Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Applied General Topology is published by Universitat Politècnica de València and is in Zone 4 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Topology and Set Theory, Fuzzy and Soft Set Theory and Fixed Point Theorems Analysis, together about 42.4% of its articles. Its main subfields are Mathematical Physics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The international journal Applied General Topology publishes only original research papers (not previously published and not submitted at the same time to other journal) related to the interactions between General Topology and other mathematical disciplines as well as topological results with applications to other areas of Science, and the development of topological theories of sufficiently general relevance to allow for future applications.Papers dealing with generalizations or modifications of topological spaces and their basic properties, mappings between (generalized) topological spaces, or separation axioms, will not be considered.Since Applied General Topology is a generalist journal we will not consider for publication very specialized papers which could not be of interest for a wide audience. Applied General Topology accepted the 22% of the original articles submitted during the years 2017 and 2018. Past years the rate of acceptance was: 33% in 2016; 18% in 2015.
