracture (geology).
3D printing research presented in Rapid Prototyping Journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Curing (chemistry), Inkwell, Polymer, Ceramic and Rapid prototyping. The journal focuses on Mechanical engineering as well as the interrelated topic of Finite element method. The journal addresses concerns in Fused filament fabrication which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Extrusion, Infill and Nozzle.
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 Rapid Prototyping Journal (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 Rapid Prototyping Journal (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, 95.51% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 25.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 75.00% 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.

(2023)Exploring Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering can open doors to various innovative industries. For those considering alternative or complementary career paths, it's important to be aware of flexible education options tailored to diverse needs. For instance, there are online colleges that accept felons, providing opportunities for individuals with felony records to pursue higher education and career advancement.
Older adults interested in re-skilling or changing careers can find support through the best degrees for older adults. These programs often offer flexible scheduling and personalized learning to accommodate busy lifestyles and lifelong learners.
For those drawn to the psychological aspects related to human factors engineering or seeking advanced roles in clinical psychology, exploring apa-accredited psyd programs can be a great option. Many of these programs waive GRE requirements, easing entry barriers for qualified candidates.
Additionally, healthcare professionals aiming to specialize quickly might consider the fastest psych np program, which offers accelerated pathways to become Nurse Practitioners focused on psychiatric mental health. These programs combine clinical knowledge with practical training, complementing engineering roles that intersect with human health and safety.
