Among the 96 papers, six papers have received highest 47.35% of total (708) citations. Average number of authors per paper is 1.61. J.H. William, S.B. Joshi, T.T. Moh and Ikkwon Yie was the main collaborator of him. Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, American Journal of Mathematics, Journal of Algebra and Discrete Mathematics were the most preferred journals of him for to reveal the research findings.
