Filomat

Top Research Topics at Filomat?

The aim of Filomat is to expand the discussion of research in Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Combinatorics and Applied mathematics. It explores issues in Pure mathematics which can be linked to other research areas like Space (mathematics), Class (set theory) and Type (model theory). The journal connects research in Discrete mathematics with the related topic of Fixed point.

Boundary value problem is a primary topic of Mathematical analysis research in Filomat. The majority of Combinatorics studies in it are focused on the subject of Graph.

• Pure mathematics (34.22%)
• Discrete mathematics (21.73%)
• Mathematical analysis (18.73%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

• Strong Intuitionistic Fuzzy Graphs (135 citations)
• A New Approach to the Study of Fixed Point Theory for Simulation Functions (121 citations)
• An effective approach for evaluation of the optimal convergence control parameter in the homotopy analysis method (107 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Filomat:

The journal papers are organized to reinforce research efforts on Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Combinatorics and Fixed point. While the journal papers focused on Pure mathematics, they were also able to explore topics like Function (mathematics), Class (set theory), Type (model theory) and Statistical convergence. The most cited publications explore research in Discrete mathematics alongside concepts in Generalization and other areas of study in Inequality.

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

• Mathematical analysis
• Statistics
• Algebra

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in Filomat mainly cover the fields of Pure mathematics, Applied mathematics, Algebra, Mathematical analysis and Mathematical physics. Some problems in Pure mathematics that were presented in Filomat overlapped with concepts under Core (graph theory) and Product (mathematics). The research on Applied mathematics presented in the journal often intersects with areas of study such as

• Nonlinear system which is related to area like Reaction–diffusion system,
• Inverse together with Norm (mathematics)..

Topics in Algebra explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Frame (networking) and Fuzzy automata. Filomat holds forums on Mathematical analysis that merges themes from other disciplines such as Viscosity (programming) and Composition (combinatorics). While Mathematical physics is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Spectral line and Perturbation (astronomy).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Fractional-order iterative learning control for robotic Arm-PD2Dα type (1 citations)
• Almost convergence of complex uncertain double sequences (1 citations)
• On the approximations of solutions to stochastic differential equations under polynomial condition (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.

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, 8.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.35% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.04% of all publications and 52.17% 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.
