Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics?

Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics was organized to reinforce research efforts on Mathematical analysis, Applied mathematics, Numerical analysis, Mathematical optimization and Nonlinear system. Issues in Mathematical analysis were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Finite element method and Pure mathematics. The majority of Finite element method studies in the journal are focused on the subject of Mixed finite element method.

Orthogonal polynomials is a primary topic of Pure mathematics research in Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics. Gegenbauer polynomials and Hahn polynomials are all topics related to Orthogonal polynomials research discussed. It explores studies in Gegenbauer polynomials as part of the wider topic of Classical orthogonal polynomials.

It holds forums on Applied mathematics that merges themes from other disciplines such as Convergence (routing), Rate of convergence, Iterative method, Discretization and Calculus. Topics in Numerical analysis were tackled in line with various other fields like Algorithm and Geometry.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics:

The most cited papers investigate studies in Mathematical analysis, Numerical analysis, Applied mathematics, Differential equation and Mathematical optimization. Mathematical analysis study tackled in the journal papers is connected to the field of Nonlinear system. While the primary focus in the published papers is Numerical analysis, they also dissect topics surrounding Iterative method and Linear system as a whole.

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Statistics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of the journal are Applied mathematics, Convergence (routing), Mathematical analysis, Nonlinear system and Discretization. In addition to Applied mathematics research, it aims to explore topics under Finite element method, Stability (probability), Energy (signal processing), Rate of convergence and Numerical analysis. It deals with Convergence (routing) in conjunction with Polygon mesh and similar fields in Maximum principle.

In particular, the Mathematical analysis works presented emphasize discussions on Boundary value problem. Research in Algorithm and the interrelating topic of Cluster analysis and Linear system were among the subjects of interest in the Nonlinear system studies discussed in Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics. The studies in Discretization featured incorporate elements of Preconditioner and Laplace operator.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Learning multivariate functions with low-dimensional structures using polynomial bases (1 citations)
  • Hessian and increasing-Hessian orderings of scale-shape mixtures of multivariate skew-normal distributions and applications (1 citations)
  • Variational approach for rigid co-registration of optical/SAR satellite images in agricultural areas (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 Computational and Applied Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Adhemar Bultheel (63 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Lothar Reichel (60 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ting-Zhu Huang (44 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ioannis K. Argyros (42 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Francisco Marcellán (38 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 Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Ghent University (140 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Granada (136 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Polytechnic University of Valencia (134 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Zaragoza (134 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 2022 edition, 12.39% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.07% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.14% of all publications and 72.73% 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.
