Overview

Top Research Topics at Energy Engineering?

Energy Engineering tackles a plethora of topics, such as Waste management, Energy conservation, Operations management, Efficient energy use and Environmental engineering. In Energy Engineering, Combustion, Process engineering and Power station are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Waste management research. While Energy conservation is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Energy consumption and Energy (signal processing).

The concepts on Operations management presented in Energy Engineering can also apply to other research fields, including Environmental economics and Energy management.

  • Waste management (25.37%)
  • Energy conservation (11.12%)
  • Operations management (9.53%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Opportunities of Wireless Sensors and Controls for Building Operation (76 citations)
  • The Prospects of Alternatives to Vapor Compression Technology for Space Cooling and Food Refrigeration Applications (40 citations)
  • Thermal markets for controlling building environments (39 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Energy Engineering:

The published articles focus on Energy conservation, Energy consumption, Efficient energy use, Energy management and Operations management. The journal articles explore topics in Energy conservation which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Waste management, Compressed air, Automotive engineering, Simulation and Gas compressor. Aside from discussions in Waste management, the journal papers also deal with the subject of Chiller which intersects with Air conditioning and Environmental engineering disciplines.

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

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Thermodynamics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of Energy Engineering are Control theory, China, Mechanics, Environmental economics and Wind power. The Control theory study tackling the subject of Observer (quantum physics) is the focus of the journal. Energy Engineering focuses on China but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Energy consumption, Carbon and Natural resource economics.

Mechanics studies presented in it focus on topics such as Heat transfer and Flow (psychology). The journal connects the study in Environmental economics with the closely related area of Energy (signal processing).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Energy and Cost Analysis of Processing Flat Plate Solar Collectors (3 citations)
  • Development of Environmentally Friendly and Energy Efficient Refrigerants forRefrigeration Systems (2 citations)
  • Industrial and Small-Scale Biomass Dryers: An Overview (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Energy Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Wayne Turner (80 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Steven Parker (27 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • L. J. Grobler (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bhaskaran Gopalakrishnan (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Steve Doty (9 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Energy Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Zhejiang University (108 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Inner Mongolia University of Technology (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Oklahoma State University–Stillwater (12 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 98.96% 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 0.00% of all publications and 100.00% 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.
