Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Mathematical Logic?

Journal of Mathematical Logic tackles a plethora of topics, such as Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Pure mathematics, Countable set and Forcing (recursion theory). The studies on Discrete mathematics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Class (set theory), Borel equivalence relation and Reverse mathematics. It links adjacent topics like Borel equivalence relation with Borel hierarchy.

Journal of Mathematical Logic addresses concerns in Combinatorics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Structure (category theory), Determinacy, Function (mathematics) and Group (mathematics). The in-depth study on Group (mathematics) also explores topics in the intersecting field of Simple (abstract algebra). While Journal of Mathematical Logic focused on Pure mathematics, it was also able to explore topics like Separable space, Axiom, Bounded function and Model theory.

Model theory research discussed in Journal of Mathematical Logic aim to provide more information in the subject of Algebra. Research on Equivalence relation addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Borel set.

  • Discrete mathematics (42.49%)
  • Combinatorics (37.34%)
  • Pure mathematics (27.04%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Countable Borel equivalence relations (189 citations)
  • Squares, scales and stationary reflection (169 citations)
  • Galois-stability for Tame abstract elementary classes (113 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Mathematical Logic:

The journal publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Discrete mathematics, Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Large cardinal and Algebra. The most cited papers discuss concepts in Cantor space under Discrete mathematics and how they intertwine with disciplines like Operator (computer programming). While Pure mathematics is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Bounded function, Model theory and Reflection principle.

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

  • Algebra
  • Combinatorics
  • Discrete mathematics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Forcing (recursion theory), Class (set theory) and Discrete mathematics. Topics in Pure mathematics explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Structure (category theory), Polish space and Axiom. The work on Combinatorics tackled in Journal of Mathematical Logic brings together disciplines like Topological group, Large cardinal, Characterization (mathematics), Metric space and Product (mathematics).

Journal of Mathematical Logic explores topics in Forcing (recursion theory) which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Scheme (mathematics), Singular cardinals hypothesis and Series (mathematics). Topics in Class (set theory) explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Commutative diagram, Noncommutative geometry, Antichain, Elementary equivalence and Diagram (category theory). In Journal of Mathematical Logic, Generalization and Cone (formal languages) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Discrete mathematics research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Knaster and friends II: The C-sequence number (10 citations)
  • Generic derivations on o-minimal structures (6 citations)
  • Turing degrees in Polish spaces and decomposability of Borel functions (5 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 Journal of Mathematical Logic (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Saharon Shelah (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Rodney G. Downey (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Steffen Lempp (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Theodore A. Slaman (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Itay Neeman (6 papers) published 1 paper 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 Journal of Mathematical Logic (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Hebrew University of Jerusalem (24 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Rutgers University (19 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of California, Berkeley (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Wisconsin-Madison (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Victoria University of Wellington (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous 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, 18.18% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 44.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.52% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 14.81% 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.
