Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
The year 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of Mathematics, a peer-reviewed, open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to mathematical sciences. Mathematics has published more than 10,000 papers from more than 16,800 authors. More than 12,800 reviewers have submitted at least one review report. We value the contributions made by authors and reviewers. To celebrate this 10th anniversary, we are arranging a series of special content and events. We hope you can join us in celebrating this milestone for our journal and enjoy the collection below.

Development and Achievements
View the 10-year timeline infographic here. Trace the development of Mathematics from its origins with remarkable events.
The inaugural Issue was released, and Mathematics was published as a quarterly journal
Founding Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Dr. Sergei K. Suslov
Prof. Dr. Sergei K. Suslov studies the mathematical foundations that underlie much of theoretical physics, including relativity, quantum mechanics, wave phenomenon, and optics. He is the Professor at Department of Mathematics of Arizona State University. He has received various awards, including the 2011 Special Recognition from ASU Professor of the Year and the 2014 Leonard Euler Prize, etc.
Mathematics was indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) of Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics).
Prof. Dr. Lokenath Debnath was appointed as Editor-in-Chief of Mathematics
Prof. Dr. Lokenath Debnath received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in pure mathematics from the University of Calcutta, and obtained D.I.C. and Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics from the Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London. He is Professor Emeritus at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. His focus is on the research of applied partial differential equations, integral transforms, fluid dynamics, continuum mechanics, nonlinear waves, and wave motions in fluids and solids. He has published more than 300 papers in research journals in Pure and Applied Mathematics and several books.
Mathematics was indexed in Scopus (Elsevier).
Mathematics started the first Best Paper Awards.
Mathematics was indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
Mathematics changed to a monthly publication schedule.
Mathematics was divided into four sections
Engineering Mathematics, Theoretical and Mathematical Ecology, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Network Science.
Mathematics started the first Travel Awards and the first Outstanding Reviewer Awards.
Mathematics received its first impact factor of 1.105 for 2018.
Prof. Dr. J. A. Tenreiro Machado † was appointed as Editor-in-Chief of Mathematics
Professor J. A. Tenreiro Machado graduated with ‘Licenciatura’ (1980), Ph.D. (1989) and ‘Habilitation’ (1995), in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Porto. He worked at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Porto during 1980–1998 and worked at the Institute of Engineering, the Polytechnic Institute of Porto after that. He was a member of the Editorial boards of several international journals, guest editor of Special Issues, and has about 1000 publications in journals, conferences, and books.
Mathematics published its 1000th paper.
