Overview

Top Research Topics at Review of Income and Wealth?

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Econometrics, Labour economics, National accounts, Macroeconomics and Demographic economics. Index (economics), Statistics and Estimation are some topics wherein Econometrics research discussed in the journal have an impact. Topics in Labour economics explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Earnings, National wealth and Income distribution, Distribution (economics).

The research on Income distribution featured in Review of Income and Wealth combines topics in other fields like Total personal income, Adjusted gross income, Net national income, Gross income and Economic inequality. The majority of Economic inequality studies in Review of Income and Wealth are focused on the subject of Income inequality metrics. Review of Income and Wealth connects the study in National accounts with the closely related area of Public economics.

It investigates Public economics research which frequently intersects with Welfare. While Demographic economics is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Poverty and Development economics. It focuses on National Income and Product Accounts research which is adjacent to topics in Gross fixed capital formation.

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, 4.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.80% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.19% of all publications and 63.77% 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.

Educational Affiliations

While discussing the crucial role played by educational institutions and their affiliated researchers in contributing to the academic journal, it is also imperative to understand the importance of career training in these research areas. Accounting for example, a field which finds significance in Econometrics and Macroeconomics, is being nurtured in many schools across Ohio. Studying in best accounting schools in Ohio could provide one the necessary foundation to participate and contribute to high-quality research in the area of Economics. It's the amalgamation of knowledge procured in these schools and the unique insights of the researchers that pave the way for innovative research articles in journals like 'Review of Income and Wealth'.
