Open Access Mathematics & Computer Science Journals
ACM Journal - Digital Government: Research and PracticeDigital Government: Research and Practice (DGOV) is an interdisciplinary Gold Open Access journal that focuses on the potential and impact of technology on governance innovations and its transformation of public institutions. It promotes applied and empirical research from academics, practitioners, designers, and technologists, using political, policy, social, computer, and data sciences methodologies.
ACM Journal - Digital Threats: Research and PracticeDigital Threats: Research and Practice (DTRAP) is a peer-reviewed Gold Open Access journal that targets the prevention, identification, mitigation, and elimination of digital threats. DTRAP aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industry practice. Accordingly, the journal welcomes manuscripts that address extant digital threats, rather than laboratory models of potential threats, and presents reproducible results pertaining to real-world threats.
ACM Journal - Formal Aspects of ComputingFormal Aspects of Computing: Applicable Formal Methods (FAC) is a Gold Open Access journal publishing contributions at the junction of theory and practice. The objective is to disseminate applicable research. Thus, new theoretical contributions are welcome where they are motivated by potential application; applications of existing formalisms are of interest if they show something novel about the approach or application.
Bulletin of the American Mathematical SocietyThe American Mathematical Society makes all issues of the Bulletin freely available to all mathematicians through the generosity of its members.
Conformal Geometry and DynamicsThe purpose of this electronic-only journal is to provide a forum for mathematical work in related fields broadly described as conformal geometry and dynamics. These include complex dynamics--and real dynamics using complex techniques--Kleinian groups, hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and quasiconformal mappings.
Discrete Analysis JournalDiscrete Analysis is a mathematical journal that aims to publish articles that are analytical in flavour but that also have an impact on the study of discrete structures. The areas covered include (all or parts of) harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, topological dynamics, growth in groups, analytic number theory, additive combinatorics, combinatorial number theory, extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, combinatorial geometry, convexity, metric geometry, and theoretical computer science. As a rough guideline, we are looking for papers that are likely to be of genuine interest to the editors of the journal.
Discrete Analysis is grateful for financial support from Cambridge University and the Stanhill Foundation.
The Electronic Journal of CombinatoricsThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics (E-JC) is a fully-refereed electronic journal with very high standards, publishing papers of substantial content and interest in all branches of discrete mathematics, including combinatorics, graph theory, and algorithms for combinatorial problems.All submissions are refereed to the highest standard, to make sure that they are original, correct and substantial. The median time from submission to publication is 6 months.The main web site of the Journal is hosted by the Research School of Computer Science at the Australian National University, and was previously hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Journal of Problem Solving (JPS)The Journal of Problem Solving (JPS) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes empirical and theoretical papers on mental mechanisms involved in problem solving. The journal welcomes original and rigorous research in all areas of human problem solving, with special interest in those difficult problems in which human beings outperform artificial systems. JPS encourages submissions from psychology, computer science, mathematics, operations research, and neuroscience.
PeerJ Computer SciencePeerJ Computer Science is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal. It considers articles across the whole of Computer Science. PeerJ Computer Science only considers Research Articles. PeerJ Computer Science evaluates articles based only on an objective determination of scientific and methodological soundness, not on subjective determinations of 'impact' or 'readership' for example.
Proceedings of the AMS, Series BThis gold open access electronic-only journal is devoted to shorter research articles (not to exceed 15 published pages) in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Proceedings, Series B, a paper must be correct, new, and significant.
Quanta MagazineThe Simons Foundation’s mission is to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences.
Co-founded in New York City by Jim and Marilyn Simons, the foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2014.
The Simons Foundation at its core exists to support basic — or discovery-driven — scientific research, undertaken in pursuit of understanding the phenomena of our world.
Representation TheoryThis electronic-only journal is devoted to research in representation theory and seeks to maintain a high standard for exposition as well as for mathematical content.
Transactions of the AMS, Series BThis gold open access electronic-only journal is devoted to research articles in all areas of pure and applied mathematics
The Épijournal de Géometrie AlgébriqueÉpijournal de Géométrie Algébrique publishes original research articles written in English or French. The scope of the journal covers algebraic geometry in a broad sense, including complex or arithmetic geometry, algebraic groups and representation theory. It also aims at promoting the Épisciences platform.
Peer-review Process
The quality of the articles submitted to Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique is assessed along a classical peer-review process (single-blind peer-review process).
One editor is in charge of the article and chooses one or several reviewers to give their assessment (within at most 3 months).
According to these reports, the editor makes up his or her mind about the article. In case of a positive opinion, the other editors are informed.
The final decision is taken commonly. During 30 days the other editors can consult the reports and give their (argued) opinion concerning the acceptance of the article. After this one-month notice period, the author is informed of the final decision.
Original Material
Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique publishes original studies that have not been published elsewhere. Any form of plagiarism would imply rejection of the article.
