Thanks, ChrisV and goviks. Without you guys help, I don't even have the courage to answer the RFE. In fact, without this forum, I wouldn't have the gut to DIY EB1A.
I did work hard on the petition letter. But I admit that there must be some points that I overlooked. I really didn't think of the average number of publications in mathematics at asst. prof level? For the top journals in my field, how could I claim, by my references letters?
Anyways, here are the evidences I provided for my best 3 bets.
3. judge of work of others
3.1 I detailed my significant role in an international conference: sitting in the organizing committee, inviting panel speakers, reviewing submitted abstracts and conference proceeding papers, co-chairing a special session. I provided certificate letters from the chair of the organizing committee to confirm my role in the committee and co-chairing a session, also provided the invitation for the proceeding review, as well as the importance of the proceeding journal and positive feedback from attendees.
3.2 The review for five journals with six papers, three international conferences with four proceeding papers. I provided the journals and conferences description, the impact factors of the journals, as well as the invitation letters from the (chief editors).
3.3 A member on the editor board of a new journal. I provided the invitation letter from the chief editor. Because it is a new journal, the first issue hasn't been out yet. I couldn't provide further materials.
3.4 Co-chaired a special session, provided the letter from the organizer.
3.5 Co-organized three international conferences, provided the certificates from the chair of the organizing committee, as well as the description of the conferences.
4. Original contribution
4.1 Thirty-nine citations. I provided the print out from ISI Web of Knowledge, in the letter I highlighted the major three papers work and the number of citations. The top one is with 12 citations. I also carefully explained the long citation span in mathematical contributions, which is why my recently published contributions don't have many citations. However, I did provide email requests for those papers.
4.2 Nine senior researchers confirm the significance of my contribution. They are from USA (Duke U, UTPA), Canada (NRC, U of Alberta), Hong Kong (City U), Germany and UK; two are post doc supervisors, one PhD supervisor, one journal editor, one is my current chair in the department, others are independent (they heard my presentations in the conferences, or cited my work). In their letters, they specifically mentioned my contribution in the papers, and that my work helped their research etc. The journal editor (German) confirmed that I am one of the regular reviewers.
5. Authorship: 16 peer-reviewed papers in 8 journals, 12 conference proceedings and one book chapter.
For each journal I described the importance and the impact factor. I also provided a media paper explaining the low impact factor in mathematics journals. Provided the front page (at least) for each of my papers. For the conference proceedings, I highlighted the importance of some conferences, and provided couple of sample proceeding papers.
Lastly, I didn't claim the following as Exhibits of Art.
6. Presentations: 15 or so conference presentations (some are invited), 5 invited talks at three different universities.
I chose couple of conferences to report. For the invited talks/presentations, I provided the letters or emails.
