Overview

Top Research Topics at Reviews in Physics?

The concepts of Particle physics, Large Hadron Collider, Physics beyond the Standard Model, Plasmon and Higgs boson are tackled in Reviews in Physics. The close relationship between Nuclear physics and Elliptic flow is one of the points of interest dissected in Particle physics research. The studies on Large Hadron Collider discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Standard Model, Electroweak interaction and Collider.

Some problems in Physics beyond the Standard Model that were presented in Reviews in Physics overlapped with concepts under Neutrino oscillation, Neutrino, Effective field theory, Elementary particle and Muon. Effective field theory research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Phase space, Electric dipole moment and Hidden sector. Topics in Plasmon explored in Reviews in Physics were investigated in conjunction with research in Field (physics), Luminescence and Nanotechnology.

Heterojunction and Metamaterial are some topics wherein Nanotechnology research discussed in it have an impact. Acoustic metamaterials research are fields of study within Metamaterial but they also intertwine with concepts in TRACE (psycholinguistics). While Higgs boson is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Boson and Fermilab, Pair production, Measure (mathematics) and Symmetry breaking.

The journal articles facilitate discussions on Metamaterial that incorporate concepts from other fields like Open quantum system and Engineering physics. The studies on Cellular network discussed at the journal papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Transmission (telecommunications), Paradigm shift and Light source.

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Photon

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Plasmon, Dipole, Higgs boson, Collider and Context (language use). While it focused on Plasmon, it was also able to explore topics like Photonics, Nanotechnology, Nanostructure, Field (physics) and Nonlinear optics. Most of the Dipole studies addressed also intersect with Electric field.

In addition to Higgs boson research, Reviews in Physics aims to explore topics under Large Hadron Collider, Standard Model and Systems engineering.

  • Collective lattice resonances: Plasmonics and beyond (18 citations)
  • Graphene plasmon for optoelectronics (5 citations)
  • Future colliders for the high-energy frontier (3 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 top authors publishing in Reviews in Physics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • P.G. Kevrekidis (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • D.J. Frantzeskakis (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Andrea Giammanco (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mengtao Sun (2 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Maxime Gouzevitch (2 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Reviews in Physics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Université catholique de Louvain (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • CERN (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Royal Institute of Technology (2 papers) absent at the last edition.

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, 0.00% 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 60.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.
