Review process
This page explains how Math Research evaluates submissions. We use a blind selection process, we request at least two independent reviews for papers, and we provide feedback and a clear decision for every submission.

1) Blind selection
We use a blind selection process: reviewers evaluate the work without seeing the author’s identity. This helps reduce bias and keeps the focus on correctness, clarity, and contribution.
2) Minimum number of reviewers
For papers, we request at least two independent reviews.
3) What we review for
- Correctness and mathematical rigor.
- Clarity of exposition and structure.
- Usefulness and relevance to mathematicians.
- Originality (when applicable) and proper attribution.
4) Feedback and notification
Every submission receives feedback. We notify authors about the outcome and, when changes are requested, we indicate what should be improved before publication.
How authors hear back:
- A decision message explaining the result.
- Reviewer feedback (when applicable) with actionable points.
- Next steps and, if needed, a revision request.
5) Possible outcomes
- Accept: the submission is accepted and we make minimal changes to the format.
- Request changes: the author is asked to revise the submission. After changes, it will be reviewed again until the reviewers are ready for a final decision.
- Reject: the submission is not accepted. We still provide a short explanation of the decision.
6) Notes
- This process is described for transparency and may evolve as the journal grows.
- Review timelines may vary depending on reviewer availability and submission complexity.
