Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Mathematical Sciences (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Mathematical Sciences published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
Rank in its subject categories
- Mathematicsrank 97 of 506 journals
- Mathematics, Appliedrank 149 of 353 journals
Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of Mathematical Sciences
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Mathematical Sciences is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.
Citations and papers per year
Article processing charge listed at about US$2,990.
02Fee waivers
APC waivers and discounts for Mathematical Sciences
Mathematical Sciences follows the waiver policy of its publisher, Springer Nature: 100% waiver for low-income countries and 50% for lower-middle income countries (World Bank list with a GDP limit), on request at submission. Only the corresponding author's affiliation counts. Co-authors from other countries do not change the waiver.
Authors affiliated in 25 countries qualify for a full waiver. See the countries →
Waivers apply to fully open access journals. If Mathematical Sciences is a hybrid journal, you can publish without any fee through the subscription route.

Retractions and research integrity at Mathematical Sciences
Most common reasons (a retraction can have several):
Mathematical Sciences has 1 retracted paper in the Retraction Watch database, the latest in Mar 2015. A retraction count is not a verdict on a journal: large journals publish more and journals that investigate actively retract more. The trend and the reasons tell you more than the number.

04How to submit
How to submit to Mathematical Sciences
- Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Mathematical Sciences accepts. Open the official guide for authors and submit from the same page.
- Use the journal's template. Springer Nature offers Word and LaTeX templates for many of its journals. If your manuscript is in Word and the journal wants LaTeX, our LaTeX Template Conversion moves it into the template.
- Check the fit. Compare your title and abstract with the papers it has published; papers outside the scope are the most common reason for a desk rejection. The Journal Finder shows journals that published the closest work.
- Check the fee. Mathematical Sciences is not a fully open access journal, so authors usually pay nothing unless they choose open access for their article or the journal charges page or colour fees. The guide for authors states the current charges.
- Check your manuscript before you submit. The free Submission Readiness Check asks the seven questions our reviewers ask in every audit and takes about 2 minutes.

Is Mathematical Sciences right for your paper? Compare journals
Paste your title, keywords or abstract. See the journals that published the closest papers, with indexing, impact factor, review time and APC.
No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 156,503 real published journal papers, by our mentors and by other researchers (shown without names); journals are ranked by how many closely matching papers they published. Indexing comes from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR 2024 lists, matched by journal name; the impact factor is calculated from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time comes from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref (not every publisher deposits them). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
11Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the impact factor of Mathematical Sciences?
Based on OpenAlex citation data (October 2026), the 2-year impact factor of Mathematical Sciences is 1.29: papers it published in the two previous years were cited 1.29 times on average in a year. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so Clarivate also publishes an official Journal Impact Factor, which can differ.
What is the h-index of Mathematical Sciences?
The h-index of Mathematical Sciences is 35 (OpenAlex, October 2026): 35 of its papers have each been cited at least 35 times. Its i10-index is 177.
What is the APC of Mathematical Sciences?
OpenAlex lists an article processing charge (APC) of about US$2,990 for Mathematical Sciences (data from October 2026). APCs change and can differ by article type, country or discounts, so confirm the current charge on the journal’s website before submitting.
What is the quartile of Mathematical Sciences?
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Mathematical Sciences is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.
Is Mathematical Sciences indexed in Scopus?
Yes. Mathematical Sciences appears in the Scopus list, according to the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab (updated 1 March 2026). Always confirm the current status on the official list before submitting.
Is Mathematical Sciences an SCIE journal?
Yes. Mathematical Sciences is listed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), according to the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab (updated 1 March 2026). Always confirm the current status on the official list before submitting.
Is Mathematical Sciences in Journal Citation Reports (JCR)?
Yes. Mathematical Sciences is listed in JCR 2024, so it has a Journal Impact Factor. For the current impact factor and quartile, check Journal Citation Reports.
How many papers published in Mathematical Sciences does ScholarsColab track?
We track 1 paper published in Mathematical Sciences in 2025, cited 0 times in total, with a median of 0 citations per paper.
Does Mathematical Sciences offer an APC waiver?
Mathematical Sciences follows the policy of Springer Nature: 100% waiver for low-income countries and 50% for lower-middle income countries (World Bank list with a GDP limit), on request at submission. Only the corresponding author's affiliation counts. Co-authors from other countries do not change the waiver. Rules verified 27 October 2026; confirm on the publisher's page.
Has Mathematical Sciences retracted papers?
Yes. The Retraction Watch database lists 1 retracted paper in Mathematical Sciences, 0 of them in the last 10 years; the most common reasons are duplication of/in article. A retraction count alone is not a verdict on a journal; look at the trend and the reasons. Data updated October 2026.
