Mathematical research papers in general science journals
I just tried this myself and found that typing "Science" in the "Journal" search box does not have the desired effect; instead, I had to go to the Journals tab, type "Science" there, and scroll through …

Papers in which the questions were more interesting than the results
The importance of Subhash Khot's paper on the Unique Games Conjecture derives primarily from the significance of the conjecture that he introduced, which has stimulated an enormous amount of research …

Papers in which the questions were more interesting than the results
The $n!$ conjecture is perhaps another near-miss. It was posed 25 years ago by Garsia and Haiman, and the ideas in the paper are interesting and non-trivial, but the conjecture itself was probably th …

How do I fix someone's published error?
I was once in a situation similar to yours. The author acknowledged the error and in principle agreed to publish an erratum, but it gradually became clear that the author would probably never get aro …

Obsessive editing/revising of math papers
I don't think that you should be asking about what is "normal." You should instead be asking whether your revisions are improving your paper. If your revisions are improving your paper then it's goo …

Publishing papers that became classics before they were submitted
There are countless examples, especially if one includes the publication of the Nachlass of a deceased mathematician. Let me mention just one example that I have been looking forward to.
The book Inte …

Where to publish new mathematical identities?
As Peter Heinig commented, if the mathematics behind the identity is novel and important enough, then you should select a journal like you would select a journal for any other paper—if it's a combinat …

The editor wrote the paper for me
[Comments combined into a community wiki answer.]

When to publish minor results?

Adding something to a book from an unpublished paper
If the overlapping material is being reproduced verbatim (or nearly so), then technically, if you assign the copyright to the book publisher first, then you have to obtain the permission of the book p …

Publication rates in Mathematics
The Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities, as part of its scoring process, does count publications per university per discipline. However, when I looked at the current repor …

Do empirical studies have a place in contemporary mathematics research?
coudy's answer, pointing you to the Experimental Mathematics, is the right answer, and there are already other MO questions about experimental mathematics that are relevant, but I can't resist giving …

Math papers where the only issue is that someone else could've done it but didn't
Let me take the liberty of rephrasing the question slightly. Does the mathematical community put undue emphasis on accomplishing something "difficult," and thereby undervalue certain highly original t …

Papers with a large number of coauthors
This is a matter of opinion, but whatever the policy is, it should be consistently applied. If D.H.J. Polymath is allowed to post papers without listing the members, then other collaborations should …

Where can I access American Mathematical Monthly problems given an index?
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any particularly easy way to find a specific problem given its index number, but let me summarize some of the comments (and add some of my own) in a community wiki …
