Optimization is committed to publishing research on the latest developments of mathematical programming and operations research with invited special issues in each volume and a special section devoted to review papers on theory and methods in areas of mathematical programming and optimization techniques.

We support authors whose research explores:
• Linear and nonlinear programming
• Variational analysis
• Vector and set-valued optimization
• Theoretical Investigations
• Numerical methods
• Application-oriented papers that contain new mathematical contributions

Authors wishing to submit to Optimization should review the Instructions for Authors. Further guidance can be found on our Author Services website.

Authors are strongly advised to carefully check that their work falls within the scope of Optimization before submitting, as all submissions that are not within scope will be immediately rejected without peer review.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If found suitable for further consideration, papers are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized.
