Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Quantum Information?

The foci of International Journal of Quantum Information are Quantum mechanics, Quantum entanglement, Quantum, Qubit and Quantum information. Quantum mechanics studies presented include W state, Quantum channel, Quantum network, Quantum discord and Multipartite entanglement. Topics in Quantum network explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Quantum cryptography, Quantum technology and Quantum error correction.

Research in Quantum error correction tackled falls within the umbrella of Quantum algorithm. While Quantum algorithm is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Quantum computer and Quantum operation. The research on Quantum entanglement tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Photon and Quantum decoherence.

It addresses concerns in Quantum which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Theoretical physics, Statistical physics and Theoretical computer science. The tackled Qubit research is interrelated with Topology which concerns subjects like Quantum key distribution. The study of Open quantum system and how it intertwines with concepts under Quantum process were explored in the presented Quantum information research.

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, 12.12% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.45% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.90% of all publications and 65.52% 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.
