This paper explores a new indicator of journal citation impact, denoted as source normalized impact per paper (SNIP). It measures a journal’s contextual citation impact, taking into account characteristics of its properly defined subject field, especially the frequency at which authors cite other papers in their reference lists, the rapidity of maturing of citation impact, and the extent to whi...

this study historically analyzes the scientific output of mathematics to describe its structure, notions and scientific origin using the historiographical method. the research data consisted of scientific outputs of mathematics in isi database, science citation index (sci) and social science citation index (ssci) during 8 years (1990 to 2007). the data collection tool was the search engine and ...

The rapidly growing activities in electronic publishing lead to the request to develop global repositories, which care about three fundamental activities: to collect and store the electronic material currently available, to pursue projects for solving the long-term archiving problem for this material with the ambition to preserve the content in readable form for future generations, and to captu...

Scientific journals may counter the misuse, misreporting, and misinterpretation of statistics by providing guidance to authors. We described nature prevalence statistical at 15 (top-ranked Impact Factor) in each 22 scientific disciplines across five high-level domains (N = 330 journals). The frequency varied (Health & Life Sciences: 122/165 journals, 74%; Multidisciplinary: 9/15 60%; Social 8/3...

This writing is done through literature study. object research and learning. subjects were upper class data collection tool search journals contained several electronic media such as digital libraries, internet, Google Scholar. analysis technique used annotated bibliography an...

The question, \Does mathematics need new axioms?", is ambiguous in practically every respect. What do we m e a n b y `mathematics'? What do we m e a n b y `need'? What do we m e a n b y `axioms'? You might e v en ask, What do we m e a n b y `does'? Part of the ambiguity lies in the various points of view from which this question might be considered. The crudest diierence lies between the point ...

Working in various areas of Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Computer Science, I have introduced a number of new insights and novel methods, revealed unexpected links among some seemingly distant subjects, and proposed new research directions and new areas of study. I have presented my findings in four books, over 20 surveys in journals, magazines, and book chapters, over 80 refereed...

With great pleasure we present the special issue in CVS related to the European Multigrid conference, which took place on the island Isola d’Ischia in Italy from 19 to 23 September, 2010. The conference was organized by Alfio Borzi (at that time at the Università degli Studi del Sannio, in Benevento, Italy, now at the University of Würzburg, Germany), and Cornelis Oosterlee, from the CWI—Center...
