Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Topology and Analysis?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Mathematical analysis, Group (mathematics) and Bounded function. The journal features Pure mathematics research that overlaps with concepts in Geodesic. In Journal of Topology and Analysis, Discrete mathematics, Upper and lower bounds and Torus are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Combinatorics research.

The work on Symplectic geometry presented in it focuses on Floer homology in particular. It connects research in Manifold with the related topic of Boundary (topology).

  • Pure mathematics (63.55%)
  • Combinatorics (21.96%)
  • Mathematical analysis (9.81%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • HIRZEBRUCH CLASSES AND MOTIVIC CHERN CLASSES FOR SINGULAR SPACES (118 citations)
  • Leaf-wise intersections and Rabinowitz Floer homology (80 citations)
  • INJECTIVE HULLS OF CERTAIN DISCRETE METRIC SPACES AND GROUPS (77 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Topology and Analysis:

The most cited papers mainly tackle studies in Pure mathematics, Symplectic geometry, Homology (mathematics), Discrete mathematics and Combinatorics. The most cited publications explore topics in Pure mathematics which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Class (set theory), Mathematical analysis and Embedding. The studies on Combinatorics discussed at the published papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Boundary (topology) and Distortion (mathematics).

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

  • Pure mathematics
  • Topology
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Topology and Analysis explores disciplines such as Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Group (mathematics), Type (model theory) and Space (mathematics). The Pure mathematics study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Bounded function. Upper and lower bounds, Geodesic and Cross section (physics) are some topics wherein Combinatorics research discussed in it have an impact.

The studies on Group (mathematics) discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Infinity, Topology (chemistry) and Boundary (topology). The journal holds forums on Type (model theory) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Point (geometry), Surface (topology), Geometry and Braid group. While Space (mathematics) is the focus of Journal of Topology and Analysis, it also provided insights into the studies of Intersection homology, Direct sum, Operator K-theory, Algebra over a field and Unitary group.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Variations on the theme of the uniform boundary condition (8 citations)
  • On the cohomology of the classifying spaces of projective unitary groups (7 citations)
  • Bredon cohomological dimension for virtually abelian stabilisers for CAT(0) groups (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 Topology and Analysis (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Michael Farber (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Wolfgang Lück (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Tomohiro Fukaya (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Alexander Nabutovsky (4 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Urs Frauenfelder (4 papers) published 2 papers 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 Topology and Analysis (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Toronto (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Vanderbilt University (12 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Chicago (12 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • ETH Zurich (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Tel Aviv University (10 papers) published 2 papers 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, 2.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.90% of all publications and 44.78% 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.
