How many SCI journals are there in Mathematics?
As of October 2026, JournalCompass lists 856 journals in the Mathematics major category of the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition): 51 in Zone 1, 97 in Zone 2, 153 in Zone 3 and 536 in Zone 4, 60 of them Top journals. By database: SCIE 565, SSCI 7, A&HCI 5 and ESCI 269 (a journal can be indexed in more than one).
Which Mathematics journals are in CAS Zone 1?
By impact factor, the Zone 1 journals in Mathematics include Acta Numerica (impact factor 12.46), Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application (impact factor 9.65), SIAM Review (impact factor 8.16), Acta Mathematica (impact factor 7.17), Cambridge Journal of Mathematics (impact factor 5.83), 51 in all; see the full list of Zone 1 Mathematics journals.
Which Mathematics journals have fast peer review?
Across the 686 Mathematics journals with review-time data, the median review time is about 20.3 weeks. Among Zone 1–2 journals, fast ones include Transactions of the American Mathematical Society (about 4.5 weeks, community reports), SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis (about 5.5 weeks, community reports), International Mathematics Research Notices (about 5.5 weeks, community reports), SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (about 6 weeks, community reports), SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (about 6 weeks, community reports). Review times come first from article statistics (the median from submission to acceptance over the last 24 months), then from publisher figures and community reports; a single manuscript can take much longer or shorter.
Which Mathematics journals charge no APC?
114 journals in Mathematics charge authors no article processing charge (APC); those with the highest impact factors include Annals of Mathematics (impact factor 4.8), Annales Mathematicae Silesianae (impact factor 4), Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis-Studia Mathematica (impact factor 3), Constructive Mathematical Analysis (impact factor 2.9), ANNALES DE L INSTITUT HENRI POINCARE-ANALYSE NON LINEAIRE (impact factor 2.83); see the list of Mathematics journals with no APC. Subscription journals usually charge no APC but may charge for colour figures or extra pages; check the journal's website before submitting.
