Information Statements on the Culture of Research and Scholarship in Mathematics

In 2004, the AMS Committee on the Profession decided to create a series of information statements relating to the evaluation of mathematicians. The goal of this series of statements on the culture of research and scholarship in mathematics is to highlight the ways in which the traditions in mathematics differ from those in other disciplines, especially other sciences and engineering.

All statements are posted in PDF format.
