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 Information Processing (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Hiroaki Kikuchi (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Erik D. Demaine (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Tsutomu Matsumoto (12 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Sadao Kurohashi (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Tsutomu Terada (11 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 Information Processing (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 4.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.28% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 18.06% 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.

Application of Research Topics in Real World Scenarios

This journal somewhat lacks real-world applications of the research topics it discusses. Providing this context could significantly attract more readers and impact, drawing those who are interested in the practical implication of the research. For example, educational professionals and enthusiasts who employ artificial intelligence techniques in their educational programs and materials might find this information useful. The specific application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, for instance, can be considerable in transforming the way of teaching and learning process in various fields such as art. For instance, NLP can be employed to develop complex educational models that can streamline individualized learning for students in different art fields such as elementary art education. These models can analyze and process the linguistic patterns, understanding, and preferences of individual students to customize art lessons in a more engaging, interactive, and productive manner. The sophistication of these learning tools and models can vary significantly depending on the proficiency and experience of the art teacher designing and utilizing them. To get a better understanding of the teaching profession, particularly in the area of art education, you might find insights from articles on how to become an elementary art teacher in New York helpful. Thus, by examining practical applications of these advanced techniques, we could broaden our knowledge and encourage novel approaches to address challenges in the practical field, thereby attracting a wider set of readers who are interested in such knowledge applications.
