Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Mathematical Programming (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Mathematical Programming published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
Rank in its subject categories
- Mathematics, Appliedrank 83 of 353 journals
- Operations Research & Management Sciencerank 64 of 115 journals
- Computer Science, Software Engineeringrank 81 of 134 journals
Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of Mathematical Programming
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Mathematical Programming is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.

02Review time
Review time of Mathematical Programming
Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles Mathematical Programming published between May 2025 and Oct 2026 were accepted within 428 days of submission, and the middle half took between 325 and 591 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.
In Mathematics, Applied, Mathematical Programming ranks 107 of 112 journals by review time (1 = fastest). See the fastest-review journals in Mathematics, Applied →
03Fee waivers
APC waivers and discounts for Mathematical Programming
Mathematical Programming follows the waiver policy of its publisher, Springer Nature: 100% waiver for low-income countries and 50% for lower-middle income countries (World Bank list with a GDP limit), on request at submission. Only the corresponding author's affiliation counts. Co-authors from other countries do not change the waiver.
Authors affiliated in 25 countries qualify for a full waiver. See the countries →
Waivers apply to fully open access journals. If Mathematical Programming is a hybrid journal, you can publish without any fee through the subscription route.

No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 156,503 real published journal papers, by our mentors and by other researchers (shown without names); journals are ranked by how many closely matching papers they published. Indexing comes from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR 2024 lists, matched by journal name; the impact factor is calculated from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time comes from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref (not every publisher deposits them). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
10Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long is the review time of Mathematical Programming?
Based on 192 research articles Mathematical Programming published from May 2025 to Oct 2026, the median time from submission to acceptance was 428 days, and half of them were accepted between 325 and 591 days. After acceptance, papers appeared online after a median of 24 days. Source: received and accepted dates deposited by the publisher in Crossref, retrieved October 2026. Individual papers can take longer, especially with major revisions.
What is the impact factor of Mathematical Programming?
Based on OpenAlex citation data (October 2026), the 2-year impact factor of Mathematical Programming is 1.98: papers it published in the two previous years were cited 1.98 times on average in a year. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so Clarivate also publishes an official Journal Impact Factor, which can differ.
What is the h-index of Mathematical Programming?
The h-index of Mathematical Programming is 241 (OpenAlex, October 2026): 241 of its papers have each been cited at least 241 times. Its i10-index is 3,615.
What is the APC of Mathematical Programming?
OpenAlex lists an article processing charge (APC) of about US$3,090 for Mathematical Programming (data from October 2026). APCs change and can differ by article type, country or discounts, so confirm the current charge on the journal’s website before submitting.
What is the quartile of Mathematical Programming?
