Aims & Scope

The Journal of Spectral Theory is devoted to the publication of research articles that focus on spectral theory and its many areas of application. The following list includes several aspects of spectral theory and also fields which feature substantial applications of (or to) spectral theory. SchrΓΆdinger operators, scattering theory and resonances; Eigenvalues: perturbation theory, asymptotics and inequalities; Quantum graphs, graph Laplacians; Pseudo-differential operators and semi-classical analysis; Random matrix theory; The Anderson model and other random media; Non-self-adjoint matrices and operators, including Toeplitz operators; Spectral geometry, including manifolds and automorphic forms; Linear and nonlinear differential operators, especially those arising in geometry and physics; Orthogonal polynomials; Inverse problems.

Frequently asked questions about Journal of Spectral Theory

Is Journal of Spectral Theory a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Journal of Spectral Theory: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 96/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Journal of Spectral Theory?

Journal of Spectral Theory 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 β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” 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 PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date.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 1.46.

Is Journal of Spectral Theory indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Journal of Spectral Theory is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ.
