Overview

Top Research Topics at Extremes?

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Extreme value theory, Statistics, Combinatorics, Applied mathematics and Estimator. It holds forums on Extreme value theory that merges themes from other disciplines such as Bivariate analysis, Multivariate statistics, Tail dependence and Econometrics. Extremes centers on topics in Econometrics, with a focus on Copula (probability theory).

It investigates Statistics research which frequently intersects with Series (mathematics). Topics in Combinatorics explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Limit (mathematics), Distribution (mathematics) and Random variable. The Limit (mathematics) research presented falls under the domain of Mathematical analysis.

While Random variable is the focus of Extremes, it also provided insights into the studies of Discrete mathematics and Sequence. Research on Applied mathematics addressed in Extremes frequently intersections with the field of Mathematical optimization. The concepts on Estimator presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Sample (statistics) and Order statistic.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Extremes:

The journal papers are organized to address concerns in the fields of Extreme value theory, Statistics, Estimator, Combinatorics and Applied mathematics. In addition to Extreme value theory research, the published articles aim to explore topics under Quantile, Econometrics, Joint probability distribution, Multivariate statistics and Statistical model. The most cited articles address concerns in Combinatorics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Measure (mathematics), Distribution (mathematics), Fractional Brownian motion and Random variable.

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

  • Statistics
  • Normal distribution
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses on Extreme value theory, Econometrics, Applied mathematics, Combinatorics and Distribution (mathematics). In it, Pure mathematics, Inference, Estimator, Asymptotic distribution and Algorithm are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Extreme value theory research. The journal facilitates discussions on Estimator that incorporate concepts from other fields like Range (statistics) and Random variable.

The featured Econometrics works encompass concepts such as Quantile and Stochastic volatility and examines them in conjunction with Hydrogeology and Pandemic. Extremes served as a forum through which researchers explored different topics like Applied mathematics and Maxima. The presented Combinatorics study covers related areas such as Branching process and also touches on topics like Branching (linguistics).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Editorial: EVA 2019 data competition on spatio-temporal prediction of Red Sea surface temperature extremes (10 citations)
  • Bayesian space-time gap filling for inference on extreme hot-spots: an application to Red Sea surface temperatures (6 citations)
  • Parametric models for distributions when interest is in extremes with an application to daily temperature (6 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 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, 11.36% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.51% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 35.90% of all publications and 33.33% 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.
