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 2022 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.

Application of Biometrics in Education

One interesting area that this article has not explored is the application of biometrics in the field of education. Biometrics has shown the potential to revolutionize the education sector in various ways, most notably in the area of attendance tracking and management. Traditionally, schools and colleges handle attendance manually, which can be time-consuming and susceptible to errors or manipulation. With the use of biometrics technology, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, schools can accurately and efficiently monitor attendance, ensuring that time is focused on educating students. Furthermore, biometric technology can be implemented to enhance the security in educational institutions. This can be manifested in terms of physical access where only authorized individuals such as students and staff can gain access to the premises. It can also extend to digital access where students can log in to their personal accounts or access digital educational resources securely. Many schools and educational institutions are acknowledging the benefits of such technology and seeking ways to implement it in their systems. However, it's important to understand the requirements and nuances of integrating biometrics in the education sector. Before diving into it, institutions need to comprehend laws and regulations around data privacy, as well as the technical demands of such a system. To gain an in-depth understanding of using biometric technology in an educational setting, it would be beneficial to research on the requirements and process. A great resource to look into might be "Requirements to become an english teacher in Oklahoma", where the adoption of technology in an educational institution is comprehensively discussed. By integrating biometrics into educational systems, the sector can benefit from enhanced efficiency and security bolstering the overall learning experience for students and teaching experience for educators. However, the move should be done with careful consideration to privacy laws and technical feasibility.
