The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Engineering design process, Mathematical optimization, Topology optimization, Optimization problem and Finite element method. Topics in Engineering design process explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Control theory, Sensitivity (control systems), Structural engineering, Optimal design and Algorithm. Buckling is a key component of Structural engineering research discussed in it.
Topics in Mathematical optimization were tackled in line with various other fields like Shape optimization, Reliability (statistics) and Truss. Topology optimization research featured in Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Topology (electrical circuits), Applied mathematics, Topology (chemistry), Topology and Stiffness. The journal connects research in Probabilistic-based design optimization with the related topic of Engineering optimization.
The most cited publications explore disciplines such as Mathematical optimization, Engineering design process, Topology optimization, Optimization problem and Finite element method. In addition to Mathematical optimization research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Shape optimization and Reliability (statistics). While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Engineering design process, it also covers topics in Structural engineering, Truss, Kriging, Nonlinear system and Algorithm.
The journal aims to foster the development of research in Engineering design process, Topology optimization, Mathematical optimization, Finite element method and Optimization problem. Issues in Engineering design process were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Sensitivity (control systems), Structural engineering, Optimal design, Benchmark (computing) and Algorithm. Aside from discussions in Topology optimization, the journal also deals with the subject of Topology which intersects with Truss disciplines.
The journal facilitates discussions on Mathematical optimization that incorporate concepts from other fields like Probabilistic logic, Constraint (information theory), Function (mathematics), Reliability (statistics) and Robustness (computer science). Research in Kriging and the interrelating topic of Sampling (statistics) were among the subjects of interest in the Reliability (statistics) studies discussed in the journal. While Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization focused on Finite element method, it was also able to explore topics like Discretization and Control theory.
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 Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (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 Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (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 2021 edition, 4.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.69% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.57% of all publications and 46.45% 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.
