Food and Energy Security Impact Factor 2024-2025 - ResearchHelpDesk - Food and Energy Security is a high quality and high impact open access journal publishing original research on agricultural crop and forest productivity to improve food and energy security. Aims and Scope Food and Energy Security seeks to publish high quality and high impact original research on agricultural crop and forest productivity to improve food and energy security. It actively seeks submissions from emerging countries with expanding agricultural research communities. Papers from China, other parts of Asia, India and South America are particularly welcome. The Editorial Board, headed by Editor-in-Chief Professor Christine Foyer, is determined to make FES the leading publication in its sector and will be aiming for a top-ranking impact factor. Primary research articles should report hypothesis-driven investigations that provide new insights into mechanisms and processes that determine productivity and properties for exploitation. Review articles are welcome but they must be critical in approach and provide particularly novel and far-reaching insights. Food and Energy Security offers authors a forum for the discussion of the most important advances in this field and promotes an integrative approach of scientific disciplines. Papers must contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge. Examples of areas covered in Food and Energy Security include: Agronomy Biotechnological Approaches Breeding & Genetics Climate Change Quality and Composition Food Crops and Bioenergy Feedstocks Developmental, Physiology, and Biochemistry Functional Genomics Molecular Biology Pest and Disease Management Political, economic and societal influences on food security and agricultural crop production Post Harvest Biology Soil Science Systems Biology The journal is Open Access and published online. Submission of manuscripts to Food and Energy Security is exclusive via a web-based electronic submission and tracking system enabling rapid submission to first decision times. Before submitting a paper for publication, potential authors should first read the Author Guidelines. Instructions as to how to upload your manuscript can be found on ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Context

Pakistan has a large number of public and private universities offering degrees in multiple disciplines. There are 162 universities out of which 64 are in private sector and 98 are public sector/government universities recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC).

According to HEC, Pakistani universities are producing over half a million graduates per year, which include over more than 10,000 Computer Science/IT graduates.

From year 2001 to 2015 there is a mass increase in number of enrollment in universities. The recent statistics shows that in 2015, 1,298,600 students enrolled in different levels of degree, 869,378 in Bachelors (16 years), 63,412 in Bachelors (17 years), 219,280 in Masters (16 years), 124,107 in M.Phil/MS, 14,373 in Ph.D, and 8,319 in P.G.D. However, in 2014 the number of doctoral degree awarded were 1,351 only.

Moreover, according to HEC report, in 2014-2015 there are over 10,125 fulltime Ph.D. faculty teaching in Pakistan in all disciplines. Computer Science and related disciplines are widely taught in Pakistan with over 90 universities offering this discipline with qualified faculty. According to our dataset, there are 504 PhD faculty members in Computer Science in Pakistan for 10,000 students. So we have a PhD faculty member for every 20 students on average in computer science program.

Current Student to PhD Professor Ratio in Pakistan is 130:1 (while India is going towards 10:1 in Post-Graduate and 25:1 in Undergrad education).

Here is world's Top 100 universities with Student to Staff Ratio.

Content

Dataset: The dataset contains list of computer science/IT professors from 89 different universities of Pakistan.

Variables: The dataset contains Serial No, Teacher’s Name, University Currently Teaching, Department, Province University Located, Designation, Terminal Degree, Graduated from (university for professor), Country of graduation, Year, Area of Specialization/Research Interests, and some Other Information

Acknowledgements

Data has been collected from respective university websites. Some of the universities did not mention about their faculty profiles or were unavailable (hence the limitation of this dataset). The statistics mentioned above are gathered by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) website and other web resources.

Inspiration

Here is what I like you to do:

1. Which area of interest/expertise is in abundance in Pakistan and where we need more people?
2. How many professors we have in Data Sciences, Artificial Intelligence, or Machine Learning?
3. Which country and university hosted majority of our teachers?
4. Which research areas were most common in Pakistan?
5. How does Pakistan Student to PhD Professor Ratio compare against rest of the world, especially with USA, India and China?
6. Any visualization and patterns you can generate from this data

Let me know how I can improve this dataset and best of luck with your work

This dataset contains impact measures (metrics/indicators) for 104,769,307 scientific articles. In particular, for each article we have calculated the following measures:

• PageRank score: This is a citation-based measure reflecting the influence (i.e., the total impact) of an article. It is based on the PageRank¹ network analysis method. In the context of citation networks, PageRank estimates the importance of each article based on its centrality in the whole network.

• RAM score: This is a citation-based measure reflecting the popularity (i.e., the current impact) of an article. It is based on the RAM² citation network analysis method. Methods like PageRank are biased against recently published articles (new articles need time to receive their first citations). RAM alleviates this problem using an approach known as “time-awareness”. This is why it is more suitable to capture the current “hype” of an article.

• AttRank score: This is a citation-based measure reflecting the popularity (i.e., the current impact) of an article. It is based on the AttRank³ citation network analysis method. Methods like PageRank are biased against recently published articles (new articles need time to receive their first citations). AttRank alleviates this problem incorporating an attention-based mechanism, akin to a time-restricted version of preferential attachment, to explicitly capture a researcher’s preference to read papers which received a lot of attention recently. This is why it is more suitable to capture the current “hype” of an article.

We provide three compressed CSV files (one for each measure/score provided) having lines of the form “DOI \t score”. The configuration of each measure have bes captured in the corresponding filename. Regarding the different measures/scores, you can find more intuition inside a previous extensive experimental study⁴.

The data of the citation network used to produce this dataset have been gathered from (a) the OpenCitations’ COCI dataset (Sep-2020 version), (b) a MAG^5,6 snapshot from Aug-2020, and (c) a Crossref snapshot from Mar-2020. The union of all distinct DOI-to-DOI citations that could be found in these sources have been considered (entries without a DOI were omitted).
