The concepts of Metallurgy, Microstructure, Composite material, Alloy and Scanning electron microscope are tackled in Rare Metals. The journal holds forums on Metallurgy that merges themes from other disciplines such as Coating and Phase (matter). The Microstructure works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Ultimate tensile strength, Sintering, Annealing (metallurgy) and Grain size.
Composite number and Deformation (engineering) are Composite material topics of special interest in it. Intermetallic is a major topic of Alloy research presented in it. The research on Scanning electron microscope featured in it combines topics in other fields like Transmission electron microscopy, Diffraction and Analytical chemistry.
The journal explores issues in Analytical chemistry which can be linked to other research areas like Thin film, Electrochemistry and Doping. The close relationship between Lithium and Anode is one of the points of interest dissected in Electrochemistry research. The research on Metallic materials discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Nanotechnology.
The journal publications explore disciplines such as Metallurgy, Alloy, Microstructure, Scanning electron microscope and Composite material. Most of the works presented in the journal papers deal with Metallurgy but they intersect with the subject of Phase (matter). While the journal articles focused on Scanning electron microscope, they were also able to explore topics like Nuclear chemistry, Transmission electron microscopy, Analytical chemistry, Cyclic voltammetry and Coating.
The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Composite material, Microstructure, Alloy, Metallic materials and Scanning electron microscope. Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number, Deformation (engineering), Equiaxed crystals and Texture (crystalline) studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Composite material presented. The discussions emphasized the topic of Microstructure in an attempt to further explore the field of Metallurgy.
While work presented in Rare Metals provided substantial information on Alloy, it also covered topics in Oxide, Phase (matter), Aluminium and Corrosion. While Metallic materials is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Nanotechnology and Anode. Issues in Scanning electron microscope were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Transmission electron microscopy and Analytical chemistry.
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 Rare Metals (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 Rare Metals (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, 9.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.39% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.20% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.71% of all publications and 27.70% 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.
