CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: Research and Applications On Validating Engineering Design Decision Support Tools Andrew T. Olewnik and Kemper Lewis* University at Buffalo-SUNY, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Buffalo, NY 14260, USA Abstract: In this article, an argument for validation of design–decision methods is presented. Close Research in Engineering Design is an international journal that publishes research papers on design theory and methodology in all fields of engineering, focussing on mechanical, civil, architectural, and manufacturing engineering.
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. Year SJR 1999 0.732 2000 0.462 2001 0.422 2002 0.531 2003 0.628 2004 0.537 2005 0.224 2006 0.464 2007 0.534 2008 0.564 2009 0.521 2010 0.912 2011 0.364 2012 0.437 2013 0.485 2014 0.386 2015 0.574 2016 0.549 2017 0.642.
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. Cites per document Year Value Cites / Doc.
