Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research?

The discussions in Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research mainly cover the fields of Hydrology, Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Environmental engineering and Flow (psychology). Hydrology research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Estuary and Sediment transport. In particular, the Geotechnical engineering works presented emphasize discussions on Hydraulic structure.

In the Mechanics research discussed, Turbulence, Computational fluid dynamics and Open-channel flow are all tackled. The in-depth study on Computational fluid dynamics also explores topics in the intersecting field of Marine engineering. The featured Environmental engineering research zeroes in on concepts in Outfall but also tackles themes under Desalination.

  • Hydrology (25.13%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (17.28%)
  • Mechanics (12.04%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Application of new mass transfer formulae for computation of evapotranspiration (97 citations)
  • Estimation of design runoff curve numbers for Narmada watersheds (India) (23 citations)
  • Short-term management of hydropower assets of the Federal Columbia River Power System (22 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research:

The published papers investigate studies in Hydrology, Meteorology, Water quality, Environmental engineering and Geotechnical engineering. The journal articles facilitate discussions on Hydrology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Operations research, Hydropower, Renewable energy and Flexibility (engineering). While Meteorology is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Jet (fluid) and Computational fluid dynamics.

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

  • Mechanics
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Hydrology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research mainly deals with areas of study such as Water resource management, Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Flood myth and Hydrology. The close relationship between Structural basin and Water scarcity is one of the points of interest dissected in Water resource management research. The concepts on Geotechnical engineering presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Throughflow and Suction.

The journal explores Mechanics concepts, specifically Jet (fluid) and Flow (psychology) but expands to research in Jump, Time evolution and Energy loss. The journal facilitates discussions on Flood myth that incorporate concepts from other fields like Terrain and Flooding (psychology). The study on Hydrology presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Nile basin.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The laboratory study of energy dissipation in inclined drops equipped with a screen (7 citations)
  • Techno-economic comparison of three different types of powering systems (1 citations)
  • Time evolution of the scour induced by a ski jump jet (1 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 Journal of Applied Water Engineering and Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Tobias Bleninger (4 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • Islamic Azad University (5 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • United States Army Corps of Engineers (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Federal University of Paraná (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Asian Institute of Technology (4 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, 15.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.65% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.53% of all publications and 47.06% 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.
