Overview

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Industrial Engineering?

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Mathematical optimization, Operations research, Supply chain, Supply chain management and Operations management. Mathematical optimization research featured in European Journal of Industrial Engineering incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Scheduling (computing) and Job shop scheduling. The majority of Scheduling (computing) studies presented zero in on Single-machine scheduling.

The journal addresses concerns in Job shop scheduling which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Simulated annealing, Algorithm and Scheduling (production processes). The studies on Operations research discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Quality (business), Heuristic, Decision support system and Process (engineering). Quality (business) study tackled is connected to the field of Reliability engineering.

It explores issues in Supply chain which can be linked to other research areas like Microeconomics, Game theory and Industrial organization. Microeconomics research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Profit (economics).

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 2022 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.

Benefits of the Journal to Other Fields of Study

This journal is not limited to Industrial Engineering; it also furthers research and development in other related fields. For instance, the focus on operations research in the European Journal of Industrial Engineering provides valuable insight for business management and urban planning. Certain principles such as operational efficiency, data analysis, and optimization can be easily applicable in improving business processes or in enhancing city landscapes and infrastructure. The concept of mathematical optimization can be beneficial whether one seeks to maximize profits in a business or efficiently utilize public resources in urban planning. The emphasis on algorithm understanding and development is also crucial in the rapidly growing field of computer science, where effective algorithm utilization plays a key role. Furthermore, the Journal opens up avenues for interdisciplinary collaboration by highlighting shared research goals across various fields. This aids in finding more holistic and effective solutions to problems. The Journal can be specifically constructive for students pursuing related academic degrees such as an urban planning degree in Oregon, providing them with the necessary skills and a broader perspective on problem-solving. In conclusion, the European Journal of Industrial Engineering serves as not just a pool of knowledge for industrial engineers, but also a resourceful tool for professionals and scholars from a multitude of related disciplines.
