Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Annals of PDE is published by Springer Nature and is in Zone 1 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition, Top journal). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Mathematical Physics Problems, Navier-Stokes equation solutions and Black Holes and Theoretical Physics, together about 44.3% of its articles. Its main subfields are Applied Mathematics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The principal goal of this journal is to publish articles of the highest scientific value concerning partial differential equations of broad, pure and applied interest.A second, but no less important goal is to facilitate a better awareness of progress made in various fields by researchers in all areas of PDE, highlighting the common core of ideas of the discipline.In this spirit, the editorial board will emphasize the importance of comprehensive introductions, accessible to a general scientific audience, and of timely, up-to-date review articles.The editors intend to offer prizes for the most important contributions and to revive the old tradition of generating prize competitions around well-defined topics.
