About Discrete Mathematics


Discrete Mathematics is a journal covering the technologies/fields/categories related to Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics (Q1); Theoretical Computer Science (Q2). It is published by Elsevier B.V.. The overall rank of Discrete Mathematics is 5849. According to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), this journal is ranked 0.884. SCImago Journal Rank is an indicator, which measures the scientific influence of journals. It considers the number of citations received by a journal and the importance of the journals from where these citations come. SJR acts as an alternative to the Journal Impact Factor (or an average number of citations received in last 2 years). This journal has an h-index of 92. The best quartile for this journal is Q1.

The ISSN of Discrete Mathematics journal is 0012365X. An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique code of 8 digits. It is used for the recognition of journals, newspapers, periodicals, and magazines in all kind of forms, be it print-media or electronic. Discrete Mathematics is cited by a total of 1247 articles during the last 3 years (Preceding 2024).


Discrete Mathematics Impact IF 2024-2025


The Impact IF 2024 of Discrete Mathematics is 1.04, which is computed in 2025 as per its definition. Discrete Mathematics IF is increased by a factor of 0.17 and approximate percentage change is 19.54% when compared to preceding year 2023, which shows a rising trend. The impact IF, also denoted as Journal impact score (JIS), of an academic journal is a measure of the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It is based on Scopus data.

How to publish in Discrete Mathematics


If your research field is/are related to Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics (Q1); Theoretical Computer Science (Q2), then please visit the official website of this journal.


Acceptance Rate


The acceptance rate/percentage of any academic journal/conference depends upon many parameters. Some of the critical parameters are listed below.

  • The demand or interest of researchers/scientists in publishing in a specific Journal/Conference.
  • Peer review complexity and timeline.
  • The mix of unsolicited and invited submissions.
  • The time it takes from manuscript submission to final publication.
  • And Many More.

It is essential to understand that the acceptance rate/rejection rate of papers varies among journals. Some Journals considers all the manuscripts submissions as a basis of acceptance rate computation. On the other hand, few consider the only manuscripts sent for peer review or few even not bother about the accurate maintenance of total submissions. Hence, it can provide a rough estimation only.

The best way to find out the acceptance rate is to reach out to the associated editor or to check the official website of the Journal/Conference.
