The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Composite material, Tribology, Lubrication, Metallurgy and Mechanics. In the Composite material research discussed, Lubricant, Coating, Composite number, Abrasive and Surface finish are all tackled. Most of the Surface finish studies addressed also intersect with Surface roughness.
Chemical engineering, Microstructure and Scanning electron microscope are some topics wherein Tribology research discussed in the journal have an impact. Topics like Alloy, Corrosion and Fretting are tackled as part of the discussions on Metallurgy. While it focused on Mechanics, it was also able to explore topics like Classical mechanics, Finite element method and Bearing (mechanical), Fluid bearing.
The journal connects the study in Bearing (mechanical) with the closely related area of Structural engineering.
The most cited publications mainly deal with areas of study such as Composite material, Tribology, Metallurgy, Lubrication and Lubricant. While the primary focus in the journal publications is Tribology, they also dissect topics surrounding Chemical engineering and Mineralogy as a whole. The published papers address concerns in Lubrication which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Mechanics and Optics.
The main points discussed in Tribology International deals with Composite material, Tribology, Lubricant, Lubrication and Mechanics. The journal explores issues in Tribology which can be linked to other research areas like Oxide, Coating and Chemical engineering, Carbon nanotube. The journal addresses concerns in Lubricant which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Argon, Inert, Carbon, Solver and Inert gas.
Tribology International explores issues in Lubrication which can be linked to other research areas like Diesel engine, Coupling (piping), Multibody system, Coupling and Bearing (mechanical). Tribology International tackles research in Fluid bearing as part of the general discipline of Bearing (mechanical), however, it also discusses concepts in Interface (computing). Some problems in Mechanics that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Work (thermodynamics), Equations of motion and Homogenization (chemistry).
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 Tribology International (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 Tribology International (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 2022 edition, 5.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.22% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.84% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.80% of all publications and 43.14% 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.

(2021)For those interested in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, exploring related online degrees can open new career pathways. Many students seek flexible options to balance their studies with personal commitments. For example, online courses for stay at home moms provide tailored programs that support learning without sacrificing family time.
Short-term certifications can also build skills quickly. If you’re looking to upskill efficiently, consider 4 6 week certification programs online that offer focused training suitable for busy schedules.
Cost is an important factor, and prospective students often search for affordable options. Many universities now offer a mechanical engineering online degree that combines quality education with reduced expenses compared to traditional programs.
Inclusive education is another key consideration. Many online colleges have policies welcoming diverse applicants, including those looking for online colleges that accept felons, creating more inclusive opportunities within engineering fields.
