Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Networks and Heterogeneous Media is published by American Institute of Mathematical Sciences 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 Mathematical Modeling in Engineering, Traffic control and management and Advanced Numerical Methods in Computational Mathematics, together about 24.8% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
NHM offers a strong combination of three features: Interdisciplinary character, specific focus, and deep mathematical content. Also, the journal aims to create a link between the discrete and the continuous communities, which distinguishes it from other journals with strong PDE orientation. NHM publishes original contributions of high quality in networks, heterogeneous media and related fields. NHM is thus devoted to research work on complex media arising in mathematical, physical, engineering, socio-economical and bio-medical problems.
