SCIREA Journal of Mathematics

SCIREA is an opaque publisher that does not reveal its location and staff. Its website describes the SCIREA Journal of Mathematics as "an international, scientific peer-reviewed open access journal published online by SCIREA" and promises publication within approximately 25 days of submission. It accomplishes this feat without a named editor-in-chief. The listings for the "editorial board" go on and on, surpassing 1,000 members apparently motivated to write instant reports by "vouchers entitling them to a discount on the APC [author publishing charge of $330 as of April 11, 2021] of their next publication in any SCIREA journal, in appreciation of the work done."

The "Instructions for Authors" contain these "Open Science Policy Guide Lines to Submit the Manuscript: The absolute prototype for manuscript is originality, high scientific quality and interest to a multidisciplinary audience." Among these works for a multidisciplinary audience are "On Еc-(δ-ßc)-Compact Spaces and Еc-(δ-ßc)-Separation Axioms" and "The Structure of Groups GL(3,F)."

The "issues" of the journal are often single articles. The abstract of one such 14-page article on "The So-called Seqed and Scientific cradle of the angle θ in ancient Egypt" (vol. 3, issue 2, April 24, 2018) begins:

Science is a matter of asking for information by specifying the difference between fact and opinion. Fact in a scientific context is a generally accepted reality, but still open to scientific inquiry, as opposed to an absolute truth, which is not a part of science. The hypotheses and theories are generally based on objective inferences, unlike opinions, which are generally based on subjective influences. Therefore and hence we can say ‘the facts versus the opinions’.
