Overview

Top Research Topics at Calcolo?

The topics of Numerical analysis, Theory of computation, Mathematical analysis, Applied mathematics and Humanities are the focal point of discussions in Calcolo. While Numerical analysis is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Finite element method, Nonlinear system and Discretization. It explores Finite element method concepts, specifically Mixed finite element method but expands to research in A priori and a posteriori.

The journal connects research in Mixed finite element method with the related topic of Extended finite element method. The studies on Theory of computation discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Pure mathematics, Mathematical optimization, Calculus and Algebra. Mathematical analysis research is concerned with Boundary value problem in particular.

The research on Applied mathematics featured in Calcolo combines topics in other fields like Iterative method, Linear system, Matrix (mathematics) and Rate of convergence.

  • Numerical analysis (55.21%)
  • Theory of computation (42.34%)
  • Mathematical analysis (31.35%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Programming language

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Calcolo investigates areas of study like Numerical analysis, Applied mathematics, Theory of computation, Finite element method and Matrix (mathematics). Calcolo covers Numerical analysis research under the subject of Mathematical analysis. The research on Applied mathematics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Discretization, Discontinuous Galerkin method and Hyperbolic partial differential equation, Nonlinear system.

The concepts on Theory of computation presented in Calcolo can also apply to other research fields, including Scheme (mathematics), Quadratic stability, Trigonometry and Lyapunov functional. The journal focuses on Finite element method but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Class (set theory), Piecewise, Dirichlet boundary condition and Product (mathematics). It explores issues in Matrix (mathematics) which can be linked to other research areas like Discrete mathematics, Linear subspace, Separable space, Lasso (statistics) and Variational inequality.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Analysis of the spectral symbol associated to discretization schemes of linear self-adjoint differential operators (3 citations)
  • Unified compact numerical quadrature formulas for Hadamard finite parts of singular integrals of periodic functions (3 citations)
  • Improved error estimates for Hybrid High-Order discretizations of Leray–Lions problems (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 Calcolo (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Giuseppe Mastroianni (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Dario Andrea Bini (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gabriel N. Gatica (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Francesco A. Costabile (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Jim Douglas (9 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 Calcolo (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Pisa (79 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Polytechnic University of Milan (36 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Genoa (31 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Turin (29 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Bari (27 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, 4.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.57% of all publications and 71.74% 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.
