About

Aims and scope

The Pacific Journal of Mathematics for Industry is an international, open-access journal, dedicated to enhancing the interaction between mathematics and industrial applications as a two-way process. It publishes original research papers from authors worldwide that illustrate how, through the utilization of mathematical results, questions about industrial problems are answered to yield new insight for both industry and mathematics.

The journal also publishes survey articles that address specific mathematics-for-industry topics from an original perspective. Mathematics for industry is a recent research field in mathematics that aims to create new opportunities for industry, the development of new technologies, and the identification of new focal points for the evolution of mathematics.

Peer-review policy

Peer-review is the system used to assess the quality of a manuscript before it is published. Independent researchers in the relevant research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors determine whether the manuscript should be published in their journal. You can read more about the peer-review process here.

Pacific Journal of Mathematics for Industry operates a single-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous Publication of research articles by Pacific Journal of Mathematics for Industry is dependent primarily on their scientific validity and coherence as judged by our external expert editors and/or peer reviewers, who will also assess whether the writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a useful contribution to the field.

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. Reviewers will also be asked to indicate how interesting and significant the research is. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.
