The journal explores disciplines such as Composite material, Composite number, Industrial chemistry, Materials processing and Structural engineering. The journal addresses concerns in Composite material which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Characterization (materials science) and Metallurgy.
Composite material, Industrial chemistry, Materials processing, Composite number and Metallurgy are among the topics commonly tackled in the most cited publications. Composite material research in the published articles connects with the study of Artificial neural network. Issues in Composite number were discussed in the journal papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Process modeling, Vibration, Moving load, Autoclave and Infiltration (hydrology).
The journal mostly deals with topics like Composite material, Composite number, Epoxy, Cross section (physics) and Nano-. Composite material research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Characterization (materials science) and Vibration. The journal tackles research in Short glass fiber as part of the general discipline of Composite number, however, it also discusses concepts in Bone fixation.
Topics in Epoxy explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Syntactic foam, Delamination, Reinforced concrete, Glass microsphere and Bio based. Topics in Nano- were tackled in line with various other fields like Carbon, Resin composite, Supersonic speed and Flutter. Science and Engineering of Composite Materials holds forums on Aluminium that merges themes from other disciplines such as Beam (structure), Flexural strength and Failure mode and effects analysis.
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 Science and Engineering of Composite Materials (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Science and Engineering of Composite Materials (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 10.42% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.28% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.93% of all publications and 58.14% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For those interested in expanding their expertise beyond traditional Materials Science degrees, several related online programs offer flexible and affordable options. Competency based programs are particularly effective for students looking to accelerate their studies by demonstrating practical skills, making them a great fit for working professionals aiming to enhance their qualifications quickly.
Creative fields also intersect with materials science in areas such as design and innovation. Exploring an mfa online can provide valuable insights into the artistic and functional applications of materials, opening doors to careers in product design, art installations, and more.
For those seeking quicker credential boosts, 6 month certificate programs that pay well offer targeted skill-building in technologies and processes relevant to materials science, such as nanotechnology or quality assurance, providing immediate benefits to a career trajectory.
Additionally, a master's in instructional design may appeal to professionals interested in educational and training roles within the materials science industry, helping companies develop effective technical training programs and knowledge transfer solutions.
