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, 10.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation.

Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 33.33% 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.

Relevance of Academic Research in Practical Application

While the International Journal of Managerial and Financial Accounting offers a rich repository of academic insights, researchers and practitioners might be keen to understand the practical implications of these findings. For instance, studies in Accounting, Corporate governance, and Finance have shed considerable light on real-world business applications, strategies, and policies. This area requires a bridge that links theoretical knowhow with pragmatic utilization in business and decision-making contexts. Clear understanding of this aspect can significantly enhance the application of academic research in solving complex business challenges and offering innovative solutions.

Many researchers focus on translating knowledge from their academic study into practical relevance. Seen in this light, research in Stock exchange incorporating Financial economics and Monetary economics is particularly valuable for professionals in the finance industry. Similarly, studies on Corporate governance overlapping with emerging markets and Corporate social responsibility offer valuable insights for policy makers and business leaders. The combination of Financial ratio and Financial analysis research can be instrumental for financial planning and investment decision-making.

Additionally, academic research can also contribute significantly to policy making within businesses and governments. For instance, insights gleaned from the exploration of Financial accounting topics in management could be useful in formulating Accounting management and International Financial Reporting Standards. The practical implications of such academic research could be further explored in dedicated business and management programs. For instance, in Nebraska, there is significant interest in advanced education in these areas. Those interested in business studies could consider the urban planning degree Nebraska.

In conclusion, the International Journal of Managerial and Financial Accounting plays a pivotal role in feeding into the practical implications and applications of fundamental and advanced academic research in these areas.
