History of the Annals of Mathematics
How the Journal Started
The journal first began in 1874. It was called The Analyst back then. Joel E. Hendricks was its first main editor. The goal was to share new and interesting discoveries in math. This included pure math, applied math, astronomy, and engineering.
It was published in Des Moines, Iowa. The Analyst was the first American math journal to be published for many years in a row. It stopped in 1883 because Mr. Hendricks was not well.
Becoming the Annals of Mathematics
Mr. Hendricks made sure the journal would continue. In March 1884, it started again as the Annals of Mathematics. Ormond Stone from the University of Virginia became the new editor.
The journal moved to Harvard University in 1899. Then, in 1911, it found its current home at Princeton University.
A Key Editor's Influence
A very important time for the journal was from 1928 to 1958. During these years, Solomon Lefschetz was the editor. He helped set very high standards for the journal. This pushed American mathematicians to do their best work.
Working Together
Princeton University published the Annals by itself for a while. But in 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study joined in. They started working together to edit and publish the journal.
Since 1998, you can read the Annals online. At first, the online version was free. But since 2008, you usually have to pay to read new articles. Older articles (from before 2003) are in an archive called JSTOR. Articles become free to read online five years after they are published.
How the Journal is Ranked
What is Abstracting and Indexing?
Journals like the Annals of Mathematics are "abstracted and indexed." This means that their articles are listed in special databases. These databases help scientists and researchers find important papers. The Annals is listed in places like the Science Citation Index and Scopus.
Journal's Impact
The Annals of Mathematics is a very respected journal. Its "impact factor" shows how often its articles are cited by other researchers. In 2020, its impact factor was 5.246. This means it was ranked third out of 330 journals in the "Mathematics" group. This shows it is one of the most important math journals in the world.
