Research areas of the most cited articles at Letters in Mathematical Physics:

The most cited papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Pure mathematics, Mathematical physics, Complex system, Mathematical analysis and Algebra. While work presented in the journal publications provide substantial information on Pure mathematics, it also covers topics in Discrete mathematics, Quantum and Type (model theory). The most cited publications hold forums on Mathematical physics that merge themes from other disciplines such as Quantum mechanics and AdS/CFT correspondence.

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

• Quantum mechanics
• Mathematical analysis
• Algebra

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Letters in Mathematical Physics covers a variety of subjects, including Pure mathematics, Mathematical physics, Complex system, Combinatorics and Type (model theory). More specifically, the research on Pure mathematics in it is related to Moduli space. The studies on Mathematical physics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Operator (physics), Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics), Magnetic potential and Group (mathematics).

Letters in Mathematical Physics aims to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions involving Complex system as well as topics like Statistical physics and Mathematical analysis. The Type (model theory) study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Algebra over a field. Letters in Mathematical Physics focuses on Integrable system as well as the interrelated topic of Gauge theory.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Gluing II: boundary localization and gluing formulas (8 citations)
• A note on the Fröhlich dynamics in the strong coupling limit (6 citations)
• Quantum Gravity and Riemannian Geometry on the Fuzzy Sphere (5 citations)

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, 9.77% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 65.00% 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.
