China Ocean Engineering

Top Research Topics at China Ocean Engineering?

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Offshore geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Structural engineering, Marine engineering and Geotechnical engineering. It facilitates discussions on Offshore geotechnical engineering that incorporate concepts from other fields like Submarine pipeline, Mooring, Computer simulation, Nonlinear system and Numerical analysis. It focuses on Mechanics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Amplitude and Classical mechanics.

The work on Structural engineering presented in it focuses on Finite element method in particular. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Marine engineering and the similar topic of Turbine. It investigates Geotechnical engineering research which frequently intersects with Seabed.

Vortex-induced vibration is a key component of Vibration research discussed in China Ocean Engineering.

The studies on Mechanics discussed at the journal papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Amplitude and Classical mechanics.

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

• Quantum mechanics
• Mechanical engineering
• Composite material

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

China Ocean Engineering aims to foster the development of research in Offshore geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Marine engineering, Geotechnical engineering and Submarine pipeline. While Offshore geotechnical engineering is the focus of China Ocean Engineering, it also provided insights into the studies of Offshore wind power, Finite element method, Wave height, Turbulence and Computer simulation. The featured Finite element method study falls within the wider topic of Structural engineering.

In China Ocean Engineering, Scale (ratio) and Excitation are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Mechanics research. While the journal focused on Marine engineering, it was also able to explore topics like Wind power, Deck, Extreme value theory and Aerodynamics. The research on Geotechnical engineering tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Displacement (fluid), Bearing (mechanical) and Suction.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Maximum Entropy Distribution Function and Uncertainty Evaluation Criteria (2 citations)
• Very Large Eddy Simulation of Cavitation from Inception to Sheet/Cloud Regimes by A Multiscale Model (1 citations)
• Pore Pressure Accumulation of Anisotropically Consolidated Soft Clay Subjected to Complex Loads Under Different Stress Paths (1 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.

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, 1.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 75.93% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 3.70% of all publications and 16.67% 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.
