Journal of Interconnection Networks

The Journal of Interconnection Networks (JOIN) is an international scientific journal dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art of interconnection networks. The journal addresses all aspects of interconnection networks which include structure, function, application and management in a variety of pervasive systems at the biological, cyber, physical and social level. Original research articles, both theoretical and applied, are solicited. Expository papers, which survey a matured or an emerging field, are also welcome. The topics covered by this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: System Structure and Management: Structures and Topologies: Multistage interconnection networks; various network properties including connectivity, diameter, wide diameter, reliability, reconfigurability, and fault-tolerance. Network Management: Routing, scheduling and load balancing; routing protocols; network design and traffic management; frequency equipment; network management policy and security. Domain Applications: Application of interconnection networks in parallel and distributed computing, reconfigurable network architecture, integrated circuits (VLSI layout design), multiprocessors and multi-core computers, and communication networks as diverse as telephone systems, cable network systems, computer networks, software defined networks, mobile communication networks, sensor networks, wireless networks, visualized networks, data center systems, clouds and satellite network systems Complex Network: Study of large networks defined with complex, typically probabilistic, structures; mathematical models; efficient algorithms; evolution of dynamic complex networks; big data implications of representing, managing, and analyzing large networks. Social Networks and Interaction: Semantic Network: Attention, consciousness, perception, knowledge presentation and association and proposition.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

External Cites per Doc

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
