Overview

Top Research Topics at Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering?

The main points discussed in the journal deals with Applied mathematics, Basic reproduction number, Artificial intelligence, Stability (probability) and Epidemic model. The journal explores issues in Applied mathematics which can be linked to other research areas like Nonlinear system, Lyapunov function, Stability theory and Uniqueness. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Basic reproduction number, it also covered topics in Statistics, Outbreak and Transmission (mechanics).

Some problems in Artificial intelligence that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Machine learning, Computer vision and Pattern recognition. Discussions in Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering are anchored in the subject of Stability (probability) and the similar topic of Hopf bifurcation. The journal focuses on Hopf bifurcation research as part of the broader topic of Bifurcation.

  • Applied mathematics (13.75%)

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 Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Carlos Castillo-Chavez (26 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jianhong Wu (21 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Harvey Thomas Banks (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Yang Kuang (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Yasuhiro Takeuchi (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous 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 Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Arizona State University (79 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • North Carolina State University (31 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Xi'an Jiaotong University (27 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
  • Shanxi University (25 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • Harbin Institute of Technology (24 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 3 less 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, 19.37% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.87% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.36% of all publications and 73.74% 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.
