Overview

Top Research Topics at Mathematical Methods of Operations Research?

The discussions in Mathematical Methods of Operations Research mainly cover the fields of Mathematical optimization, Mathematical economics, Combinatorics, Applied mathematics and Discrete mathematics. In addition to Mathematical optimization research, it aims to explore topics under Markov decision process, Markov process and Markov chain. Mathematical Methods of Operations Research focused on Markov chain research but expanded to cover State space.

Studies on Mathematical economics discussed in the journal link to the field of Class (set theory). Time complexity is a major topic of Combinatorics research presented in it. Applied mathematics and Mathematical analysis are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal.

  • Mathematical optimization (43.82%)
  • Mathematical economics (14.56%)
  • Combinatorics (11.33%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Biconvex sets and optimization with biconvex functions: a survey and extensions (507 citations)
  • Steepest descent methods for multicriteria optimization (353 citations)
  • A review of multi-component maintenance models with economic dependence (350 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mathematical Methods of Operations Research:

The journal publications generally zeroe in on subjects such as Mathematical optimization, Mathematical economics, Optimization problem, Combinatorics and Mathematical analysis. The published articles facilitate discussions on Mathematical optimization that incorporate concepts from other fields like Portfolio optimization, Portfolio, Regular polygon, Algorithm and Scheduling (computing). While Combinatorics is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Discrete mathematics and Linear programming.

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

  • Statistics
  • Mathematical optimization
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The concepts of Mathematical optimization, Optimization problem, Convexity, Applied mathematics and Mathematical economics are tackled in Mathematical Methods of Operations Research. Mathematical Methods of Operations Research tackles research in Discrete search as part of the general discipline of Mathematical optimization, however, it also discusses concepts in Technological choice. While Optimization problem is the focus of Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, it also provided insights into the studies of Duality (optimization), Quadratic programming, Quadratic growth, Numerical range and Risk measure.

The close relationship between Combinatorics and Convex set is one of the points of interest dissected in Convexity research. Aside from discussions in Applied mathematics, it also deals with the subject of Convergence (routing) which intersects with Valuation (algebra), Asian option, Markov chain, Index set and Semi-infinite disciplines. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Mathematical economics, it also covered topics in Direct proof, Domain (mathematical analysis) and Regular polygon.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • On the computation of Whittle’s index for Markovian restless bandits (3 citations)
  • Minimizing spectral risk measures applied to Markov decision processes (2 citations)
  • Portfolio selection with drawdown constraint on consumption: a generalization model (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 Mathematical Methods of Operations Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Peter Borm (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Rolando Cavazos-Cadena (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Andrzej S. Nowak (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Stef Tijs (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ralf Korn (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 Mathematical Methods of Operations Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Tilburg University (46 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (31 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Wrocław University of Technology (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kaiserslautern University of Technology (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Twente (19 papers) absent at the last 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.34% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.24% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.34% of all publications and 62.07% 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.
