The discussions in HardwareX mainly cover the fields of Computer hardware, Open source, Software, Arduino and Microcontroller. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Computer hardware, it also covered topics in Syringe, Syringe driver, USB and Modular design. Open source hardware studies in the realm of Open source interact with fields like Autosampler.
The work on Software tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Simulation, Firmware and Electronics. The research on Arduino tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Real-time computing and Data logger. HardwareX features Microcontroller research that overlaps with concepts in Artificial intelligence.
The journal publications focus on Computer hardware, Open source hardware, Open source, Arduino and Modular design. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Computer hardware, it also covers topics in Sample (material), Laboratory automation and Scripting language. The journal papers tackle studies in Voltage and the interrelated subject of Python (programming language) to gain insights into Open source.
The main research concerns discussed in HardwareX are Open source, Computer hardware, Software, Process engineering and Modular design. Some problems in Open source that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Control system and Sample (material). The research on Computer hardware featured in HardwareX combines topics in other fields like Microfluidics, Arduino, Scalability and Adaptability.
Arduino research featured in HardwareX incorporates concerns from various other topics such as USB and Serial communication. In addition to Software research, the journal aims to explore topics under Human–computer interaction, Extrusion and Firmware. Process engineering research presented in HardwareX encompasses a variety of subjects, including Automation and Prusa i3.
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 HardwareX (based on the number of publications) are:
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 HardwareX (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.
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, 15.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.59% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.24% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.53% of all publications and 42.65% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Moreover, there is a vast amount of career opportunities for those interested in the aforementioned fields like Computer hardware, Open source, Software, Arduino, and Microcontroller. Many people continually aspire to expand their knowledge and expertise in these subjects but often have difficulty in finding a clear path. For instance, one career that is in demand with direct applicability is teaching. More specifically, middle school math teachers can apply their knowledge in these fields to instill math concepts in children and improve their quantitative reasoning skills. If you're in California and interested in converting this expertise into a teaching role, particularly for middle school math, your pathway might be easier than you think. Consider taking a look at how you can become a middle school math teacher in California. You also have a wide array of career options in the tech industry. Positions in development, systems analysis, and technology management are popular choices for those with a background in Computer hardware, Open source, and Software. In conclusion, having knowledge or gaining expertise in these areas doesn’t limit you to a specific role. The world is full of opportunities for those who are open to exploration and continuous learning. So expand your horizons, and who knows, you might find an unexpected career path that ignites your passion.
