Overview

Top Research Topics at Russian Journal of Earth Sciences?

Russian Journal of Earth Sciences focuses largely on the fields of Geophysics, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Seismology and Oceanography. In it, Earth's magnetic field and Lithosphere are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Geophysics research. The Geochemistry works featured in it incorporate elements from Earth science and Petrology.

The Paleontology research dealing mostly with Paleomagnetism is the focus of Russian Journal of Earth Sciences. Seismology research is the primary subject tackled in the journal with a focus on Tectonics.

  • Geophysics (16.07%)
  • Geochemistry (14.39%)
  • Paleontology (11.59%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Middle Paleozoic subduction belts: The leading factor in the formation of the Central Asian fold-and-thrust belt (193 citations)
  • The Vendian-early Paleozoic history of the continental margin of eastern Paleogondwana, Paleoasian ocean, and Central Asian Foldbelt (114 citations)
  • Modeling of Seismo-Electromagnetic Phenomena (64 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Russian Journal of Earth Sciences:

The journal papers aim to foster the development of research in Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Paleozoic, Geomorphology and Sedimentary rock. The published papers about Permian, Carboniferous, Island arc and Cenozoic under the umbrella field of Paleontology overlap with concepts in Boundary (topology). The journal articles encompass Paleomagnetism studies in the context of Geophysics as a whole.

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

  • Statistics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Oceanography

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Oceanography, Geochemistry, Atmospheric sciences, Geomorphology and Distribution (economics). Russian Journal of Earth Sciences explores topics in Oceanography which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Trace element and Distribution (number theory). The concepts on Geochemistry presented in Russian Journal of Earth Sciences can also apply to other research fields, including Porosity, Cretaceous, Section (archaeology), Peninsula and Zoning.

The studies in Atmospheric sciences featured incorporate elements of TEC, Low latitude, Ionosphere, Turbulent heat and Subarctic climate. The research on Geomorphology discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Sea ice thickness. Research in Typhoon discussed is concerned with the study of Climatology as a whole.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Interannual variability of moistening in the European Russia (1 citations)
  • Evaluation of interdecadal trends in sea ice, surface winds and ocean waves in the Arctic in 1980--2019 (1 citations)
  • Recognition of earthquake-prone areas in the Altai-Sayan-Baikal region based on the morphostructural zoning (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 Russian Journal of Earth Sciences (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Anatoly Soloviev (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Roman Krasnoperov (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • A. D. Gvishiani (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • S. M. Agayan (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sh. R. Bogoutdinov (10 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 Russian Journal of Earth Sciences (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Australian National University (1 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Stanford University (1 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (1 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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
