Mathematical Research Letters

Top Research Topics at Mathematical Research Letters?

The aim of Mathematical Research Letters is to expand the discussion of research in Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Combinatorics, Algebra and Discrete mathematics. The work tackled in Mathematical Research Letters goes beyond the discipline of Pure mathematics as it also encompasses Type (model theory). The journal focuses on Mathematical analysis as well as the interrelated topic of Mathematical physics.

The study on Combinatorics presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Upper and lower bounds.

• Pure mathematics (52.22%)
• Mathematical analysis (20.74%)
• Combinatorics (18.10%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

• Monopoles and four-manifolds (798 citations)
• THE SEIBERG-WITTEN INVARIANTS AND SYMPLECTIC FORMS (573 citations)
• Multiple polylogarithms, cyclotomy and modular complexes (555 citations)

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

The most cited articles aim to foster the development of research in Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Combinatorics, Algebra and Discrete mathematics. The published papers focus on Pure mathematics research which is adjacent to topics in Group (mathematics). Issues in Mathematical analysis were discussed in the published papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Type (model theory), Scalar curvature and Mathematical physics.

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

• Mathematical analysis
• Pure mathematics
• Algebra

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal investigates studies in Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Floer homology, Identity (mathematics) and Type (model theory). It discusses concepts in Holomorphic function under Pure mathematics and how they intertwine with disciplines like Property (philosophy). Issues in Combinatorics were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Class (set theory), Vector bundle and Connection (algebraic framework).

Topics in Floer homology were tackled in line with various other fields like Homotopy, Knot (mathematics) and Injective function. Mathematical Research Letters holds forums on Identity (mathematics) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Filtration (mathematics), Moduli, Character (mathematics), Cluster (physics) and Higgs boson. The work on Type (model theory) tackled in it brings together disciplines like Modular form and Moduli space.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• qKZ/tRS Duality via Quantum K-Theoretic Counts (6 citations)
• The doubling archimedean zeta integrals for $p$-adic interpolation (5 citations)
• Fourier–Mukai partners of Enriques and bielliptic surfaces in positive characteristic (4 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Mathematical Research Letters (based on the number of publications) are:

• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (79 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University of California, Berkeley (69 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
• University of California, Los Angeles (51 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Princeton University (45 papers) published 1 paper 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, 2.78% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.43% of all publications and 54.29% 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.
