References/Endnotes

1. ^ This claim avoids claiming the journal is the oldest or first, as the Annals of Mathematics, which started out as the Analyst in 1874, arguably holds that distinction. The change in name occurred at the end of 1883 along with a change of management and a pause in publication (for two months). Apparently the basis for AJM's claim of oldest "in continuous publication" is based on the name change and/or the infrequent publication of the Annals in the years 1894-1902 (one issue approx. every two years). In comparison AJM published one issue each year in 1881, 1882, one issue in the years 1883-1884, instead of the usual four each year prior. The journal website does not specify from which year "continuous publication" began. Without an agreed upon definition of "continuous publication", the correctness of AJM's claim cannot be properly evaluated. (Publishing data from JSTOR.)
