Overview

Top Research Topics at Order?

Order is organized to address concerns in the fields of Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Algebra over a field, Partially ordered set and Lattice (order). Order connects the study in Combinatorics with the closely related area of Order (group theory). While work presented in it provided substantial information on Discrete mathematics, it also covered topics in Chain (algebraic topology), Upper and lower bounds and Order (ring theory).

Some problems in Algebra over a field that were presented in Order overlapped with concepts under Characterization (mathematics), Algebra, Class (set theory) and Dimension (graph theory). Partially ordered set research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Star product, Interval (graph theory) and Graph. Many of the studies tackled connect Lattice (order) with a similar field of study like Distributive property.

The journal features Map of lattices research that overlaps with concepts in Congruence lattice problem. The Congruence lattice problem study featured falls within the wider field of Distributive lattice.

  • Combinatorics (73.83%)
  • Discrete mathematics (54.57%)
  • Algebra over a field (37.20%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Contractive Mapping Theorems in Partially Ordered Sets and Applications to Ordinary Differential Equations (929 citations)
  • Planar graphs and poset dimension (254 citations)
  • Counting linear extensions (233 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Order:

The published articles are mainly concerned with subjects like Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Partially ordered set, Algebra over a field and Lattice (order). The published papers focus on Combinatorics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Distributive lattice, Distributive property and Order (group theory). The most cited articles focus on Discrete mathematics but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Graph theory which is concerned with Ordered set.

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

  • Combinatorics
  • Algebra
  • Real number

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of the journal are Combinatorics, Algebra over a field, Partially ordered set, Pure mathematics and Dimension (graph theory). The work on Combinatorics tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Order (group theory) and Order (ring theory). The research on Algebra over a field tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Ordered set, Finitely-generated abelian group, Type (model theory), Lattice (group) and Sequence.

While Partially ordered set is the focus of Order, it also provided insights into the studies of Structure (category theory), Class (set theory), Path (topology) and Binary number. The studies in Pure mathematics featured incorporate elements of Simple (abstract algebra) and Distributive property. In addition to Dimension (graph theory) research, the journal aims to explore topics under Maximal element, Arbitrarily large, Diagram (category theory), Plane (geometry) and Linear programming relaxation.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Representations of Infinite Tree Sets (6 citations)
  • Sectionally Pseudocomplemented Posets (5 citations)
  • A Generalization of Strassen’s Theorem on Preordered Semirings (3 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 Order (based on the number of publications) are:

  • William T. Trotter (28 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Peter C. Fishburn (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Stefan Felsner (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bernd S. W. Schröder (18 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • John Harding (16 papers) published 2 papers 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 Order (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Calgary (32 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Szeged (25 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • New Mexico State University (23 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Ottawa (21 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, 10.71% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.00% of all publications and 60.00% 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.
