Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Algebra and Computation?

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Combinatorics, Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Algebra and Group (mathematics). The Combinatorics works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Free group and Order (group theory). While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Pure mathematics, it also covered topics in Structure (category theory) and Variety (universal algebra).

The concepts on Discrete mathematics presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Class (set theory) and Bounded function. More specifically, the research on Monoid in the journal is related to Free monoid. The majority of Free monoid studies in the journal are focused on the subject of Syntactic monoid.

Topics like Special classes of semigroups, Bicyclic semigroup and Cancellative semigroup are tackled as part of the discussions on Semigroup. In particular, the Special classes of semigroups works presented emphasize discussions on Krohn–Rhodes theory.

  • Combinatorics (37.83%)
  • Pure mathematics (32.91%)
  • Discrete mathematics (32.06%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • RELATIVELY HYPERBOLIC GROUPS (398 citations)
  • THE STRUCTURE OF RESIDUATED LATTICES (255 citations)
  • NONCOMMUTATIVE SYMMETRIC FUNCTIONS VI: FREE QUASI-SYMMETRIC FUNCTIONS AND RELATED ALGEBRAS (208 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Algebra and Computation:

The published articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Pure mathematics, Algebra and Semigroup. While Discrete mathematics is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Variety (universal algebra) and Group (mathematics). The most cited papers explore research in Combinatorics alongside concepts in Free group and other areas of study in Free product.

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

  • Algebra
  • Organic chemistry
  • Combinatorics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Prime (order theory) and Algebra over a field. The Pure mathematics study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Associative property. While Combinatorics is the focus of International Journal of Algebra and Computation, it also provided insights into the studies of Set (abstract data type) and Finite group.

The journal addresses concerns in Discrete mathematics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Automaton and Bounded function. Most of the Nilpotent studies addressed also intersect with Element (category theory). Most of the works presented in International Journal of Algebra and Computation deals with Graph but it intersects with the subject of Ideal (set theory).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Extending an established isomorphism between group rings and a subring of the n × n matrices (6 citations)
  • Restricted classes of veronese type ideals and algebras (3 citations)
  • Negative curvature in graph braid groups (3 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.

The top authors publishing in International Journal of Algebra and Computation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Benjamin Steinberg (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jorge Almeida (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Alexei Myasnikov (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Pedro V. Silva (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mark Sapir (15 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Algebra and Computation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Porto (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bar-Ilan University (39 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Vanderbilt University (36 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of California, Berkeley (35 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Paris (33 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

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, 12.20% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.89% of all publications and 66.67% 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.
