Mathematical Journal of LNU is 20 years old

11.4.2022

This year the journal Algebra and Discrete Mathematics marks the 20th anniversary of the founding.

In 2022, it will be 20 years since the founding of the international mathematical journal “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics”. In 2002, at the initiative of the Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Vitalii Mykhailovych Usenko, Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University became the founder of the journal “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics”.

“Algebra and Discrete Mathematics” journal has an international editorial board, which includes leading scientists from around the world: Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Moldova, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine and the United States. The editors-in-chief of the journal are Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Yu. A. Drozd and Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor A.V. Zhuchok. The scientific secretary of the journal is Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Yu. V. Zhuchok, and the technical editor is A.B. Popov. According to the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine № 612 dated 07.05.2019, the publication is included in category “A” of the List of scientific professional publications of Ukraine.

The journal is reviewed in such global databases of scientific publications as Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt Math. In June 2012, “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics” was included in the Scopus scientometric database, the world’s largest universal reference database with the ability to track the scientific citations of publications. Today, the Scopus SJR index of the journal is 0,282. In December 2016, the publication was admitted to the Emerging Sources Citation Index, a database of scientific journals that is part of the Core Collection Web of Science. It will be recalled that the Web of Science scientometric database is one of the world’s largest search platforms, which contains abstract databases of academic materials based on their mutual citation, on the basis of which each journal receives a separate impact factor. Indexing in the Web of Science testifies to the high status and importance of the scientific journal among the world scientific community.

From 2002 to 2022, thanks to the work of the editorial board, 81 issues of the journal were prepared and published, which contained 885 scientific articles. The average number of articles per year is 44, and the average number of articles in the issue is 11. During this period, the journal published studies by scientists from more than 50 different countries. All articles in the journal are published in English only and are subject to mandatory review. Some issues are devoted to famous domestic and foreign mathematicians, as well as the most important algebraic events in Ukraine and abroad.

Thanks to the coordinated work of the members of the international editorial board, “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics” journal meets international standards of publications and promotes the integration of domestic scientific potential into the world scientific space and the creation of quality public communication of mathematics scientists.
