Overview

Top Research Topics at Vibrational Spectroscopy?

Vibrational Spectroscopy mainly deals with areas of study such as Analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy, Infrared and Crystallography. The Analytical chemistry works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Spectral line, Fourier transform and Spectroscopy. Attenuated total reflection is a key component of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy research discussed in it.

Issues in Raman spectroscopy were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Inorganic chemistry, Molecular physics, Molecule and Density functional theory. It explores research in Inorganic chemistry and the adjacent study of Adsorption. In addition to Infrared spectroscopy research, it aims to explore topics under Physical chemistry, Photochemistry, Ab initio, Conformational isomerism and Computational chemistry.

It facilitates discussions on Crystallography that incorporate concepts from other fields like Phase transition, Stereochemistry and Hydrogen bond. The in-depth study on Hydrogen bond also explores topics in the intersecting field of Intermolecular force.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Vibrational Spectroscopy:

The journal articles investigate studies in Analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Spectroscopy. The journal publications focus on Analytical chemistry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Spectral line, Fourier transform, Infrared and Near-infrared spectroscopy. The most cited papers deal with Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with Crystallography and similar fields in Hydrogen bond.

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Oxygen

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Vibrational Spectroscopy focuses largely on the fields of Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy, Spectroscopy and Partial least squares regression. It explores the study of Raman spectroscopy to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Analytical chemistry. The studies in Analytical chemistry featured incorporate elements of Hydrogen bond and Aqueous solution.

Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Infrared spectroscopy and the similar topic of Infrared. Vibrational Spectroscopy explores research in Molecular vibration and overlapping concepts in Physical chemistry and Molecular physics to expand the discourse in Spectroscopy. While Partial least squares regression is the key highlight in it, it also covered some subjects on Principal component analysis and Near-infrared spectroscopy.

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, 8.43% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 2.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.26% of all publications and 86.84% 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.
