Computers & Structures mostly deals with topics like Finite element method, Structural engineering, Mathematical analysis, Nonlinear system and Geometry. Topics in Finite element method explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Algorithm, Mechanics and Numerical analysis. Computers & Structures focuses on Algorithm research which is adjacent to topics in Mathematical optimization.
Some problems in Structural engineering that were presented in Computers & Structures overlapped with concepts under Vibration and Stress (mechanics). The work on Mathematical analysis tackled in Computers & Structures brings together disciplines like Stiffness matrix and Displacement (vector), Classical mechanics. The journal features Nonlinear system research that overlaps with concepts in Applied mathematics.
Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Geometry and the similar topic of Shell (structure). The Mixed finite element method study tackling the subject of Finite element limit analysis is the focus of Computers & Structures.
The published papers aim to foster the development of research in Finite element method, Structural engineering, Mathematical analysis, Mathematical optimization and Nonlinear system. In addition to Finite element method research, the journal articles aim to explore topics under Mechanics, Geometry and Composite material. While Structural engineering is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Vibration and Stress (mechanics).
The journal aims to foster the development of research in Mechanics, Structural engineering, Stress (mechanics), Finite element method and Parametric statistics. While Structural engineering is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Frame (networking), Fail-safe, Normal mode, Optimization problem and Degradation (telecommunications). The journal focuses on Stress (mechanics) but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Upper and lower bounds which is concerned with Numerical analysis.
The studies in Finite element method featured incorporate elements of Discontinuity (linguistics), Eigenvalues and eigenvectors and Buckling. It holds forums on Parametric statistics that merges themes from other disciplines such as Ranking, Probabilistic logic, Optimal design and Mutation rate. Mathematical analysis research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Shell (structure) and Partition of unity.
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 & Structures (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 & Structures (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, 0.00% 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 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 44.44% of all publications and 55.56% 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.
