Historia Mathematica (HM)
Journal Descriptions
Historia Mathematica is one of the principal international journals in the field of the history of mathematics, published since 1974 after evolving from an earlier newsletter (Notae de Historia Mathematica). It appears quarterly and is published by Academic Press Inc. under the umbrella of Elsevier Science. The journal’s scope spans the history of mathematical ideas, biographies of significant mathematical figures, studies of institutions and mathematical cultures, historiographical analysis, and the relationships between mathematics and broader scientific and social developments. Contributions include original research articles, reviews, notes on specific historical topics, and critical discussions that illuminate how mathematical knowledge and practices have developed over time. The journal is widely respected and indexed in major databases used for mathematics and history of science research. Its E‑ISSN is 1090‑249X, complementing its print ISSN 0315‑0860, reflecting its dual print and electronic presence. The editorial leadership comprises recognized scholars in the history of mathematics, with Jeffrey Oaks and Marco Panza among the Editors‑in‑Chief. While direct editor emails are not published, submissions and editorial correspondence are managed through Elsevier’s electronic system. The publisher’s office in San Diego, USA provides general administrative support, and the ScienceDirect platform hosts all journal content and author services.
