# Advances in Mathematics (advances-in-mathematics) ## Journal positioning Advances in Mathematics, published by Elsevier, is a leading general journal of pure mathematics that publishes high-quality original research across all major areas. Its defining character is breadth at a high standard: it is not restricted to a single field and welcomes strong results from algebra, geometry, topology, number theory, analysis, combinatorics, and beyond, provided the work is significant and of interest beyond a narrow sub-community. Advances sits just below the very top general journals in selectivity — excellent, substantial research that may not reach the field-reshaping bar of Annals is well placed here. The journal rewards new theorems, new structures, and new methods presented with clarity and full rigor. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Advances in Mathematics Elsevier site and confirm submission procedures. ## When to trigger - The author is considering Advances in Mathematics for a strong, general-interest pure-mathemati

What does the advances-in-mathematics skill do?
Use when targeting Advances in Mathematics (Adv. Math.) or deciding whether a pure mathematics manuscript fits this broad-scope Elsevier research venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, proof standard, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill advances-in-mathematics --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
