Overview

Top Research Topics at Bollettino Della Societa Geologica Italiana?

The concepts of Paleontology, Geochemistry, Tectonics, Geomorphology and Seismology are tackled in Bollettino Della Societa Geologica Italiana. It aims to address concerns in Paleontology, specifically in the areas of Structural basin, Sedimentary rock, Facies, Outcrop and Sedimentary depositional environment. The study on Seismology featured in it expounds on the topic of Fault (geology) in particular.

  • Paleontology (21.41%)
  • Geochemistry (11.30%)
  • Tectonics (10.28%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Bollettino Della Societa Geologica Italiana:

Paleontology, Seismology, Tectonics, Geochemistry and Geomorphology are the main subjects of interest in the journal articles. The most cited papers concentrate on Paleontology topics that focus on Structural basin, Sedimentary rock, Neogene, Foreland basin and Carbonate platform. While Seismology is the key highlight in the most cited publications, thet also covered some subjects on Quaternary and Pleistocene.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Bollettino Della Societa Geologica Italiana focuses largely on the fields of Seismology, Volcano, Geochemistry, Hydrothermal circulation and Archaeology. Aside from research in Seismology, the journal also discusses Northern italy studies. The overlapping concepts between Impact crater and Etna volcano, Magnitude (mathematics) and Soil co2 flux are the key highlights of Volcano study.

The main emphasis of Bollettino Della Societa Geologica Italiana is the subject of Geochemistry, focusing on Sedimentary rock. The Sedimentary rock works featured in it incorporate elements from Provenance, Baryte and Pyrite. The research on Archaeology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Lime, Petrography and Lithology.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Vertebrate Trace Fossils: the Congo's Brasilichnium mammaloid fossil footprints (2 citations)
  • New insights into the degassing dynamics of Lago Albano (Colli Albani volcano, Rome, Italy) during the last three decades (1989-2019) (2 citations)
  • Facies, composition and provenance of the Agnone Flysch in the context of the early Messinian evolution of the southern Apennine foredeep (Molise, Italy) (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.

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.

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, 40.74% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 62.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.25% of all publications and 18.75% 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.
