Overview

Top Research Topics at Machining Science and Technology?

The objective of Machining Science and Technology is to combine knowledge in the areas of Machining, Mechanical engineering, Metallurgy, Composite material and Surface roughness. The journal is focused mainly on Machining, particularly Tool wear. The work on Mechanical engineering tackled in it brings together disciplines like Chip and Engineering drawing.

The study on Metallurgy presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Lubrication. It features Composite material research that overlaps with concepts in Electrical discharge machining. The study on Surface roughness presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Taguchi methods.

The studies on Structural engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Vibration and Edge (geometry). Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Grinding but it intersects with the subject of Diamond. Most of the Abrasive studies addressed also intersect with Polishing.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Machining Science and Technology was organized to reinforce research efforts on Machining, Composite material, Mechanical engineering, Metallurgy and Cutting force. The majority of Machining studies presented zero in on Tool wear. The concepts on Composite material presented in Machining Science and Technology can also apply to other research fields, including Nanofluid and Morphology (linguistics).

The study of Ultrasonic vibration and how it intertwines with concepts under Reduction (complexity) were explored in the presented Mechanical engineering research. Many of the research works in Metallurgy, specifically Residual stress, Machinability and Cermet, closely connected to disciplines like Field (physics) and Aerospace. In it, Reduction (mathematics), Vibration, Heat flux, Turbine and Surface roughness are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cutting force research.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.18% 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 15.15% of all publications and 63.64% 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.
