Earlier this month Google released the 2013 edition of Google Scholar metrics. Top 20 journals (and non-journals) in Mathematical Analysis category:
- Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods & Applications
- Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications
- arXiv Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
- Journal of Functional Analysis
- Fixed Point Theory and Applications
- arXiv Functional Analysis (math.FA)
- SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis
- Journal of Differential Equations
- Abstract and Applied Analysis
- Journal of Inequalities and Applications
- Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincare (C) Non Linear Analysis
- arXiv Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)
- Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations
- Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems
- arXiv Operator Algebras (math.OA)
- Indiana University Mathematics Journal
- Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées
- Communications in Partial Differential Equations
- arXiv Complex Variables (math.CV)
- ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations
That’s one weird (and Elsevier-infested) list.
The ratings are based on the total number of citations, not citations per article. The more bloated a journal is, the better it looks. Maintaining an industry of Ctrl-C Ctrl-V generalizations helps too. JMAA scores high on both counts.
