Optical Switching and Networking focuses on Computer network, Distributed computing, Wavelength-division multiplexing, Routing (electronic design automation) and Network packet. The in-depth study on Computer network also explores topics in the intersecting field of Passive optical network. The work on Passive optical network addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Dynamic bandwidth allocation.
The studies in Dynamic bandwidth allocation featured incorporate elements of Polling and Bandwidth allocation. The studies on Distributed computing discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Survivability, Backup, Network topology, Heuristic (computer science) and Routing and wavelength assignment. In addition to Wavelength-division multiplexing research, it aims to explore topics under Multiplexing and Transmission (telecommunications).
The work on Routing (electronic design automation) tackled in Optical Switching and Networking brings together disciplines like Frequency allocation, Algorithm, Integer programming and Network planning and design. Aside from discussions in Network packet, Optical Switching and Networking also deals with the subject of Real-time computing which intersects with Optical burst switching disciplines. Burst switching research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Transmission delay.
The published papers primarily tackle Computer network, Distributed computing, Passive optical network, Wavelength-division multiplexing and Routing (electronic design automation). The studies tackled in the journal papers, which mainly focus on Computer network, apply to Efficient energy use as well. The studies on Routing (electronic design automation) discussed at the published articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Algorithm and Network topology.
Optical Switching and Networking is mainly concerned with subjects like Routing (electronic design automation), Resource allocation, Distributed computing, Transmission (telecommunications) and State dependent. Issues in Routing (electronic design automation) were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Survivability, Load balancing (computing) and Downtime. Topics in Resource allocation were tackled in line with various other fields like Network architecture, Network planning and design, Network performance, Multiplexing and Integer programming.
Some problems in Distributed computing that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Artificial neural network, Assignment problem, Multi-objective optimization, Fuzzy logic and Internet traffic. Aside from research in State dependent, the journal also discusses topics such as All optical and Spectrum (functional analysis).
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 Optical Switching and Networking (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Optical Switching and Networking (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 42.86% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 75.00% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
