Research areas of the most cited articles at Fundamenta Mathematicae:

The journal papers primarily tackle Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Algebra, Combinatorics and Topology. The published articles investigate Pure mathematics research which frequently intersects with Mathematical analysis. The most cited articles primarily discuss Topology topics, particularly Topology (chemistry), General topology and Extension topology.

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

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Pure mathematics
  • Topology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Fundamenta Mathematicae focuses largely on the fields of Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Omega, Discrete mathematics and Space (mathematics). The majority of Pure mathematics studies are focused on the issues of Endomorphism. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Combinatorics, it also covered topics in Function (mathematics), Order (ring theory) and Group (mathematics).

In addition to Omega research, it aims to explore topics under Commutative property, Continuum (set theory), Fin, Distributivity and Amoeba (mathematics). The journal focuses on Discrete mathematics but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Argument which is concerned with Product (mathematics) and Ultrafilter. Fundamenta Mathematicae explores topics in Space (mathematics) which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Compact space and Basis (universal algebra).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • A complete Heyting algebra whose Scott space is non-sober (8 citations)
  • Bosonic and fermionic representations of endomorphisms of exterior algebras (3 citations)
  • Ramsey properties and extending partial automorphisms forhbox classes of finite structures (3 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 Fundamenta Mathematicae (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Wacław Sierpiński (259 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Casimir Kuratowski (84 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Saharon Shelah (68 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Karol Borsuk (68 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Stefan Mazurkiewicz (64 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 Fundamenta Mathematicae (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Warsaw (51 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Hebrew University of Jerusalem (44 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Polish Academy of Sciences (42 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Princeton University (33 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Paris (32 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, 80.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 38.46% of all publications and 53.85% 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.
