A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis for Category "Thermodynamics" within SCI-E - Part 6: Analysis of EF and AI

Abstract:

Category "Thermodynamics" was established in 1993 within SCI-E, starting with 25 journals, with only 55 journals in 2014, which is an increase of more than two times for the period observed. It is ranged as a category within SCI-E in 2014 according to number of journals on 100 position, from total 176 categories. This paper presents Part 6 of article series of comprehensive bibliometric analysis for category "Thermodynamics" within SCI-E, in which bibliometric indicators are analyzed: Eigenfactor (EF) and Article Influence (AI) for this category for the period 2007-2014. This analysis shows that journals: Energy and International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer have by far the highest EF and Progress in Energy and Combustion Science has the highest AI in this category and this period.Abbreviations:
