JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS

Recently, I don't recommend investing in the field of probability statistics. This magazine used to have lax review standards and fast publication, but now it seems to have changed. They divide submissions and assign different reviewers. Me, my acquaintances, and the information I know have all had four submissions rejected in the past two years. The first submission was under review for three days and rejected three months later. The second submission was rejected after being with the editor for a week. The third submission was rejected within two weeks. As for my own submission, it was with the editor for three months, under review for another three months, and then rejected after being reviewed for seven to eight months. The rejection reason was even more ridiculous. Altogether, it took over a year, which I had never heard of before for JMAA rejecting manuscripts so slowly. It's not a big deal if finding reviewers is slow, or if the review process is slow, but the crucial part is that after such a long time, the two reviewers didn't provide any feedback...

Objectively speaking, JMAA is a relatively well-established journal in the field of analysis mathematics. However, the quality of the papers published in this journal varies, but the readability of papers in the field of functional analysis is quite strong. Moreover, there has been a serious issue of spamming for a period of time. In recent years, there has been an overall improvement in the quality of papers, and it is definitely not true that "solving a simple exercise can lead to publication" or that "publishing one paper is an insult to one's academic career," as some people claim. Therefore, for intermediate results or those that are not particularly perfect, it is worth considering submitting to this journal, as the cost-effectiveness is still acceptable.
