Research areas of the most cited articles at Renewable Energy Focus:

The most cited papers primarily focus on research topics in Renewable energy, Wind power, Photovoltaic system, Environmental economics and Solar power. The studies on Renewable energy discussed at the journal publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Natural resource economics and Operations management. Issues in Photovoltaic system were discussed in the published papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Fluid dynamics, Radiation, Greenhouse gas and Architectural engineering.

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

• World War II
• Law
• China

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Renewable energy, Electricity, Photovoltaic system, Electricity generation and Energy consumption. The Renewable energy works featured in Renewable Energy Focus incorporate elements from Natural resource economics, Automotive engineering, Smart grid, Fossil fuel and Environmental economics. It addresses concerns in Electricity which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Solar energy harvesting, Load management, Architectural engineering and Tariff.

It holds forums on Photovoltaic system that merges themes from other disciplines such as Thermal, Parabolic trough, Control theory, Population sampling and Voltage. The research on Electricity generation tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Artificial neural network, Raw material and Biogas. Renewable Energy Focus focuses on Energy consumption but sometimes tackles the closely related disciplines such as

• Consumption (economics) that intertwine with fields like Greenhouse gas, Wind power, Primary energy, Debt and Sustainability,
• Efficient energy use which intersects with area such as Photovoltaics, Air conditioning and Prosumer..

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• A comprehensive analysis of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) systems and scholarly literature on the application of such systems (7 citations)
• [2_TD$DIFF]Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) based discrimination of normal, inrush and fault conditions in power transformer (4 citations)
• The impact of corporations and banking system leverage on renewable energy: Evidence from selected OECD countries (2 citations)

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, 12.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.82% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.76% of all publications and 55.88% 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.
