Scope

The decision for editing and printing of the current journal was taken on Balkantrib'93, Sofia, October, 1993 during the Round Table discussion of the representatives of the Balkan countries: Bulgaria. Greece, Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Turkey and Yugoslavia. The Journal of the Balkan Tribological Assosiation is dedicated to the fundamental and technological research of the third principle in nature - the contacts. The journal will act as international focus for contacts between the specialists working in fundamental and practical areas of tribology. The main topics and examples of the scientific areas of interest to the Journal are: overall tribology; tribotechnics and tribomechanics; friction, lubrication, abrasive wear, boundary lubrication, adhesion, cavitation, corrosion, computer simulation, vibration phenomena, mechanical contacts in gaseous, liquid and solid phase, technological tribological processes, coatings, etc.; tribochemistry - defects in solid bodies, tribochemical emissions, triboluminescence, tribochemiluminescence, technological tribochemistry; composite materials, polymeric materials in mechanics and tribology; special materials in military and space technologies, etc.; kinetics, thermodynamics and mechanism of tribochemical processes; biotribology - biological tribology, tribophysiotherapy, tribological wear, biological tribotechnology, etc.; lubrication - solid, semi-liquid lubricants, additives for oils and lubricants, surface phenomena. wear in the presence of lubricants; lubricity of fuels; ecological tribology; the role of tribology in the sustainable development of technology: management and organisation of the production; machinery breakdown; oil monitoring; European legislation in the field of tribotechnics and lubricating oils; educational problems in tribology, lubricating oils and fuels.
Quartiles

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
