Overview

Top Research Topics at Wind Engineering?

The concepts of Wind power, Turbine, Marine engineering, Wind speed and Meteorology are tackled in the journal. The journal emphasizes research on Wind power, which includes concerns such as Offshore wind power. Wind Engineering focuses on Offshore wind power research which is adjacent to topics in Submarine pipeline.

Turbine research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Aerodynamics, Structural engineering, Automotive engineering, Wake and Rotor (electric). It holds forums on Marine engineering that merges themes from other disciplines such as Computational fluid dynamics and Wind tunnel. Wind profile power law is a focus of the presented Wind speed works and it dives deep in Wind profile power law.

The journal centers on topics in Meteorology, with a focus on Wind shear. Research in Induction generator and the interrelating topic of Grid were among the subjects of interest in the Control theory studies discussed in the journal. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Turbine blade and the similar topic of Airfoil.

  • Wind power (54.24%)
  • Turbine (34.83%)
  • Marine engineering (24.75%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Wind Engineering:

The journal papers focus largely on the fields of Wind power, Turbine, Offshore wind power, Marine engineering and Wind speed. The most cited papers explore issues in Wind power which can be linked to other research areas like Aerodynamics, Electric power system, Control theory, Meteorology and Rotor (electric). The Offshore wind power studies in the journal articles expound on topics in

  • Power station that connect with fields like Wind hybrid power systems,
  • Pumped-storage hydroelectricity together with Environmental economics..

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

  • World War II
  • Statistics
  • Electrical engineering

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main points discussed in the journal deals with Wind power, Turbine, Marine engineering, Control theory and Automotive engineering. The journal focuses on Wind power but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Wind speed which is concerned with Weibull distribution. The journal addresses concerns in Turbine which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Generator (circuit theory), Cost of electricity by source and Rotor (electric).

The study of Turbine blade and how it intertwines with concepts under Aerodynamics were explored in the presented Marine engineering research. In Wind Engineering, Permanent magnet synchronous generator, Wind energy conversion, Electric power system, Control (management) and Fuzzy logic are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Control theory research. The studies on Automotive engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Grid and Generator (computer programming).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • A solution to reduce overheating and increase wind turbine systems availability (13 citations)
  • Opportunities for and challenges to further reductions in the “specific power” rating of wind turbines installed in the United States: (8 citations)
  • Manufacturing deformation impact on the performance of electrical generator for the wind turbine application (7 citations)

Papers citation over time

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.

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, 13.87% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.73% of all publications and 66.10% 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.
