The Journal of Mathematics in Industry is a high-quality open-access journal that brings together research on developments in mathematics for industrial applications, where industry is understood as any activity of economic and/or social value.
In the disruptive period we are living in, in the middle of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics, scientists, and in particular mathematicians and statisticians, are investing an unprecedented effort to forecast the course of the pandemic and to suggest measures to mitigate its unfortunate effects.
We are conscious that this pandemic will very likely deeply affect our societies, production, health management, and many other aspects of human life. That is why there is an urgency to provide scientifically reliable studies of the many aspects of the problem to policy makers.
This special issue will be devoted to articles that propose data-driven mathematical and statistical models of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and/or of its foreseeable consequences on public health, society, industry, economics and technology.
The editors of this special issue and the scientists of the ECMI Consortium will guarantee a fast and fair peer-to-peer review procedure, in order to provide society with a timely and reliable injection of scientific insights.
Topics of interest:
- Scenarios of containment and mitigation
- Socio-economic costs of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
- Spatio-temporal spread of SARS-CoV-2
- Estimating the unreported number of virus cases
- Bats-Hosts-Reservoir-People (BHRP) virus transmission
Submission Deadline: January 31st, 2021
APC Fees: Given the importance of the subject, the APCs of all the articles accepted for this special issue will be waived. Interested authors are kindly asked to contact one of the guest editors of the special issue before the submission, in order to know the procedure to apply for the waive of the APCs.
