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, 4.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.89% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.89% of all publications and 57.78% 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.

Career Paths in Digital Humanities Research

For those inspired by the diverse research topics covered in Digital Scholarship in the Humanities such as Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, and Natural Language Processing, choosing a career path in this exciting field may be of interest. One potential path is in the area of teaching and education. Professional roles in education offer individuals the chance to go beyond theoretical understanding and focus on practical applications of digital humanities research. One such role could be a Special Education Teacher, who utilizes methods and theories from the field of digital humanities to create comprehensive and inclusive teaching methods. Becoming a Special Education Teacher involves obtaining relevant educational degrees, gaining valuable experience, and obtaining licensure in the state where one aims to teach. For those seeking specific guidance, the article on {how to become a special education teacher in Maine} may be particularly useful. Aside from roles in education, further career options in digital humanities research may include Data Scientist, Data Analyst, and Researcher in Artificial Intelligence, all offering the opportunity to delve more deeply into the various research topics previously discussed. Seeking such a career path not only contributes to the development of these fields but also drives innovation and pushes the boundaries of knowledge.
