Overview

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Control?

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Control theory, Nonlinear system, Control theory, Control engineering and Applied mathematics. As a part of the journal, discussions in Control theory involve topics like Linear system, Lyapunov function, Observer (quantum physics), Robust control and Robustness (computer science). Nonlinear control is the primary subject of Nonlinear system works presented in the journal.

European Journal of Control features studies on Control theory, including topics such as Adaptive control. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Control engineering, it also covered topics in Control system and Control (management).

  • Control theory (58.95%)
  • Nonlinear system (17.39%)
  • Control theory (16.37%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Friction Models and Friction Compensation (1243 citations)
  • A-ECMS: An Adaptive Algorithm for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Energy Management (510 citations)
  • Analytical and Qualitative Model-based Fault Diagnosis – A Survey and Some New Results (448 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at European Journal of Control:

The journal articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Control theory, Nonlinear system, Control engineering, Control theory and Robust control. The journal publications explore research in Observer (quantum physics) and overlapping concepts in Fault detection and isolation and Fault (power engineering) to expand the discourse in Nonlinear system. The studies on Control theory discussed at the published papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Control (management) and Discrete time and continuous time.

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

  • Control theory
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Artificial intelligence

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

European Journal of Control facilitates discussions on Control theory, Nonlinear system, Control theory, Applied mathematics and Robustness (computer science). The journal connects research in Control theory with the related topic of Stability (probability). The featured Nonlinear system studies mainly concentrate on Stability (learning theory) but also cover areas of interest in Convergence (routing).

Topics in Control theory were tackled in line with various other fields like Compensation (engineering) and Multivariable calculus. Some problems in Applied mathematics that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Linear system, Discrete time and continuous time, State (functional analysis), Exponential stability and Bounded function. The study of Algorithm and how it intertwines with concepts under Kalman filter were explored in the presented Robustness (computer science) research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Hybrid data-driven fuzzy active disturbance rejection control for tower crane systems (39 citations)
  • Compositional Abstraction-based Synthesis for Continuous-Time Stochastic Hybrid Systems (16 citations)
  • Multivariate feature extraction based supervised machine learning for fault detection and diagnosis in photovoltaic systems (10 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 European Journal of Control (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Romeo Ortega (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Ioan Doré Landau (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Miroslav Krstic (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Pierdomenico Pepe (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Antonio Loria (8 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 European Journal of Control (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.

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, 3.85% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.00% of all publications and 66.00% 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.
