SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing

SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing is published by Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Publications and is in Zone 2 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition, Top journal). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Numerical Methods in Computational Mathematics, Matrix Theory and Algorithms and Numerical methods for differential equations, together about 35.4% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)

The purpose of SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (SISC) is to advance computational methods for solving scientific and engineering problems. SISC papers are classified into three categories: 1. Methods and Algorithms for Scientific Computing: Papers in this category may include theoretical analysis, provided that the relevance to applications in science and engineering is demonstrated. They should contain meaningful computational results and theoretical results or strong heuristics supporting the performance of new algorithms. 2. Computational Methods in Science and Engineering: Papers in this section will typically describe novel methodologies for solving a specific problem in computational science or engineering. They should contain enough information about the application to orient other computational scientists but should omit details of interest mainly to the applications specialist. 3. Software and High-Performance Computing: Papers in this category should concern the novel design and development of computational methods and high-quality software, parallel algorithms, high-performance computing issues, new architectures, data analysis, or visualization. The primary focus should be on computational methods that have potentially large impact for an important class of scientific or engineering problems.
