Strong performance from maths portfolio in 2020 Journal Impact Factors from Clarivate

MMNP ranks Q1 following ground-breaking move to Subscribe-to-Open in 2020

Paris, France, 8 July 2021: We are pleased to report that our mathematics journals have performed particularly well in this year’s Journal Impact Factors ™ from Clarivate. The star performer is Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena (MMNP) which increased by 153% (from 1.642 to 4.157) having already increased by 73% last year. It is now ranked 13/108 in “Mathematics, Interdisciplinary Applications”, 6/265 in “Mathematics, Applied” and 10/58 in “Mathematical & Computational Biology” – all Q1 or the top 25% of the world’s most-cited journals. Indeed, every EDP Sciences maths journal indexed in Web of Science ™ has received an increased impact factor contributing to an unprecedented year in which all eligible EDP Sciences journals increased.

Call for Papers: Coronavirus: scientific insights and societal aspects (March 2020)

UPDATE (2020-05-07)
The journal has received numerous papers with the application of conventional epidemiological models (SIR, SEIR) to describe Covid-19 epidemic progression in different countries. To avoid the repetition of similar models and results, we will restrict the consideration of such works and will privilege other directions of mathematical modelling related to the immune response, pathophysiology, virology, etc.

The COVID-19 epidemic is provoking numerous questions at all levels. It also shows that modern society is extremely vulnerable and unprepared to such events. A wide scientific and public discussion becomes necessary. This special issue of MMNP will publish scientific papers in a broad range of topics related to coronavirus infection and epidemic, reports and data analysis, as well as more general prospective articles. The special issue will contain a mixture of invited articles, and spontaneous submissions. If you would like to submit an article, please visit the MMNP submission site. Please ensure you select the article type “Coronavirus: scientific insights and societal aspects”.

In order to accelerate the publication of papers, articles will be reviewed by members of the editorial board. The publication process will be fast-tracked as the timely availability of research is crucial to meeting and overcoming the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic. Your article will be published in open access free of charge, under EDP Sciences’ “Subscribe to Open” programme.

Change of Web of Science categories for MMNP (August 2019)

Publisher’s Note

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena is a journal whose primary focus is mathematics, applied to non-mathematics disciplines. Yet, this was not reflected in the categories in which the journal is indexed in the major citation databases : Web of Science and Scopus.

Electronic submission and management of manuscripts for MMNP (July 2017)

MMNP is happy to announce that electronic submission of papers is now available via the widely used Editorial Manager system.

This change of the submission process will facilitate access to manuscripts by authors, reviewers and members of the Editorial Board, and will lead to a smoother reviewing process.

MMNP will move to online-only publication at the start of 2016 (november 2015)

EDP Sciences is pleased to announce that Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena will move to online-only publication from the beginning of 2016.

EDP Sciences is always considering ways to best serve their partners to reflect the needs of the readers of their journals and the libraries that subscribe to them. In recent years, it has become clear that the demand of the market is moving rapidly towards the electronic edition of journals, with the print version becoming less important.
