Mathematics Research at the Open Science Repository
The Open Science Repository (OSR) provides an open access platform for mathematics researchers to publish original papers and scholarly communications. Our Mathematics section welcomes submissions across all areas of pure and applied mathematics, from algebra and analysis to probability, statistics, and mathematical physics. By publishing with OSR, you retain copyright under a CC-BY license while making your work freely available to a global audience.

Open access publishing ensures that your research reaches readers without paywalls, fostering collaboration and accelerating discovery. The OSR Mathematics section offers:
- Open access: Full texts are freely available to anyone, anywhere.
- Open review: Papers remain open to moderated comments from readers, encouraging transparent scholarly discourse.
- CC-BY license: You retain copyright while allowing others to share and adapt your work with attribution.
- Indexing: Papers are indexed by Google Scholar, enhancing discoverability.
- Rapid dissemination: Google Search typically indexes papers within days, and Google Scholar within weeks.
Scope of the Mathematics Section
The Mathematics section covers a broad spectrum of mathematical sciences, including but not limited to:
- Algebra and number theory
- Analysis and differential equations
- Geometry and topology
- Probability and statistics
- Numerical analysis and computational mathematics
- Mathematical logic and foundations
- Applications of mathematics in physics, engineering, and other sciences
We encourage submissions that present original research, comprehensive reviews, or significant methodological advances.
Submission Guidelines for Mathematics Papers
Before submitting a full manuscript, please send preliminary information to the Mathematics section editors. This initial inquiry should include:
- Title of the proposed paper
- Author names and affiliations
- A brief abstract (150–250 words)
- Keywords
- Indication of the paper type (research article, review, etc.)
Upon acceptance of the preliminary inquiry, you will be invited to submit the complete manuscript. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts should be prepared in a clear, concise style and include appropriate references. For detailed formatting instructions, please refer to our Information for Authors page.
Publication Process and Timeline
OSR offers two publication modes: Express publishing and Premium publishing. Express publishing provides rapid dissemination with basic formatting, while Premium publishing includes additional services such as enhanced typesetting and expedited review. Both modes ensure open access and indexing.
After submission, manuscripts undergo a preliminary editorial check for scope and quality. Accepted papers are then made available online. The open review process allows readers to post moderated comments, which can further enrich the scholarly discussion.
