The journal investigates areas of study like Nanotechnology, Chemical engineering, Polymer, Chemical physics and Polymer chemistry. The studies on Nanotechnology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Biophysics and Membrane. While it focused on Chemical engineering, it was also able to explore topics like Organic chemistry, Aqueous solution and Micelle.
The presentations focused mostly on Polymer in an attempt to further explore topics in Composite material. The research on Chemical physics featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Particle, Molecular dynamics, Crystallography, Phase (matter) and Colloid. Crystallography study tackled is connected to the field of Molecule.
The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Phase (matter) as it also encompasses Liquid crystal. Liquid crystal studies tackled cover an aspect of the field of Condensed matter physics. Topics in Polymer chemistry were tackled in line with various other fields like Copolymer and Polymerization.
The most cited papers focus largely on the fields of Nanotechnology, Chemical engineering, Polymer, Polymer chemistry and Chemical physics. The journal articles explore research in Rheology and overlapping concepts in Viscoelasticity to expand the discourse in Nanotechnology. Crystallography and Colloid are some topics wherein Chemical physics research discussed in the journal articles has an impact.
The aim of Soft Matter is to expand the discussion of research in Chemical engineering, Chemical physics, Polymer, Mechanics and Particle. It holds forums on Chemical engineering that merges themes from other disciplines such as Copolymer, Adsorption and Aqueous solution. In Soft Matter, Colloid, Phase transition, Phase (matter) and Molecular dynamics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Chemical physics research.
The journal connects research in Phase (matter) with the related topic of Liquid crystal. The journal covers Polymer research under the subject of Composite material. The tackled Mechanics research is interrelated with Rheology which concerns subjects like Viscoelasticity.
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 Soft Matter (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 Soft Matter (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, 3.46% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.13% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.79% of all publications and 64.80% 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.

(2021)Studying Chemistry in the USA opens doors to diverse career pathways, especially within the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. For students interested in diagnostics and patient care, exploring radiology tech programs online can be a smart step. These programs provide specialized training that complements chemical knowledge with practical medical imaging skills.
Those looking to enter the allied health workforce might consider online medical assistant programs fafsa approved. These accredited courses offer financial aid options and prepare graduates for vital clinical support roles where understanding chemical interactions is important.
For advanced nursing professionals, transitioning from an MSN to a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is achievable through msn to dnp programs that offer flexible online formats often without clinical requirements. This pathway can expand leadership roles in healthcare, leveraging a strong foundation in sciences like chemistry.
Additionally, students drawn to pharmaceutical sciences can pursue an online pharm d degree. This advanced credential is essential for clinical pharmacy careers, pharmaceutical research, and healthcare innovation, making it a valuable complement to a chemistry background.
