Computers & Operations Research investigates areas of study like Mathematical optimization, Algorithm, Operations research, Scheduling (computing) and Heuristic. The research on Mathematical optimization tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Set (abstract data type) and Job shop scheduling. The study on Job shop scheduling featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Flow shop scheduling in particular.
The study on Algorithm presented in Computers & Operations Research intersects with subjects under the field of Genetic algorithm. Topics in Scheduling (computing) explored in Computers & Operations Research were investigated in conjunction with research in Scheduling (production processes), Schedule and Upper and lower bounds. The Metaheuristic study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Local search (optimization).
The journal articles explore disciplines such as Mathematical optimization, Algorithm, Operations research, Scheduling (computing) and Heuristics. Issues in Mathematical optimization were discussed in the published articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Vehicle routing problem and Job shop scheduling. The most cited publications with studies in Scheduling (computing) featured incorporate elements of Scheduling (production processes) and Schedule.
The journal mainly tackles studies in Mathematical optimization, Operations research, Integer programming, Heuristic (computer science) and Routing (electronic design automation). Specifically, studies on Column generation are prevalent in the Mathematical optimization works discussed. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Operations research, it also covered topics in Robust optimization, Health care, Upstream (petroleum industry), Workload and Programming paradigm.
Inventory management, Finite set, Line (geometry), Nonlinear system and Selection (relational algebra) are some topics wherein Integer programming research discussed in the journal have an impact. In it, Motion planning, Inventory routing problem, Job scheduler, Branch and price and Combinatorial optimization are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Heuristic (computer science) research. Computers & Operations Research explores issues in Routing (electronic design automation) which can be linked to other research areas like Block (data storage), Open problem, Server and Service (systems architecture).
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 Computers & Operations Research (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 Computers & Operations 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.
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 2022 edition, 14.63% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.57% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.57% of all publications and 74.29% 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.
