Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra

Top Research Topics at Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra?

Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra was organized to reinforce research efforts on Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Algebra and Ring (mathematics). The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Pure mathematics as it also encompasses Type (model theory). The journal investigates Discrete mathematics research which frequently intersects with Noetherian.

Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra holds forums on Combinatorics that merges themes from other disciplines such as Order (group theory) and Group (mathematics). The study on Algebra presented in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra intersects with the topics under Algebra over a field. Equivariant cohomology and Group cohomology are Cohomology topics of special interest in it.

The published papers hold forums on Algebra that merge themes from other disciplines such as Hopf algebra and Quantum group.

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

• Algebra
• Pure mathematics
• Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Field (mathematics), Commutative property and Conjecture. While it focused on Pure mathematics, it was also able to explore topics like Type (model theory) and Algebraic number. In the journal, Ring (mathematics), Class (set theory) and Algebra over a field are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Combinatorics research.

Topics in Ring (mathematics) explored in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra were investigated in conjunction with research in Ideal (ring theory) and Quotient. Hausdorff space, Unital and Countable set are some topics wherein Commutative property research discussed in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra have an impact. The journal focuses on Conjecture but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Polynomial ring, Dimension (graph theory) and Rank (linear algebra).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Twisted Steinberg algebras (6 citations)
• Gelfand-type duality for commutative von Neumann algebras (4 citations)
• Degenerations of nilpotent algebras (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.

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 2022 edition, 7.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.59% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.46% of all publications and 69.62% 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.
