Bioinspiration & Biomimetics mainly deals with areas of study such as Robot, Control theory, Artificial intelligence, Mechanics and Wing. While Robot is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Control engineering, Simulation and Actuator. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Actuator but it intersects with the subject of Mechanical engineering.
The Control theory research dealing mostly with Control theory is the focus of the journal. Presentations on Artificial intelligence include those discussing Robotics and Biomimetics. Vortex, Reynolds number, Drag and Wake are all aspects of Mechanics research featured in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics.
Wing research featured in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Aerodynamic force and Aerodynamics. The work on Flapping tackled in it brings together disciplines like Kinematics and Lift (force). Aside from discussions in Kinematics, the journal also deals with the subject of Thrust which intersects with Propulsion disciplines.
The published papers cover a variety of subjects, including Robot, Control theory, Artificial intelligence, Simulation and Wing. The works on Control theory tackled in the most cited publications bring together disciplines like Kinematics and Angle of attack. The journal articles feature works in Artificial intelligence, more specifically Robotics and Biomimetics, and explore their relation to disciplines like Implementation.
Robot, Kinematics, Mechanics, Control theory and Flapping are the subjects of interest in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics. Research in Robot tackled falls within the umbrella of Artificial intelligence. The Artificial intelligence works, particularly on Robotics are tackled in it.
It explores topics in Control theory which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Gait (human) and Bipedalism. While the primary focus in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics is Flapping, it also dissects topics surrounding Thrust and Fin and Flow (psychology) as a whole. The concepts on Actuator presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Control engineering and Mechanical engineering.
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 Bioinspiration & Biomimetics (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Bioinspiration & Biomimetics (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.
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, 0.72% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.87% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.60% of all publications and 54.74% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in studying Computer Science in the USA, exploring online degree options can provide flexibility and accessibility. Many students benefit from a self paced online degree, allowing them to balance education with work or personal commitments at their own speed.
Cost is also a crucial consideration. Fortunately, several programs stand out for their value, as highlighted by the list of affordable graduate school options, enabling students to pursue advanced degrees without excessive financial burden.
For those starting out or seeking quicker entry into the tech field, pursuing an associate's degree is often a practical route. Resources such as the guide on the easiest associate's degree to get can help identify programs that offer a streamlined path with promising outcomes.
Choosing the right institution is essential for quality and recognition. Many reputable programs are offered through online schools that are nationally accredited, ensuring students receive education that meets rigorous standards and is respected by employers.
