About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Journal of Mathematics and Scientific Computing With Applications is a broad-based journal covering all branches of computational or applied mathematics with special encouragement to researchers in theoretical computer science and mathematical computing. Major areas, such as numerical analysis, discrete optimization, linear and nonlinear programming, theory of computation, control theory, theory of algorithms, computational logic, applied combinatorics, coding theory, cryptographic, fuzzy theory with applications, differential equations with applications are all included. A large variety of scientific problems also necessarily involve Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Probability, and Statistics, and so on. The journal welcomes research papers in all branches of mathematics that have some bearing on the application to scientific problems, including papers in the areas of Actuarial Science, Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Economics, and Finance.

Peer Review Process

All manuscripts will be subject to editorial review and double-blind peer reviews. Papers that do not meet the criteria for inclusion or are otherwise inappropriate will be rejected without external review. Manuscripts judged to be appropriate for inclusion in the JMSCOWA are sent for formal review. Typically two experts review each paper; however, they may be subjected to more advanced scrutiny if more specialized advice is needed regarding statistics or techniques. Based on the reviewer's comments, the editors will then accept or reject the papers with the following conditions: (1) Accept and publish, with or without editorial revisions, (2) Invite the authors to revise their manuscript and address specific concerns, (3) Reject the article outright, typically on the grounds of lack of originality, insufficient conceptual advancements or major technical and/or interpretational problems. Any changes made to the original manuscript will be clearly stated for the authors to review. The authors should carefully examine sentence structure, the completeness, and accuracy of the text, references, tables, and graphic contents of the revised manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief will have the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts. The Editorial Board reserves the right to edit articles on all aspects of style, format, and clarity. Manuscripts with excessive errors in any aspect, i.e., spelling or punctuation, will be returned to authors for revision before resubmission or may be rejected entirely.

The JMSCOWA welcomes recommendations from reviewers regarding edits to prospective manuscripts. However, in the event of conflicting advice from reviewers, the editors will make a final decision on the course of action. Editors will evaluate the reports from each reviewer, relevant comments made by the authors, and any other information that may not be available to either party before reaching a decision. The JMSCOWA's primary responsibilities are to our readers and the scientific community at large. In deciding how best to serve them, we must assess the validity and reliability of each paper against the many others also under consideration. We may return to reviewers for further advice, particularly when they disagree with each other or where the authors believe they have been misunderstood on certain points. Therefore reviewers should be willing to provide follow-up advice when requested. Editors are aware that reviewers may be reluctant to be drawn into prolonged disputes and will keep consultations to the minimum we judge necessary to provide a fair hearing for the authors. When reviewers agree to assess a paper, the editors consider this a commitment to review subsequent revisions if necessary. The editors will not resubmit a paperback to the reviewers if the authors have not made a serious attempt to address the initial concerns. The JMSCOWA takes reviewers' feedback and criticisms seriously. In particular, editors are very reluctant to disregard technical criticisms. In cases where one reviewer alone opposes publication, editors may consult the other reviewers on whether they are applying an unduly critical standard. Editors may occasionally bring in additional reviewers to resolve disputes. However, we prefer to avoid doing so unless there is a specific issue, for example, a specialist technical problem.

Publication Frequency

Journal of Mathematics and Scientific Computing With Applications is published 2 times per year (January - June).

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Authorship and Plagiarism

Authorship of articles should be limited to those who have contributed sufficiently to take public responsibility for the contents. These contributions include (a) conception and design, analysis and interpretation of data, or both; (b) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; (c) final approval of the version to be published; and (d) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work by ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. The journal interprets submission to the JMSCOWA to mean that all the listed authors have agreed with all of the article's content. The corresponding (submitting) author is responsible for ensuring that this agreement has been reached and managing all communication between the journal and co-authors before and after publication. Any requests for changes to the author list after submissions, such as a change in the order of the authors or the deletion or addition of authors, need to be accompanied by a letter signed by all original authors. The letter should be scanned and e-mailed to jmscowa.org by the submitting author. The JMSCOWA editors assume that on multi-group collaborations, one member of each collaboration, usually the most senior member of each submitting group, has accepted responsibility for the contributions to the manuscript from their team.

It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure that:

1. The article is an original work and does not involve fraud, fabrication, or plagiarism.
2. The article has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If accepted by the JMSCOWA, the article will not be submitted for publication to any other journal.
3. The article contains no defamatory or unlawful statements and does not contain any materials that infringe upon individual privacy, proprietary rights, or any statutory copyright.
4. They have written permission from owners for any excerpts from copyrighted works included and have credited the sources from where they were obtained.
5. All authors have made significant contributions to the study, including the conception and design of the article, the analysis of the data, and the writing of the manuscript.
6. All authors have reviewed the manuscript, take responsibility for its content, and approve its publication.
7. All authors are aware of and agree to the terms of this publishing agreement.

Every article submitted to the JMSCOWA is screened by iThenticate software.

 

Publication Charges

The JMSCOWA is an open-access journal; it does not charge readers or institutes for access. There are no charges for submitting a manuscript, article processing, publication of manuscripts, or color reproduction of photographs.

Copyright

The journal and respective authors hold exclusive copyrights of all materials published in the JMSCOWA. Any reproduction of material from the journal without proper acknowledgment or prior permission will result in an infringement of intellectual property laws. Written acceptance of the Journal Publishing Agreement (JPA) is required before the article can be published.

Complaints

Any authors who may have grievances about any aspect of their interaction with the JMSCOWA should e-mail the Editor-in-Chief at jmscowa.org Every effort will be made to acknowledge the complaint within 7 days of receiving it. If required, the Editor-in-Chief will consult with other editors regarding the complaint. The Editor-in-Chief will liaise directly with the complainant and thoroughly explain the steps they have taken to resolve the matter.
