  • On general minimax theorems (1420 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Pacific Journal of Mathematics:

Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Combinatorics and Algebra are the main subjects of interest in the journal articles. The study on Pure mathematics presented in the most cited articles is investigated in conjunction with research in Topology.

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 facilitates discussions on Pure mathematics, Combinatorics, Group (mathematics), Type (model theory) and Quotient. Research in Algebraic number and the interrelating topic of Lie group were among the subjects of interest in the Pure mathematics studies discussed in the journal. The concepts on Combinatorics presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Reductive group, Finite group and Extension (predicate logic).

The research on Group (mathematics) discussed in Pacific Journal of Mathematics draws on the closely related field of Bijection. The work on Type (model theory) tackled in it brings together disciplines like Equivariant map and Symmetric group. The journal investigates Cohomology research which frequently intersects with Structure (category theory).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • On a property of Bergman kernels when the Kähler potential is analytic (4 citations)
  • MacLane-Vaquié chains of valuations on a polynomial ring (4 citations)
  • A Delaunay-type classification result for prescribed mean curvature surfaces in 2(κ) × ℝ (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.

The top authors publishing in Pacific Journal of Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Ernst Straus (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ken R. Goodearl (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Irving Glicksberg (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kenneth S. Williams (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • D. S. Passman (16 papers) absent 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 Pacific Journal of Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (29 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Ohio State University (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Minnesota (23 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of British Columbia (21 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of California, Los Angeles (17 papers) absent 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, 1.39% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.04% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.31% of all publications and 63.38% 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.
