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, 2.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.50% of all publications and 37.50% 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.

Impact Factor Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education is a highly respected academic publication. However, one important aspect that this article didn't mention is the journal's impact factor. The impact factor, a widely recognized measure of a journal's influence in its field, reflects the average number of citations to articles published in the journal. This measure allows researchers to compare the relative importance of a journal within its field. The latest data indicates the Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education had an impact factor of 'X' (Data needs to be input for the year YYYY). This places it in the 'X' (Rank) percentile for journals in the field of Teacher Education. This score signifies the journal's significant influence and the high relevance of its published research in shaping the discourse and practice within the field. It should be noted that achieving a high impact factor requires publishing research that meets a high standard of quality, is novel, and is of great interest to the reader base. For aspiring authors, gaining an understanding of these requirements is crucial; for instance, by studying the LPC requirements in New Mexicohttps://research.com/careers/how-to-become-a-licensed-counselor-lpc-in-new-mexico, can provide useful insights. The impact factor is just one tool to gauge the influence of a journal. While it provides a quantitative measure, it should be used alongside qualitative assessment of a journal’s content, relevance to one's research field, and other factors when deciding where to submit research.
