Research areas of the most cited articles at Experimental Mathematics:

The journal papers tackle a plethora of topics, such as Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis and Algebra. The studies on Combinatorics discussed at the most cited papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Manifold and Polygon. The Discrete mathematics studies presented in the journal articles encompass related topics like Integer and Galois cohomology and also examine its connection to subjects such as Division polynomials and Twists of curves.

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

  • Algebra
  • Geometry
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Conjecture and Algebra. Issues in Pure mathematics were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Class (set theory), Surface (mathematics) and Prime (order theory). Studies on Combinatorics discussed in the journal link to the field of Group (mathematics).

The journal addresses concerns in Discrete mathematics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Benford's law, HOL and Partition (politics). The research on Conjecture tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Valuation (measure theory), Heuristic reasoning, Range (mathematics), Quiver and Integer programming. The Algebra study presented in it encompasses related topics like Regular representation and also examines its connection to subjects such as Dependency relation.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • On skew braces and their ideals (13 citations)
  • On the Dual Geometry of Laplacian Eigenfunctions (9 citations)
  • The 21 reducible polars of Klein's quartic (7 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 Experimental Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jonathan M. Borwein (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Michael Pohst (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • David H. Bailey (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Robert S. Strichartz (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Richard E. Crandall (9 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 Experimental Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Princeton University (16 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of California, Berkeley (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Washington (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Technical University of Berlin (14 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, 8.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.94% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.94% of all publications and 69.84% 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.
