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, 13.64% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 52.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.26% of all publications and 36.84% 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.

Accounting Research in Economist Netherlands

The Economist Netherlands features a wide range of research topics in the field of economics. However, an area not sufficiently covered is Accounting Research. Even though Accounting is a integral part of economics, there aren't any significant papers or studies related to this matter. As the world of modern finance and business grows more complex, the role of accounting in guiding decisions and ensuring transparency becomes increasingly vital.

Accounting research can involve a wide range of topics from examining historical accounting methods to exploring high-level concepts of financial reporting or taxation. Specifically, research can delve into areas such as Forensic Accounting, International Accounting, accounting information systems or Environmental and Social Accounting.

Contributors can make use of the research methodologies applied in other fields of economics to study the complexities of accounting. This can result to new, insightful papers that can spark debates and encourage further research in the field. This would be an invaluable addition to Economist Netherlands as it will expand its scope and provide a more comprehensive view of the economics world to its readers. For aspiring economists who yearn for practical knowledge in this domain, this would be an opportunity to dive into the interesting aspects of accounting research.

Also, contributing to accounting research can provide practical benefits for students who are looking to get into the best accounting programs. For instance, accounting research helps students improve their analytical and critical thinking skills, which are crucial for success in any best accounting programs in Colorado.

Hence, further exploration of the field of accounting research in Economist Netherlands will be a beneficial move for the journal, its readers and contributors alike.
