Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering?

Journal of Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering aims to foster the development of research in Seismology, Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Geodesy and Ground motion. The concepts on Seismology presented in Journal of Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering can also apply to other research fields, including Motion (physics) and Geophysics. The majority of Geotechnical engineering studies are focused on the issues of Liquefaction.

  • Seismology (33.42%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (10.30%)
  • Structural engineering (10.18%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • STRONG-MOTION SEISMOGRAPH NETWORK OPERATED BY NIED: K-NET AND KiK-net (156 citations)
  • JMA EARTHQUAKE EARLY WARNING (80 citations)
  • OBSERVATION OF SEISMIC INTENSITY AND STRONG GROUND MOTION BY JAPAN METEOROLOGICAL AGENCY AND LOCAL GOVERMENTS IN JAPAN (50 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering:

The published papers facilitate discussions on Seismology, Geodesy, Earthquake engineering, Mitigation of seismic motion and Shear (geology). While Seismology is the focus of the published articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Estimation and Borehole. The journal publications focus on Geodesy but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Remote sensing which is concerned with Motion (geometry) and Spectral inversion.

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

  • Structural engineering
  • Civil engineering
  • Statistics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The concepts of Seismology, Liquefaction, Structural engineering, Geotechnical engineering and Estimation are tackled in the journal. Journal of Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering focuses on Seismology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Seismic response analysis and Holocene. The journal explores issues in Structural engineering which can be linked to other research areas like Base (topology) and Vibration.

Many of the research works in Geotechnical engineering, specifically Levee, closely connected to disciplines like Damages. The studies on Estimation discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Machine learning, Artificial intelligence and Warning system.

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, 28.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 25.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.00% of all publications and 10.00% 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.
