Swiss Journal of Geosciences facilitates discussions on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Seismology, Nappe and Tectonics. Cretaceous, Biostratigraphy, Sedimentary rock, Structural basin and Facies are among the concentrations of Paleontology that garnered much attention in Swiss Journal of Geosciences. The study on Facies presented in it intersects with the topics under Sedimentary depositional environment.
Discussions in Swiss Journal of Geosciences are anchored in the subject of Geochemistry and the similar topic of Basement (geology). Most of the works presented in it deals with Seismology but it intersects with the subject of Massif. The journal deals with Nappe in conjunction with Shear zone and similar fields in Petrology.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Tectonics, apply to Geomorphology as well. The Zircon study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Permian. The Metamorphism study featured in it draws connections with the study of Diagenesis.
The published papers explore disciplines such as Paleontology, Tectonics, Geochemistry, Seismology and Geomorphology. The journal publications explore topics in Geochemistry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Eclogite and Metamorphic facies. While the published articles focused on Seismology, they were also able to explore topics like Massif and Borehole.
The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Metamorphic rock, Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Basement (geology) and Petrology. Issues in Geochemistry were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Nappe and Organic geochemistry, Source rock. The journal addresses concerns in Metamorphism which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Ophiolite and Pillow lava.
The concepts on Basement (geology) presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Fold (geology), Shear zone, Syncline and Eclogite. The research on Petrology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Massif and Continental collision. The discussions emphasized the topic of Continental collision in an attempt to further explore the field of Tectonics.
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 Swiss Journal of Geosciences (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 Swiss Journal of Geosciences (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, 20.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 87.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.25% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
