New Astronomy

Top Research Topics at New Astronomy?

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Light curve and Galaxy. In addition to Astrophysics research, it aims to explore topics under Spectral line and Binary system. Studies on Spectral line discussed in the journal link to the field of Line (formation).

The journal covers various topics on Astronomy such as Observatory, Open cluster, Luminosity, Binary star and Telescope. While New Astronomy focused on Light curve, it was also able to explore topics like Amplitude, Mass ratio, Radial velocity and Ephemeris. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Galaxy but it intersects with the subject of Dark matter.

Research areas of the most cited articles at New Astronomy:

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Stars and Dark matter are the main subjects of interest in the journal articles. The published papers aim to address concerns in Astrophysics, specifically in the areas of Supernova, Black hole, Gamma-ray burst, Galaxy cluster and Star formation. The studies on Dark matter discussed at the most cited publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Cosmology and Strong gravitational lensing, Weak gravitational lensing.

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

• Quantum mechanics
• Astronomy
• Electron

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of New Astronomy are Astrophysics, Orbital period, Light curve, Pulsar and Amplitude. The research on Astrophysics featured in New Astronomy combines topics in other fields like Radius and Maxima and minima. It explores topics in Orbital period which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Binary system and Brown dwarf.

It facilitates discussions on Light curve that incorporate concepts from other fields like Exoplanet, Jupiter, Transit (astronomy), Photometry (optics) and Scale height. While Pulsar is the focus of New Astronomy, it also provided insights into the studies of Deconvolution, Bayesian information criterion, Mixture model, Diagram and Population based. Issues in Amplitude were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Phase transition, Phase (waves), Superfluidity, Neutron and Glitch.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Inflation in mimetic $f(R,T)$ gravity (1 citations)
• Analysis of resonant curves and phase portrait in the earth–moon system by using its unperturbed solution and earth’s equatorial ellipticity (0 citations)
• Relations between global seismic parameters and activity cycles of the Sun (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.

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, 15.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.73% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.18% of all publications and 50.00% 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.
