Aims & Scope
Mathematical Programming, the official journal of the Mathematical Optimization Society, is dedicated to publishing original articles that address every facet of mathematical optimization. This includes all considerations related to the optimization of a functions of multiple variables, often subject to a set of constraints. The journal covers a wide spectrum of topics, encompassing both theoretical and computational issues, as well as application studies. The range of subjects covered includes standard topics such as linear, nonlinear, integer, conic, stochastic, and combinatorial optimization. Additionally, the journal explores techniques for formulating and applying mathematical programming models, convex, nonsmooth, and variational analysis, the theory of polyhedra, variational inequalities, and control and game theory viewed through the lens of mathematical programming. The editorial boards express particular interest in novel applications of mathematical programming and intersections with engineering, economics, and computer science. Mathematical Programming is divided into two series. Series A publishes original research articles, expositions, surveys, and short communications that contribute novel and significant insights to the field of mathematical optimization; it also provides a platform for reports on new or innovative practical applications. Series B, on the other hand, focuses on a single subject of current interest to the mathematical programming community, with each issue having one or more guest editors who may not necessarily be members of the editorial board. An issue of Series B may take the form of a collection of original articles, a single research monograph, or a selection of papers from a conference. Articles primarily concerned with computational issues such as implementation and testing should in general be submitted to Mathematical Programming Computation.

Frequently asked questions about Mathematical Programming
Is Mathematical Programming a predatory journal?
PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Mathematical Programming: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 90/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.
What is the impact factor of Mathematical Programming?
Mathematical Programming 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 1.50.
