Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Reviews in Mathematical Physics is published by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd and is in Zone 3 of Physics & Astronomy in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Spectral Theory in Mathematical Physics, Algebraic structures and combinatorial models and Advanced Topics in Algebra, together about 28.6% of its articles. Its main subfields are Mathematical Physics and Statistical and Nonlinear Physics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Reviews in Mathematical Physics fills the need for a review journal in the field, but also accepts original research papers of high quality. The review papers - introductory and survey papers - are of relevance not only to mathematical physicists, but also to mathematicians and theoretical physicists interested in interdisciplinary topics. Original research papers are not subject to page limitations provided they are of importance to this readership. It is desirable that such papers have an expository part understandable to a wider readership than experts. Papers with the character of a scientific letter are usually not suitable for RMP.
