Overview

Top Research Topics at Revue de Micropaléontologie?

The journal primarily tackles Paleontology, Foraminifera, Biostratigraphy, Genus and Oceanography. The research on Paleontology discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Fauna. Studies on Fauna discussed in it link to the field of Ostracod.

The study of Benthic zone serves as the foundation of the Foraminifera research discussed in the journal. In particular, the Biostratigraphy works presented emphasize discussions on Biozone. Revue de Micropaléontologie explores the study of Genus to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Zoology.

The Oceanography study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Ecology. Cenomanian is the primary subject of Cretaceous works presented in Revue de Micropaléontologie. Revue de Micropaléontologie focuses on Radiolaria research which is adjacent to topics in Taxonomy (biology).

  • Paleontology (52.15%)
  • Foraminifera (17.38%)
  • Biostratigraphy (14.34%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Benthic foraminifera as bioindicators of pollution: A review of Italian research over the last three decades (141 citations)
  • Distribution of recent foraminiferal assemblages near the Ombrone River mouth (Northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) (90 citations)
  • Palaeozoic Foraminifera: Systematics, palaeoecology and responses to global changes (88 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Revue de Micropaléontologie:

The most cited papers primarily tackle Paleontology, Foraminifera, Oceanography, Cretaceous and Benthic zone. The journal publications feature Paleontology research that overlaps with concepts in Genus. The works on Benthic zone tackled in the most cited publications bring together disciplines like Continental shelf and Fauna.

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Paleontology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The objective of Revue de Micropaléontologie is to combine knowledge in the areas of Paleontology, Foraminifera, Sedimentary rock, Ostracod and Structural basin. The study of Paleontology encompasses disciplines such as Genus, as well as fields such as Epoch (reference date), all of which overlap with one another. The research on Foraminifera tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Terebratulida, Faunal assemblage and Paleogene.

The subject of Continental shelf, which is connected to the field of Echinocythereis, Plateau and Archaeology, serves as the foundation of the Sedimentary rock research featured in it. While Ostracod is the key highlight in Revue de Micropaléontologie, it also covered some subjects on Pleistocene and Sequence (geology), Marl, Bathyal zone and Quaternary. While the journal focused on Structural basin, it was also able to explore topics like Glacial period and Plankton.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Growth pattern of the siliceous skeletons of living Spumellaria (Radiolaria) from the Kuroshio Current, offshore southwestern Shikoku Island, Japan (1 citations)
  • Middle to Late Paleocene larger benthic foraminifera from the Sirt Basin (Libya) (1 citations)
  • Reconstruction of oceanographic and environmental conditions in the eastern Mediterranean (Kottafi Hill section, Cyprus Island) during the middle Miocene Climate Transition (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 top authors publishing in Revue de Micropaléontologie (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Paulian Dumitrica (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,

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, 10.53% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.76% of all publications and 35.29% 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.
