Best open-access journals for Computational Theory and Mathematics

All 23 Computational Theory and Mathematics journals, open-access only, ranked by Scimago quartile, then by how central Computational Theory and Mathematics is to each journal, then OpenAlex cites/paper (2-year window), drawn from a 17,500-venue index. Predatory venues are excluded; the FAQ below gives the exact ranking rule. These are field-wide rankings — for a shortlist matched to your specific paper, paste your title and abstract into the Journal Finder (a free account starts with 25 welcome credits).

Data as of — the date our venue index was last rebuilt from OpenAlex and Scimago.

“Cites/paper” is the OpenAlex 2-year citation rate — a transparent signal, not a licensed Impact Factor. Many regional and open-access journals are strong but aren’t covered by Scimago, so they show “no Scimago quartile”; that’s a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.

Frequently asked

Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, RAIRO - Operations Research lead this list, drawn from a 17,500-venue index. All 23 ranked venues are listed on this page; 5 are Scimago Q1, 4 Q2, 5 Q3, 2 Q4 and 7 have no Scimago quartile. By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Computational Theory and Mathematics come before those that list it second or third, and ties go to OpenAlex cites/paper over a 2-year window. A venue whose main subfield is unrelated to Computational Theory and Mathematics — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Computational Theory and Mathematics — is listed after all the others. Only open-access venues are included. Cites/paper is a transparent citation rate, not a licensed Impact Factor, and journals flagged as predatory are excluded.
