Special Issue: Mathematical models of the spread and consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. Effects on health, society, industry, economics and technology.
The Journal of Mathematics in Industry is a high-quality open-access journal published by Springer 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 that we are living, 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 try to forecast and suggest measures to mitigate the ill-fated effects of the pandemic.
We are conscious that this pandemic will very likely deeply modify our future life, in terms of society, production, health management, and many other aspects of human life, and this 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 collect articles which propose data driven mathematical or statistical models of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and/or of its foreseen 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, but fair, peer-to-peer review procedure, in order to provide to society a reliable injection of scientific insights.
APC Fee: Given the importance of the subject, the APCs of all the articles accepted for this special issue will be waived.
Submissions: Manuscripts can be submitted immediately and will be processed as they arrive. They can be accepted and published online ‘as and when they are ready’. The Special Issue will be published in Nov-Dec 2020. LaTeX submissions are preferred. Some author’s guide is available here .
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.
