Overview

Top Research Topics at Telecommunication Systems?

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Computer network, Distributed computing, Computer communication networks, Real-time computing and Quality of service. While the journal focused on Computer network, it was also able to explore topics like Wireless and Wireless network. Issues in Distributed computing were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Link-state routing protocol, Wireless ad hoc network, Optimized Link State Routing Protocol, Routing protocol and Network topology.

Studies on Link-state routing protocol discussed in the journal link to the field of Wireless Routing Protocol. The Wireless ad hoc network study tackling the subject of Vehicular ad hoc network is the focus of the journal. The in-depth study on Real-time computing also explores topics in the intersecting field of Algorithm.

It explores issues in Wireless sensor network which can be linked to other research areas like Energy consumption and Key distribution in wireless sensor networks. Key distribution in wireless sensor networks research is concerned with Mobile wireless sensor network in particular.

  • Artificial intelligence

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Computer network, Efficient energy use, Algorithm, Wireless and Communication channel. Discussions in Telecommunication Systems are anchored in the subject of Computer network and the similar topic of Throughput. Telecommunication Systems focuses on Efficient energy use but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Energy consumption, Relay, Energy (signal processing) and Cognitive radio.

The Energy consumption works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Cluster analysis, Wireless sensor network, Distributed computing and Routing protocol. It addresses concerns in Routing protocol which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Node (networking), Scalability and Vehicular ad hoc network. Topics in Algorithm were tackled in line with various other fields like Set (abstract data type) and Fading.

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, 13.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.40% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.26% of all publications and 77.78% 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.
