Overview

Top Research Topics at Mathematics and Computers in Simulation?

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation focuses largely on the fields of Mathematical analysis, Applied mathematics, Control theory, Nonlinear system and Mathematical optimization. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Mathematical analysis but it intersects with the subject of Finite element method. The research on Applied mathematics featured in Mathematics and Computers in Simulation combines topics in other fields like Convergence (routing) and Stability (probability).

  • Mathematical analysis (16.98%)
  • Applied mathematics (15.19%)
  • Control theory (11.62%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Global sensitivity indices for nonlinear mathematical models and their Monte Carlo estimates (2761 citations)
  • Review: Meshless methods: A review and computer implementation aspects (850 citations)
  • Pareto-optimality approach for flexible job-shop scheduling problems: hybridization of evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy logic (436 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mathematics and Computers in Simulation:

The journal publications investigate areas of study like Mathematical analysis, Control theory, Mathematical optimization, Applied mathematics and Nonlinear system. While work presented in the journal publications provide substantial information on Control theory, it also covers topics in Fuzzy logic, Synchronization of chaos, Chaotic and Stability (probability). The studies tackled in the most cited publications, which mainly focus on Mathematical optimization, apply to Algorithm as well.

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Applied mathematics, Nonlinear system, Control theory, Convergence (routing) and Stability (probability). The research on Applied mathematics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Lyapunov function, Weibull distribution, Interval (mathematics), Exponential function and Basic reproduction number. The concepts on Nonlinear system presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Partial differential equation, Mathematical analysis, Regularization (mathematics), Multi-agent system and Bernoulli distribution.

The journal explores issues in Mathematical analysis which can be linked to other research areas like CHAOS (operating system), Wavelet and Breather. Control theory research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Genetic algorithm, Set (abstract data type) and Independent and identically distributed random variables. Some problems in Convergence (routing) that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Fractional Brownian motion, Chaotic, Variational inequality, Algorithm and Monotonic function.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Honey Badger Algorithm: New metaheuristic algorithm for solving optimization problems (2 citations)
  • Chaotic hunger games search optimization algorithm for global optimization and engineering problems (1 citations)
  • Forecasting COVID-19 Chile’ second outbreak by a generalized SIR model with constant time delays and a fitted positivity rate (0 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 Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Michael McAleer (62 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • École Normale Supérieure (48 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 2022 edition, 4.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 4.17% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 4.17% of all publications and 87.50% 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.
