"I'd like to publish in Q1, but there's no Q1 to be found": Study of journal quartile distributions across subject categories and topics

The choice to focus on a journal's impact factor, or its quartile, in authoritative rankings, when deciding where to publish research results can be driven by various reasons. These may include personal prestige, enhancing the appeal of a CV, the desire to increase publication-related rewards, meeting the conditions of scientific funds, or fulfilling qualification requirements. While these considerations deviate from the “pure science” perspective, the fact is that they are widely adopted. Our research demonstrates that the conventional division into journal quartiles may privilege certain disciplinary categories while disadvantaging others. Disciplinary categories in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and similar rankings are imbalanced in terms of the number of articles across different journal quartiles. This is attributable to three factors: the distribution of journals across quartiles, the varying volume of journals, and the selection of the highest quartile when journals are categorized under multiple disciplines. Narrower research areas, such as Topic Clusters from SciVal, may completely lack Q1 journals dedicated to them, or even any such journals at all. This finding might also interest publishers when selecting topics for launching new titles. The apparent inequality between disciplines unveiled in our study offers a new perspective to argue against the use of quartile metrics, at least in a straightforward manner, when evaluating performance and shaping science policies.

This paper investigates one possible solution to the problem of self-interference cancellation (SIC) arising in the design of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) communication systems. Self-interference cancellation is performed in the digital domain using multilayer nonlinear models adapted via gradient-based optimization. The presence of local minima and saddle points during the adaptation of multilayer models limits the ...

This paper examines echo state networks (ESNs), one of the most prevalent approaches to
implementing reservoir computing. An ESN consists of a recurrent neural network with fixed (untrained)
weights and a readout layer that is typically linear and trainable. This approach enables the creation of energyefficient and computationally efficient neural networks capable of real-time learning. However, since ...

В статье представлен метод рефакторинга исходного кода на основе интеграции большой языковой модели (LLM) и расширенной UML-модели программного кода. Предложенный подход позволяет выявлять проблемные участки кода с использованием функций тревожности и структурных метрик классов, а затем выполнять автоматизированный рефакторинг. Ключевой особенностью метода является использование LLM для генерации формальных спецификаций на языке OCL (Object Constraint Language), ...

AI errors pose a significant challenge, hindering real-world applications. This work introduces a novel approach to cope with AI errors using weakly supervised error correctors that guarantee a specific level of error reduction. Our correctors have low computational cost and can be used to decide whether to abstain from making an unsafe classification. We provide ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...

This study presents on-the-fly identification and multi-step prediction of nonlinear systems with delayed inputs using a dynamic neural network combined with a smooth projection onto ellipsoids. The projection enforces parameter constraints that guarantee stability, while a Lyapunov–Krasovskii analysis yields computable ultimate error bounds. Riccati-type matrix inequalities are derived, providing an efficient vectorization–projection–devectorization implementation suitable for ...

Intrabody communication (IBC) channels offer physiological diversity that can be leveraged for passive biometric identification in wearable devices. Recent reports of over 99 per cent identification accuracy have frequently resulted from data leakage, where samples from the same subject are seen in both training and evaluation, yielding inflated and unreliable metrics. In this work, we ...

One of the most useful and correct methodological approaches in bibliometrics is ranking. In the context of highly skewed bibliometric distributions and severe distortions caused by outliers, it is often the preferable way of analysis. Ranking methodology strictly implies that “oranges should be compared with oranges, apples with apples”. We should make a “like with ...
