# Advances in Mathematics (advances-in-mathematics)

## Journal positioning

Advances in Mathematics, published by Elsevier, is a leading general journal of pure mathematics that publishes high-quality original research across all major areas. Its defining character is breadth at a high standard: it is not restricted to a single field and welcomes strong results from algebra, geometry, topology, number theory, analysis, combinatorics, and beyond, provided the work is significant and of interest beyond a narrow sub-community. Advances sits just below the very top general journals in selectivity — excellent, substantial research that may not reach the field-reshaping bar of Annals is well placed here. The journal rewards new theorems, new structures, and new methods presented with clarity and full rigor.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Advances in Mathematics Elsevier site and confirm submission procedures.

## When to trigger

- The author is considering Advances in Mathematics for a strong, general-interest pure-mathematics paper.
- A result is excellent and of broad interest but the author is unsure whether it reaches `inventiones-mathematicae` or `journal-of-the-american-mathematical-society` level.
- A paper spans or bridges sub-fields and the author wants a high-standard generalist venue rather than a specialized one.
- The author needs Advances' significance and rigor bar, plus common rejection reasons, before submission.
