Aims & Scope

Differential Equations is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring differential and associated integral equations. The main themes include ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, spectral theory of differential operators, integral and integral–differential equations, and many more. Welcomes manuscripts on difference equations, and their applications in control theory, mathematical modeling, shell theory, and oscillation theory. Welcomes submissions in English from all countries.

Frequently asked questions about Differential Equations

Is Differential Equations a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Differential Equations: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Differential Equations?

Differential Equations is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal — including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles — receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 0.58.

Is Differential Equations indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Differential Equations is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
