Overview

Top Research Topics at Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation?

Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation covers a variety of subjects, including Paleontology, Sedimentology, Structural geology, Historical geology and Geochemistry. The Paleontology study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Palynology. The research on Sedimentology featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Structural basin, Facies, Sedimentary rock, Genus and Stratigraphy.

While Structural geology is the focus of Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation, it also provided insights into the studies of Boreal, Cenozoic, Section (archaeology), Permian and Benthic zone. The studies on Historical geology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Oceanography, Fauna and Ecological succession. Archean, Zircon, Riphean, Geochronology and Precambrian are some of the study areas of Geochemistry discussed.

Research on Archean addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Proterozoic. The Biostratigraphy works featured in it incorporate elements from Ammonite, Dinocyst and Group (stratigraphy). In particular, the Cretaceous works presented emphasize discussions on Cenomanian.

  • Paleontology (75.59%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation:

The most cited articles investigate areas of study like Paleontology, Sedimentology, Structural geology, Historical geology and Riphean. Sedimentary rock, Palynology, Facies, Paleogene and Stratigraphy are some topics wherein Sedimentology research discussed in the published papers has an impact. The journal papers facilitate discussions on Structural geology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Crust, Sequence (geology) and Volcanic rock.

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of the journal are Paleontology, Sedimentology, Structural geology, Cretaceous and Biostratigraphy. Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation investigates Paleontology research which frequently intersects with Foraminifera. The studies in Sedimentology featured incorporate elements of Structural basin, Permian, Paleogene, Stage (stratigraphy) and Stratigraphy.

The main emphasis of the journal is the subject of Structural geology, focusing on Historical geology. The work on Cretaceous tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Floristics and Flora. Biostratigraphy research in Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation involves the investigation of Dinocyst studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Sequence (geology) and Garantiana.

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, 13.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 88.46% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 3.85% of all publications and 7.69% 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.
