Structural engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Induced seismicity, Earthquake engineering and Seismic analysis are the main subjects of interest in the published papers. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Structural engineering, it also covers topics in Vibration and Nonlinear system. Issues in Geotechnical engineering were discussed in the published articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Shear (geology) and Soil structure interaction.

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

• Structural engineering
• Composite material
• Mechanical engineering

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Structural engineering, Finite element method, Geotechnical engineering, Seismic analysis and Vibration. The studies in Structural engineering featured incorporate elements of Displacement (vector), Acceleration and Nonlinear system. Some problems in Nonlinear system that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Earthquake engineering, Structural system and Statistical physics.

The journal explores issues in Geotechnical engineering which can be linked to other research areas like Soil water and Displacement (fluid). It holds forums on Seismic analysis that merges themes from other disciplines such as Bridge (interpersonal), Rc frames, Reinforced concrete, Seismic loading and Ductility. The work on Vibration tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Structure (category theory), Computer simulation, Track (rail transport) and Wavenumber.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Practical seismic resilience evaluation and crisis management planning through GIS-based vulnerability assessment of buildings (6 citations)
• Numerical and test study on vertical vibration characteristics of pile group in slope soil topography (4 citations)
• Normalized residual displacement spectra for post-mainshock assessment of structures subjected to aftershocks (3 citations)

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, 16.42% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.93% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.64% of all publications and 33.93% 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.
