Overview

Top Research Topics at Mechanics Research Communications?

Mechanics Research Communications is organized to address concerns in the fields of Mathematical analysis, Mechanics, Classical mechanics, Composite material and Structural engineering. Topics in Mathematical analysis were tackled in line with various other fields like Vibration, Isotropy, Geometry and Nonlinear system. Most of the works presented in it deals with Mechanics but it intersects with the subject of Thermodynamics.

The journal concentrates on Structural engineering topics that focus on Finite element method and Buckling.

  • Mathematical analysis (21.59%)
  • Mechanics (21.49%)
  • Classical mechanics (15.62%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • On frame indifferent formulation of the Maxwell-Cattaneo model of finite-speed heat conduction (548 citations)
  • An accurate, simple theory of the statics and dynamics of elastic plates (515 citations)
  • Classification of cracking mode in concrete by acoustic emission parameters (311 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mechanics Research Communications:

The most cited papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Mathematical analysis, Classical mechanics, Mechanics, Composite material and Structural engineering. In addition to Mathematical analysis research, the most cited papers aim to explore topics under Vibration, Geometry and Nonlinear system. The most cited publications focus on Mechanics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Finite element method and Thermodynamics.

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Composite material
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Mechanics Research Communications is to expand the discussion of research in Mechanics, Mathematical analysis, Composite material, Nonlinear system and Applied mathematics. In it, Work (thermodynamics), Radius, Finite element method, Bending and Compression (physics) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Mechanics research. Topics in Mathematical analysis explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Cantilever, Beam (structure) and Finite strain theory.

Mechanics Research Communications links adjacent topics like Composite material with Matrix (mathematics). In addition to Nonlinear system research, the journal aims to explore topics under Statistical physics, Buckling, Dissipation, Viscoelasticity and Discontinuous Galerkin method. Issues in Boundary value problem were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Vibration, Square (algebra) and Deflection (engineering).

  • Computational investigation of left ventricular hemodynamics following bioprosthetic aortic and mitral valve replacement. (7 citations)
  • Flexoelectric effects in second-order extension of rods (6 citations)
  • Modelling of residually stressed, extended and inflated cylinders with application to aneurysms (5 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 Mechanics Research Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Aleksey D. Drozdov (22 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Elias C. Aifantis (15 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 Mechanics Research Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (64 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Harbin Institute of Technology (45 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Shanghai Jiao Tong University (43 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Waterloo (41 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Polytechnic University of Turin (40 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, 10.89% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.56% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.11% of all publications and 76.67% 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.
