Aims and Scope

The main objective of the journal MathematicS in Action is to promote the interactions of Mathematics with other scientific fields (Biology, Medicine, Economics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics,  Environmental sciences, Engineering sciences, etc.) by publishing articles at their interfaces. These articles must be useful and globally accessible to both communities. Thus, the journal favours articles written by ay least two authors, one of them being a mathematician, the other one belonging to another scientific community.  

The papers should address modelling issues (conception, analysis and validation of models),  numerical and/or  experimental methods.

They should preferably include both a mathematical part and, at choice, numerical or experimental results.
They should be very pedagogical on the motivations and the expected impact in both disciplines.

Peer Review Policy

Each submitted paper will be evaluated equally for its mathematical quality and for its interest  to the concerned application field.

To be accepted a paper needs to be of the highest scientific quality, original, and strongly interdisciplinary.

Periodicity

MathematicS in Action publishes 1 issue per year.

Journal Policy

   ► Open Access Policy

Mathematics in Action follows a true Open Access policy:

• Mathematics in Action provides immediate (at the same time the printed version appears), permanent and free online open access to all its content. 
  Submission, acceptance and publication dates are made available on the PDF format for each paper.
• No subscription is needed to access the articles, and no download fees are charged.
• Authors are not charged for publication in this journal (no APC), and the journal does not request any submission fee nor any article processing fee.

   ► Copyright and Licensing policy

• All copyright is retained by authors.
• Starting from 2020, all content is licensed under the Creative Commons BY 4.0 Attribution license (CC BY 4.0). The CC BY license allows users to share (copy, distribute and transmit) and remix (adapt) the contribution including for commercial purposes, providing they mention the author or licensor.

  ► Archiving Policy

Indexed in: the journal is covered by MathSciNet and Zentralblatt Math.

The metadata are available via an OAI-PMH server.To ensure a long term preservation and access to the journal content, it will be stored in the CLOCKSS archive.

Best practices
