Data Analytics report
A bibliometric report on recent PPTI publication activity, journal distribution, citation visibility, open-access status, and research themes.
This report examines 552Source: Scopus publication snapshot distinct Scopus-indexed publications associated with 63Source: Scopus publication snapshot PPTI researchers during the 24Source: Scopus publication snapshot-month period from 1Source: Scopus publication snapshot August 2024 to 31Source: Scopus publication snapshot July 2026. The publications appeared in 313Source: Scopus publication snapshot journals and had received 2,314Source: Scopus publication snapshot citations at the time of data collection. The analysis considers publication activity, journal concentration, citation visibility, open-access status, and recurring author keywords to describe the institution's recent research profile. The results show a broad journal portfolio, with the ten most frequently used titles accounting for 20%Source: Scopus publication snapshot of publications. International Journal of Biological Macromolecules was the most frequently used journal, with 22Source: Scopus publication snapshot articles, while Biopolymer was the most prevalent normalized author keyword, appearing in 13Source: Scopus publication snapshot publications. Open-access articles represented 43%Source: Scopus publication snapshot of the portfolio. Journals below the established tier accounted for 77%Source: Scopus publication snapshot of publications, while developing and exploratory keywords accounted for 90%Source: Scopus publication snapshot of publication–keyword associations. Compared with the June 2026 edition, the rolling portfolio contained 11Source: Scopus publication snapshot fewer distinct publications; its cumulative citation total was 150Source: Scopus publication snapshot lower. Together, these findings provide an evidence base for understanding PPTI's publication patterns and for aligning future manuscripts with demonstrated areas of research activity and journal experience.

The report is based on Scopus publication records associated with PPTI researchers and dated between 1Source: Scopus publication snapshot August 2024 to 31Source: Scopus publication snapshot July 2026. The unit of analysis is a distinct Scopus-indexed publication rather than an author–publication record; consequently, a publication co-authored by more than one PPTI researcher is counted once in the portfolio totals. Citation values represent the cumulative Scopus counts available when the dataset was collected, and thematic analysis is based on normalized author keywords. Monthly commentary is generated by comparing the current metrics and rankings with the preceding saved edition under the same methodology. Journal and keyword frequencies therefore describe both the present portfolio and any material movement since the previous report.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules remained the leading journal, with 22Source: Scopus publication snapshot distinct publications, unchanged from the previous edition. The institution's output was distributed across 313Source: Scopus publication snapshot journals, and the ten most frequently used titles accounted for 20%Source: Scopus publication snapshot of the portfolio. The distribution demonstrates both repeated experience with a core group of outlets and substantial disciplinary breadth. Journal frequency is interpreted here as evidence of prior institutional presence and thematic alignment rather than as a measure of journal quality or future acceptance.

The developing and exploratory tiers contain 300Source: Scopus publication snapshot journals and account for 427Source: Scopus publication snapshot publications, or 77%Source: Scopus publication snapshot of the portfolio. The tier view therefore complements the leading-journal ranking by distinguishing repeated institutional experience from new and specialist outlet use. 5Source: Scopus publication snapshot new journals entered the rolling portfolio; 3 moved from exploratory to developing status; 0 moved into the established tier. Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery recorded the largest increase, gaining 1Source: Scopus publication snapshot publication to reach 3Source: Scopus publication snapshot.

The signal table examines the middle and lower publication tiers directly. It includes the forty strongest developing outlets by publication and citation evidence together with the twenty exploratory outlets showing the greatest current citation visibility. Movement records whether an outlet is new, stable, or changing relative to the preceding monthly edition. Citation evidence is interpreted within each tier so that a single highly cited article does not place an exploratory outlet on the same footing as a repeatedly used journal.

The journal map relates the number of distinct publications in each outlet to their cumulative citation totals. Journals positioned toward the upper right combine repeated PPTI publication activity with comparatively strong citation visibility. In contrast, a journal with high citation counts but few publications may reflect the influence of a small number of articles. The two measures are therefore presented as complementary dimensions of the portfolio: frequency indicates the extent of recent use, whereas citations indicate the visibility accumulated by the articles published in that outlet.

Emerging thematic signals are defined in this report as normalized keywords associated with three to seven distinct publications and at least ten citation-weighted mentions. These themes have a smaller publication base than the established topics shown above but have already achieved measurable citation visibility. No normalized keyword increased by two or more publications relative to the preceding edition, indicating a broadly stable thematic profile. The table records their publication frequency, citation-weighted mentions, citations per publication, journal reach, and most closely associated journals.
Loads Scopus-derived publication records within the last 24 completed months. The report builder deduplicates articles by Scopus link and compares the current edition with the preceding monthly snapshot when available.
