The primary areas of discussion in International Journal of Aerospace Engineering are Control theory, Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Structural engineering and Nonlinear system. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Control theory and the similar topic of Spacecraft. The Mechanics study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Combustor.
The research on Aerodynamics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Airfoil, Computational fluid dynamics and Wing. It emphasizes research on Structural engineering, which includes concerns such as Finite element method.
The published articles focus largely on the fields of Aerospace engineering, Aerodynamics, Structural engineering, Control theory and Artificial intelligence. While Aerospace engineering is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Launched and Earth remote sensing. While the journal papers focused on Control theory, they were also able to explore topics like Control engineering, Drag and Bounded function.
Control theory, Mechanics, Trajectory, Aerodynamics and Nonlinear system are the subjects of interest in the journal. The research on Control theory discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Spacecraft. While the primary focus in International Journal of Aerospace Engineering is Trajectory, it also dissects topics surrounding Orbit (dynamics) and Aerospace engineering, Satellite and Position (vector) as a whole.
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering explores issues in Aerodynamics which can be linked to other research areas like Airfoil, Gas compressor, Computational fluid dynamics and Rotor (electric). International Journal of Aerospace Engineering connects research in Nonlinear system with the related topic of Control system. Issues in Control theory were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Tracking (particle physics) and Computer simulation.
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 International Journal of Aerospace Engineering (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 International Journal of Aerospace Engineering (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, 14.20% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 61.87% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.19% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.63% of all publications and 22.30% 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.
