Overview

Top Research Topics at American Journal of Mathematics?

American Journal of Mathematics is organized to address concerns in the fields of Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Algebra, Combinatorics and Discrete mathematics. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Pure mathematics, apply to Group (mathematics) as well.

  • Pure mathematics (41.26%)
  • Mathematical analysis (19.82%)
  • Algebra (16.02%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • The Homogeneous Chaos (2358 citations)
  • On curves of minimal length with a constraint on average curvature, and with prescribed initial and terminal positions and tangents (2241 citations)
  • Harmonic Mappings of Riemannian Manifolds (1854 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at American Journal of Mathematics:

The most cited publications mainly tackle studies in Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Algebra, Discrete mathematics and Combinatorics. Most of the works presented in the most cited publications deal with Pure mathematics but they intersect with the subject of Topology. The journal papers link adjacent topics like Mathematical analysis with Nonlinear system.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Pure mathematics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

American Journal of Mathematics is mainly concerned with subjects like Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Combinatorics, Type (model theory) and Conjecture. The majority of Pure mathematics studies are focused on the issues of Locus (mathematics). The work on Mathematical analysis tackled in it brings together disciplines like Function (mathematics), Curve-shortening flow, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors and Soliton.

While work presented in it provided substantial information on Combinatorics, it also covered topics in Minimal surface, Operator norm and Ascending chain condition. Topics in Type (model theory) were tackled in line with various other fields like Quadratic equation, Infinitesimal, Homogenization (chemistry), Curvature and Space (mathematics). Prehomogeneous vector space, Set (abstract data type), Lattice (module), Fourier transform and Fractal are some topics wherein Conjecture research discussed in American Journal of Mathematics have an impact.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Hida families and p-adic triple product L-functions (15 citations)
  • $p$-adic families of automorphic forms in the $\mu$-ordinary setting (15 citations)
  • Weighted restriction estimates and application to falconer distance set problem (13 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in American Journal of Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Aurel Wintner (195 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Philip Hartman (72 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Philip Hartman (34 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Leonard Eugene Dickson (34 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Oscar Zariski (27 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in American Journal of Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Michigan (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Illinois at Chicago (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Chicago (7 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 91.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 33.33% of all publications and 33.33% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
