Abstract
This paper studies scientific commercial journals in the fields of physics and mathematics. We study the changes in the number of authors, number of pages, and number of citations per paper. We also study the fluctuations in the number of papers each scientist will publish in a lifetime. The factors we consider include: the number of large collaborations, the pressure on each scientist to publish, and funding availability.
