Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications

Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications is published by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd 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 Geometric and Algebraic Topology, Homotopy and Cohomology in Algebraic Topology and Advanced Combinatorial Mathematics, together about 62.4% of its articles. Its main subfields are Geometry and Topology and Mathematical Physics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)

This Journal is intended as a forum for new developments in knot theory, particularly developments that create connections between knot theory and other aspects of mathematics and natural science. Our stance is interdisciplinary due to the nature of the subject. Knot theory as a core mathematical discipline is subject to many forms of generalization (virtual knots and links, higher-dimensional knots, knots and links in other manifolds, non-spherical knots, recursive systems analogous to knotting). Knots live in a wider mathematical framework (classification of three and higher dimensional manifolds, statistical mechanics and quantum theory, quantum groups, combinatorics of Gauss codes, combinatorics, algorithms and computational complexity, category theory and categorification of topological and algebraic structures, algebraic topology, topological quantum field theories). Papers that will be published include: -new research in the theory of knots and links, and their applications; -new research in related fields; -tutorial and review papers. With this Journal, we hope to serve well researchers in knot theory and related areas of topology, researchers using knot theory in their work, and scientists interested in becoming informed about current work in the theory of knots and its ramifications.
