Research areas of the most cited articles at international journal of energy and environmental engineering:

The journal papers aim to foster the development of research in Waste management, Renewable energy, Electricity generation, Environmental engineering and Wind power. The studies on Waste management discussed at the journal publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Biomass, Hydrogen production and Pulp and paper industry. The journal publications address concerns in Wind power which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Turbine, Wind speed, Weibull distribution and Simulation.

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

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Organic chemistry
  • Mechanical engineering

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

International journal of energy and environmental engineering is organized to address concerns in the fields of Electricity generation, Photovoltaic system, Wind power, Renewable energy and Mechanics. International journal of energy and environmental engineering facilitates discussions on Electricity generation that incorporate concepts from other fields like Waste management, Environmental economics and Process engineering. Research in Solar energy and the interrelating topic of Payback period and Electricity were among the subjects of interest in the Photovoltaic system studies discussed in the journal.

International journal of energy and environmental engineering addresses concerns in Wind power which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Turbine, Wind speed and Solar power. The journal focuses on Renewable energy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Energy consumption and Cost of electricity by source. The study on Mechanics presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Rotor (electric).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Synergising the thermal behaviour of water bodies within thermal environment of wetland settlements (4 citations)
  • Exergy and thermoeconomic analysis of the combined MED desalination system and the Allam power generation system (2 citations)
  • Simulation of the Allam cycle with carbon dioxide working fluid and comparison with Brayton cycle (2 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 energy and environmental engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Farivar Fazelpour (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Marc A. Rosen (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Napoleon Enteria (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Michele Messina (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Rosario Lanzafame (5 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 energy and environmental engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Islamic Azad University (17 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Catania (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Ontario Institute of Technology (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Covenant University (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Tehran (6 papers) absent 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, 17.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.08% of all publications and 66.20% 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.
