Overview

Top Research Topics at Bioenergy Research?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Biomass, Agronomy, Bioenergy, Biofuel and Pulp and paper industry. Topics in Biomass were tackled in line with various other fields like Raw material, Food science and Lignin, Botany. The studies on Food science discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Bagasse, Cellulose and Hydrolysis, Enzymatic hydrolysis.

The discussions emphasized the topic of Lignin in an attempt to further explore the field of Organic chemistry. Issues in Agronomy were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Plant ecology and Panicum virgatum. Many of the studies tackled connect Plant ecology with a similar field of study like Biomass (ecology).

The research on Bioenergy tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Agroforestry, Biogas and Crop. The research on Biofuel featured in it combines topics in other fields like Biodiesel, Cellulosic ethanol and Renewable energy. Bioenergy Research explores topics in Pulp and paper industry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Biorefinery and Anaerobic digestion.

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 Bioenergy Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Timothy A. Volk (22 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Robert B. Mitchell (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Michael D. Casler (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • DoKyoung Lee (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Douglas L. Karlen (14 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 Bioenergy Research (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 11.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.55% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.82% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.33% of all publications and 70.30% 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.
