Abstract We utilize both analytical and numerical methods to study the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ near a fermionic quantum critical point (QCP) using a model constructed by Xu et al. [Phys. Rev. X 7, 031059 (2017)] as an example. In this model, the bosonic critical fluctuation plays the role of pairing glue for the Cooper pairs, and we use a Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer-type mean-field theory to estimate $T_{\rm c}$. We further argue that the $T_{\rm c}$ computed from the BCS theory approximates a pseudogap temperature $T_{\rm PG}$, instead of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition temperature $T_{\rm KT}$, which is confirmed by our determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulation. Moreover, due to the fact that electron density of state starts to deplete at $T_{\rm PG}$, the critical scaling of the underlying QCP is also affected below $T_{\rm PG}$. Thus, when studying the critical behavior of fermionic QCPs, we need to monitor that the temperature is above $T_{\rm PG}$ instead of $T_{\rm KT}$. This was often ignored in previous studies.
