Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of The Korean Statistical Society?

The scientific interests tackled in Journal of The Korean Statistical Society are Bayesian inference, Statistics, Applied mathematics, Estimator and Econometrics. The journal addresses concerns in Bayesian inference which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Nonparametric statistics, Covariate, Mathematical optimization, Autoregressive model and Algorithm. Topics like Asymptotic distribution, Quantile, Regression analysis, Empirical likelihood and Statistic are tackled as part of the discussions on Statistics.

Some problems in Applied mathematics that were presented in Journal of The Korean Statistical Society overlapped with concepts under Linear model and Linear regression. The research on Estimator featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Mean squared error and Parametric statistics.

  • Bayesian inference (61.63%)
  • Statistics (40.07%)
  • Applied mathematics (27.28%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • An extended Lindley distribution (115 citations)
  • Forecasting functional time series (111 citations)
  • A modeling approach for large spatial datasets (93 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of The Korean Statistical Society:

The most cited papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Bayesian inference, Statistics, Estimator, Mathematical optimization and Mathematical analysis. The journal papers facilitate discussions on Bayesian inference that incorporate concepts from other fields like Statistical hypothesis testing, Econometrics, Cluster analysis, Distribution (number theory) and Algorithm. Most of the works presented in the journal papers deal with Statistics but they intersect with the subject of Combinatorics.

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

  • Statistics
  • Normal distribution
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Bayesian inference, Statistics, Applied mathematics, Estimator and Econometrics. Research in Covariate and the interrelating topic of Missing data were among the subjects of interest in the Bayesian inference studies discussed in the journal. Confidence interval, Quantile, Empirical likelihood, Sample size determination and Multivariate statistics are all aspects of Statistics research featured in the journal.

While Applied mathematics is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Nonparametric statistics, Linear model, Linear regression and Consistency (statistics). The work on Nonparametric statistics tackled in it brings together disciplines like Smoothing, Statistical hypothesis testing and Parametric statistics. In addition to Estimator research, it aims to explore topics under Positive-definite matrix, Outlier, Maximum likelihood, Covariance matrix and Range (statistics).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Kullback–Leibler divergence for Bayesian nonparametric model checking (3 citations)
  • Robust confidence intervals for a proportion using ranked-set sampling (2 citations)
  • Empirical likelihood and variable selection for partially linear single-index EV models with missing censoring indicators (2 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 The Korean Statistical Society (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Yoon Tae Kim (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Dong Wan Shin (15 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Hyun Suk Park (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,

  • Hea-Jung Kim (10 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 The Korean Statistical Society (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Hallym University (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Konkuk University (17 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous 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, 4.76% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 43.75% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.75% of all publications and 40.00% 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.
