Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami?

Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami primarily focuses on research topics in Structural engineering, Seismology, Geotechnical engineering, Seismic analysis and Finite element method. The journal focuses on Structural engineering as well as the interrelated topic of Ductility. It connects research in Seismology with the related topic of Magnitude (mathematics).

The featured works in Liquefaction, Foundation (engineering) and Pile, which all belong in the domain if Geotechnical engineering, also overlaps with concepts under Centrifuge. Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami features Incremental Dynamic Analysis research that overlaps with concepts in Earthquake simulation.

  • Structural engineering (31.87%)
  • Seismology (28.95%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (22.38%)

  • REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGIES IN POST-DISASTER DAMAGE ASSESSMENT (61 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami:

The journal papers focus largely on the fields of Seismology, Structural engineering, Indian ocean, Fault (geology) and Sri lanka. The most cited papers focus on Seismology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Debris and Shore. The journal papers connects the study in Structural engineering with the closely related areas of Geotechnical engineering.

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

  • Structural engineering
  • Composite material
  • Statistics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Structural engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Seismology, Bridge (interpersonal) and Foundation (engineering) are the subjects of interest in the journal. Aside from research in Structural engineering, it also discusses Fragility studies. Aside from investigating topics in Liquefaction under Geotechnical engineering, the journal also explores concepts in Vertical motion.

In Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami, Range (biology) and Moment magnitude scale are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Seismology research. It explores issues in Bridge (interpersonal) which can be linked to other research areas like Mechanism (engineering), Hydrodynamic pressure and Near fault. The work on Foundation (engineering) tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Pile, Gravity (chemistry), Caisson and Half-space.

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, 5.71% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.03% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.27% of all publications and 48.48% 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.
