Overview

Top Research Topics at Remediation Journal?

The objective of Remediation Journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Environmental remediation, Waste management, Environmental engineering, Groundwater and Environmental chemistry. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Environmental remediation, it also covered topics in Perspective (graphical), Soil contamination, Risk analysis (engineering) and Environmental planning. Perspective (graphical) study tackled is connected to the field of Engineering ethics.

Waste management research presented in Remediation Journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Contamination, Bioremediation and Petroleum. It connects the study in Environmental engineering with the closely related area of Soil water. The presentations focused mostly on Groundwater in an attempt to further explore topics in Hydrology.

Remediation Journal explores topics in Environmental chemistry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Biodegradation and Reductive dechlorination.

  • Environmental remediation (41.43%)
  • Waste management (32.36%)
  • Environmental engineering (26.76%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Applications of iron nanoparticles for groundwater remediation (186 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Remediation Journal:

The journal papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Environmental remediation, Waste management, Groundwater, Environmental engineering and Environmental chemistry. The most cited articles address concerns in Environmental remediation which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Process (engineering) and Environmental planning. While Environmental engineering is the focus of the most cited publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Biomass, Contamination, Phytoremediation and Aquifer.

The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Environmental remediation, Environmental chemistry, Groundwater, Waste management and Perspective (graphical). The research on Environmental remediation featured in it combines topics in other fields like Environmental engineering, Image (mathematics), Column (database) and Remote sensing. Biostimulation, Biodegradation, Degradation (geology) and Foam fractionation are some topics wherein Environmental chemistry research discussed in Remediation Journal have an impact.

Concepts in In situ, as well as related topics in In situ remediation, Sparging, Hydrology and Aquifer, are covered in the Groundwater research presented in it. Some problems in Waste management that were presented in Remediation Journal overlapped with concepts under Contamination, Petroleum and Demolition waste. While Contamination is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Wastewater and Environmental planning.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The in situ treatment of TCE and PFAS in groundwater within a silty sand aquifer (3 citations)
  • Monitored natural attenuation to manage PFAS impacts to groundwater: Potential guidelines (1 citations)
  • The in situ treatment of Basic Violet 16 synthetic dye in groundwater (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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.

Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 44.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.14% of all publications and 64.29% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
