University researcher Denis Sidorov joined Mathematics journal editorial board
Professor Denis Sidorov oversees engineering mathematics section
Denis Sidorov, Professor at the INRTU Department of Computer Engineering, head of the Laboratory of Industrial Mathematics at the Baikal School of BRICS, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, has joined the editorial board of the international journal Mathematics. The leading publication publishes materials related to fundamental and applied mathematics.
Mathematics is published by MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) together with the European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology (EUSFLAT). The journal is in the first quartile of the international Web of Science database. Its pages feature original research and reviews of current discoveries in various fields of mathematics. Professor Denis Sidorov oversees the engineering mathematics section along with 43 leading professors representing key research centers.
Denis Sidorov has been reviewing and abstracting international scientific journals for more than a decade. He is an expert of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Science Foundation, and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. The scientist is a member of the Council on Management, Computer Science and Informatics of the Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
He is a member of the editorial board of the leading international journal of Elsevier, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, which is ranked in Q1 with an impact factor of 10.556. He is also a guest editor of the special issue on machine learning in energy in the journal Energies (Scopus, first quartile).
In addition, Denis Sidorov leads the inter-institutional research group "Machine Learning, Vision and Dynamic Systems".
Since 2004, the INRTU professor has prepared more than 260 reviews and abstracts. Articles and scientific reviews by the scientist and members of his research group have been published in leading journals of Elsevier, Springer and MDPI. Every year the Publons executive committee of Clarivate Analytics international rating agency includes Denis Sidorov in the top global ratings of reviewers. Experts praise his contribution to the field of engineering and interdisciplinary research.
Denis Sidorov believes that professors need to share their experience in reviewing publications with the younger generation of researchers using various services. The scientist calls the preparation of reviews a labor-intensive process. In his opinion, the activity of the expert is primarily associated with the analysis of information, checking the reliability, logic of calculations and conclusions made in the scientific article.
According to the scientist, reviewers pay special attention to plagiarism and self-plagiarism. To avoid "intellectual theft," Denis Sidorov recommends initially posting the results of research in the form of preprints on scientific social networks such as ResearchGate or the arXiv depository.
