The journal is published on behalf of the Mathematical Sciences of the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG) Royal Dutch Mathematical SocietyIndagationes Mathematicae is a peer-reviewed international journal for the Mathematical Sciences of the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society.The journal aims at the publication of original mathematical research papers of high quality and of interest to a large segment of the mathematics community. The journal also welcomes the submission of review papers of high quality. In order to enhance accessibility to the research published in Indagationes, only papers which have been uploaded to the ArXiv will be considered.FAST TRACK The journal is committed to handle submissions not exceeding 15 pages within six months. In case of acceptance they will be published online within 2 months.We recognize that in recent years a growing number of researchers have chosen to publish in Open Access. As a Hybrid OA journal, Indagationes Mathematicae is included in Elsevier's transformative agreements, helping authors affiliated with member institutions of participating organizations to publish their research open access without having to pay an APC (i.e. at no charge to the author) while still relying on high-quality peer-review and experienced editorial support. The cost of publishing open access is covered under the terms of the agreement. Please follow this link for the current list of agreements and participating organizations.
