N. Aronszajn "Theory of reproducing kernels," Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, vol. 68, no. 3, pp. 337-404, 1950, doi: 10.1090/s0002-9947-1950-0051437-7.

IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Transactions of the American Mathematical Society against your target publication's reference list before submitting.

APA

Aronszajn, N. (1950). Theory of reproducing kernels. Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 68(3), 337-404. https://doi.org/10.1090/s0002-9947-1950-0051437-7

APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.

BibTeX

@article{aronszajn1950,
  author  = {N. Aronszajn},
  title   = {Theory of reproducing kernels},
  journal = {Transactions of the American Mathematical Society},
  volume  = {68},
  number  = {3},
  pages   = {337--404},
  year    = {1950},

  doi     = {10.1090/s0002-9947-1950-0051437-7}

The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.

What to verify before you submit

  • The volume and page range. Transactions of the American Mathematical Society records 32,466 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
  • The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
  • Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
  • Whether the article is open access. This journal is not fully open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
  • That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

How this journal sits in the record

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society carries an h-index of 267, which is above 15% of the journals covered here, and its articles have accumulated 707,673 citations across 32,466 indexed works. Its two-year mean citedness is 1.21.

American Mathematical Society is the only publisher of this title in the set covered here, so check its own author guidance for reference style.

These are indexing figures describing how often work in this venue is cited. They say nothing about whether a particular article is sound, and they are not a substitute for reading it.

Questions about Transactions of the American Mathematical Society

What is the ISSN of Transactions of the American Mathematical Society?

The linking ISSN is 0002-9947. The journal also carries 1088-6850, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.

Who publishes Transactions of the American Mathematical Society?

American Mathematical Society publishes it. Check the journal's own author guidance rather than a general publisher template, because reference style is set per title.

Is Transactions of the American Mathematical Society open access?

OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.

How do I cite an article from Transactions of the American Mathematical Society in LaTeX?

Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key aronszajn1950 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.

Does Transactions of the American Mathematical Society use page numbers or article numbers?

The example article runs from page 337 to 404, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.

How influential is Transactions of the American Mathematical Society?

Its h-index is 267, above 15% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 707,673 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 1.21. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.

Does Transactions of the American Mathematical Society have a Journal Impact Factor?

Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 267 and a two-year mean citedness of 1.21 across 32,466 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
