The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Civil engineering, Finite element method and Excavation. The Geotechnical engineering works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Stress (mechanics) and Deformation (meteorology). The studies on Structural engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Numerical analysis, Computer simulation and Displacement (vector).
The journal blends together research topics in Civil engineering and Underground space. Aside from research in Underground space, it also discusses topics such as Development (topology), Architectural engineering and Environmental planning.
The journal publications focus largely on the fields of Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Excavation, Risk analysis (engineering) and Consolidation (soil). The study on Geotechnical engineering presented in the published papers is investigated in conjunction with research in Residual. While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Structural engineering, it also covers topics in Cohesion (geology), Probabilistic logic, Random variable and Friction angle.
The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Finite element method, Excavation and Rock mass classification. Topics in Geotechnical engineering were tackled in line with various other fields like Stiffness and Deformation (meteorology). The research on Structural engineering tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Vibration, Pipeline transport, Acceleration and Computer simulation.
While Finite element method is the focus of Underground Space, it also provided insights into the studies of Numerical analysis, Retaining wall and Bending moment. Topics in Excavation explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Groundwater, Residual, Deflection (engineering) and Dewatering. While the journal focused on Rock mass classification, it was also able to explore topics like Compressive strength, Stress (mechanics), Coefficient of determination, Brittleness and Algorithm.
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 Underground Space (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 Underground Space (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, 1.28% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 49.35% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.60% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.88% of all publications and 31.17% 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.
