About

Aims and scope

Computational and applied mathematics along with data science play a vital role in contemporary society by driving innovation. This success can be attributed to revolutionary theoretical and algorithmic developments in machine learning, data driven modeling, differential equations, numerical analysis, scientific computing, control, optimization, and computing resources together with new tools to deal with uncertainty and randomness.

This journal encourages new research in these broad areas. In addition to research on algorithmic and analytical developments, the journal also encourages papers related to (but not limited to) broad applications in Signal and Image Processing, Computer Vision, Materials Science, Mathematical Biology and Bioengineering. As a result, the journal will be an excellent connecting bridge between mathematical research and real world applications. 

The journal accepts high-quality articles containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit.

Benefits of publishing with SpringerOpen

High visibility

Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models's open access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience. 

Speed of publication

Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review; all articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically (articles are distributed in PDF form, which is automatically generated from the submitted files). Articles will be published with their final citation after acceptance, in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF; the article will then be available through Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models and SpringerOpen.

Flexibility

Online publication in Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models gives you the opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of color illustrations and moving pictures, to display data in a form that can be read directly by other software packages so as to allow readers to manipulate the data for themselves, and to create all relevant links (for example, to PubMed, to sequence and other databases, and to other articles).

Promotion and press coverage

Articles published in Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models are included in article alerts and regular email updates. 
In addition, articles published in Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models may be promoted by press releases to the general or scientific press. These activities increase the exposure and number of accesses for articles published in Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models

Copyright

Authors of articles published in Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models retain the copyright of their articles and are free to reproduce and disseminate their work (for further details, see the copyright and license agreement).

Open access

All articles published by the Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here.

As authors of articles published in the Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models you are the copyright holders of your article and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate your article, according to the SpringerOpen copyright and license agreement.

For those of you who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, SpringerOpen can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed.

Article-processing charges

Open access publishing is not without costs. Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models therefore levies an article-processing charge of £1190.00/$1790.00/€1490.00 for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.

If the corresponding author's institution participates in our open access membership program, some or all of the publication cost may be covered (more details available on the membership page). We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.

Citing articles in Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models

Articles in Advances in Difference Equations should be cited in the same way as articles in a traditional journal. Because articles are not printed, they do not have page numbers; instead, they are given a unique article number.

Article citations follow this format:

Authors: Title. Adv Diff Equ [year], [volume number]:[article number].

e.g. Roberts LD, Hassall DG, Winegar DA, Haselden JN, Nicholls AW, Griffin JL: Increased hepatic oxidative metabolism distinguishes the action of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta from Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma in the Ob/Ob mouse. Adv Diff Equ 2009, 1:115.

refers to article 115 from Volume 1 of the journal.

Appeals and complaints

Authors who wish to appeal a rejection or make a complaint should follow the procedure outlined in the BMC Editorial Policies.
