The foci of the journal are Welding, Metallurgy, Composite material, Mechanical engineering and Gas metal arc welding. While Welding is the focus of Welding Journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Structural engineering and Manufacturing engineering. Heat-affected zone, Microstructure, Alloy, Filler metal and Gas tungsten arc welding are among the concentrations of Metallurgy that garnered much attention in it.
Welding Journal focuses on different Composite material studies like Ultimate tensile strength and Brazing. While work presented in Welding Journal provided substantial information on Gas metal arc welding, it also covered topics in Plasma arc welding and Shielding gas. Arc welding studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Submerged arc welding and Weld pool.
Welding Journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Electric resistance welding and Spot welding.
The journal articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Welding, Metallurgy, Composite material, Spot welding and Gas metal arc welding. The discussions in the journal publications emphasized the topic of Welding in an attempt to further explore the field of Mechanical engineering. The most cited articles connects research in Metallurgy with the related topics of Mechanics.
Welding Journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Metallurgy, Welding, Composite material, Gas metal arc welding and Marine engineering. It addresses concerns in the field of Metallurgy by exploring it in line with topics in Cracking which intersect with Austenite subjects. The journal aims to investigate interdisciplinary topics such as Welding and State of the art review.
Glass fiber, Hardened steel, Fiber laser welding, Ferrite (iron) and Ultimate tensile strength are all aspects of Composite material discussed in the journal. The research on Gas metal arc welding featured in it combines topics in other fields like Globular cluster, Welding process, Arc (geometry) and Silicate. While Welding Journal focused on Superalloy, it was also able to explore topics like Friction welding and Electrospark deposition.
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 Welding Journal (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 Welding Journal (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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
