Aims, scope and focus
Art of Discrete and Applied Mathematics is published by University of Primorska. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Graph Theory Research, Finite Group Theory Research and Advanced Combinatorial Mathematics, together about 50.4% of its articles. Its main subfields are Computational Theory and Mathematics and Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The Art of Discrete and Applied Mathematics (ADAM) is a modern, dynamic, platinum open access, electronic journal publishing high-quality articles of arbitrary length in contemporary discrete and applied mathematics in which neither the authors nor the readers incur any costs. Short notes are welcome, as well as extra long articles with numerous drawings, tables or long proofs. Articles may be accompanied by computer programs and data. The scope of ADAM is dynamic and includes but is not limited to the scope of its parent journal Ars Mathematica Contemporanea (AMC). In addition, ADAM publishes papers in pure and applied graph theory and combinatorics. High quality papers from chemical graph theory are also welcome. ADAM considers all papers closely associated with the research interests of members of its editorial board. The structure of the editorial board is adjusted occasionally to reflect new interests of authors and readers. ADAM publishes special editions dedicated to a single topic or to the proceedings of a conference or workshop. Normally, such special editions are proposed by a member of the editorial board of ADAM, and in such cases, at least one of the guest editors is a member of the editorial board of ADAM. This journal adheres to the EMS Code of Practice approved by the European Mathematical Society Executive Committee on 29 October 2012.
