The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Geomorphology and Sedimentary depositional environment. Paleontology and Carbonate are closely related fields of research discussed in Sedimentary Geology. Topics in Carbonate explored in Sedimentary Geology were investigated in conjunction with research in Carbonate platform and Calcite.
The work on Sedimentary rock tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Sedimentary structures, Sedimentology and Siliciclastic. The presented research on Geochemistry deals specifically with Mineralogy but it also addresses topics in Quartz. Sedimentary Geology investigates Geomorphology research which frequently intersects with Quaternary.
Topics in Facies were tackled in line with various other fields like Outcrop, Marine transgression and Sea level. Sedimentary Geology focused on Structural basin research but expanded to cover Tectonics. The in-depth study on Sediment also explores topics in the intersecting field of Oceanography.
The journal articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Paleontology, Geomorphology, Sedimentary rock, Facies and Sedimentary depositional environment. The Paleontology research tackled in the most cited publications is interrelated with Carbonate which concerns subjects like Carbonate platform. The Geomorphology research presented in the journal articles focuses mostly on Geochemistry and, on occasion, topics in Mineralogy.
Sedimentary Geology focuses on Geochemistry, Sedimentary depositional environment, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock and Facies. It facilitates discussions on Geochemistry that incorporate concepts from other fields like Sediment and Carbonate. Concepts in Sedimentary structures, as well as related topics in Clastic rock, are covered in the Sediment research presented in it.
The studies on Sedimentary depositional environment discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Marine transgression, Fluvial and Evaporite. The study of Sedimentary rock encompasses disciplines such as Aeolian processes, as well as fields such as Proterozoic, all of which overlap with one another. Some problems in Facies that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Ordovician and Debris flow.
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 Sedimentary Geology (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 Sedimentary Geology (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, 7.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.20% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.37% of all publications and 55.10% 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.
