Mathematics pervades every area of our modern world, bringing ever more sharply into focus the responsibilities placed on those who to teach it. Prominent among these is the challenge of developing an interdisciplinary approach, so that each professional group benefits from the expertise of others.
The International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology provides a forum in which a wide range of peer-reviewed research in mathematics education can be presented, assimilated and eventually adapted to everyday needs in schools, colleges, universities, industry and commerce. The journal is especially interested in facilitating communication between researchers and practitioners, and contributions are welcome from researchers, lecturers, teachers and users of mathematics at all levels regarding the contents of courses and pedagogical approaches across all areas of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) education. We are always delighted to receive submissions from as diverse and international a range of contributors as possible, including teachers and early-career academics.
Increasing use of technology is being made in the teaching, learning, assessment and presentation of mathematics today, and original and interesting contributions in this rapidly developing area are especially welcome. Mathematical models arising from real situations, the use of computers, digital assistants and software, new teaching aids and techniques are also an important feature. Discussion is encouraged on methods of widening applications throughout science and technology and supporting students in problem solving. We particularly welcome contributions addressing pedagogy in Biology, Chemistry, Computer science, Business, Economics and Finance, Data science, Engineering, and Physics, in addition to Mathematics itself.
Please note that the link to education/pedagogy is critical for IJMEST, and we do not publish articles which merely discuss mathematics.
A distinctive feature of the journal is the Classroom Notes section. This section is for shorter, peer-reviewed articles which are not research articles, and are often new ideas for the mathematics teacher to use in teaching.
We would be glad to receive proposals at any time for special issues in relevant areas. Please note IJMEST does not publish book reviews.
Readership Mathematicians and mathematics educators in schools, colleges, and universities.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
