Overview

Top Research Topics at Annals of Combinatorics?

Annals of Combinatorics was organized to reinforce research efforts on Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Conjecture, Partition (number theory) and Bijection. It links adjacent topics like Combinatorics with Type (model theory). In addition to Discrete mathematics research, it aims to explore topics under Simple (abstract algebra), Upper and lower bounds and Lattice (order).

The Matroid works, particularly on Graphic matroid are tackled in it.

  • Combinatorics (98.78%)
  • Discrete mathematics (47.73%)
  • Conjecture (8.18%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Connected Components in Random Graphs with Given Expected Degree Sequences (758 citations)
  • Laplacians and the Cheeger Inequality for Directed Graphs (459 citations)
  • Subtree transfer operations and their induced metrics on evolutionary trees (315 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Annals of Combinatorics:

The main points discussed in the published papers deal with Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Conjecture, Enumeration and Permutation. The most cited articles hold forums on Combinatorics that merge themes from other disciplines such as Simple (abstract algebra), Binary number and Generalization. The works on Conjecture tackled in the most cited articles bring together disciplines like Polynomial and Finite field.

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

  • Combinatorics
  • Algebra
  • Geometry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in Annals of Combinatorics mainly cover the fields of Combinatorics, Conjecture, Integer, Generalization and Partition (number theory). Combinatorics research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Plane (geometry) and Extension (predicate logic). The studies on Conjecture discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Ring (mathematics), Interval (graph theory), Bipartite graph and Basis (universal algebra).

While Integer is the focus of Annals of Combinatorics, it also provided insights into the studies of Dual (category theory), Lattice (discrete subgroup), Graph property, Upper and lower bounds and Multigraph. While Annals of Combinatorics focused on Generalization, it was also able to explore topics like Reciprocity (network science) and Link (geometry). Annals of Combinatorics addresses concerns in Partition (number theory) which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Differential (mathematics), Element (category theory), Commutative algebra and Monoid.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • On the number of principal ideals in d -tonal partition monoids (3 citations)
  • Schedules and the Delta Conjecture (3 citations)
  • Asymmetric List Sizes in Bipartite Graphs (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Annals of Combinatorics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Andreas W. M. Dress (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • George E. Andrews (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bart De Bruyn (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Toufik Mansour (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Doron Zeilberger (10 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Annals of Combinatorics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Pennsylvania State University (34 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Rutgers University (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of California (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Waterloo (21 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 13.16% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.06% of all publications and 75.76% 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.
