Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society

Top Research Topics at Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society?

Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society was organized to reinforce research efforts on Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Mathematical analysis and Applied mathematics. The concepts on Pure mathematics presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Class (set theory), Type (model theory) and Bounded function. The studies on Combinatorics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Ring (mathematics) and Group (mathematics).

The study on Discrete mathematics presented in Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society intersects with subjects under the field of Fixed point. Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society emphasizes research on Mathematical analysis, which includes concerns such as Boundary value problem.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society:

The journal papers focus on Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Mathematical analysis and Metric space. The works on Pure mathematics tackled in the journal papers bring together disciplines like Space (mathematics), Orthogonality and Mathematical proof. The most cited publications focus on Combinatorics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Structure (category theory), Simple group, Group (mathematics) and Analytic function.

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

• Mathematical analysis
• Algebra
• Pure mathematics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Bulletin of The Iranian Mathematical Society tackles a plethora of topics, such as Combinatorics, Pure mathematics, Applied mathematics, Type (model theory) and Algebra over a field. In particular, the Combinatorics works presented emphasize discussions on Ideal (ring theory). Manifold is the primary subject of Pure mathematics works presented in the journal.

The research on Applied mathematics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Convergence (routing) and Nonlinear system.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• A-Numerical Radius Orthogonality and Parallelism of Semi-Hilbertian Space Operators and Their Applications (21 citations)
• Starlike Functions Associated with Cosine Functions (10 citations)
• A-Numerical Radius and Product of Semi-Hilbertian Operators (6 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.

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, 8.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.66% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.41% of all publications and 60.34% 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.
