Mathematics | Academic Editor Meeting at EUSFLAT 2025 Held on 24 July 2025

On 24 July 2025 Mathematics (ISSN: 2227-7390) hosted its academic editor meeting at EUSFLAT 2025, held from 21 to 25 July 2025 in Riga, Latvia.
The hybrid meeting brought together 16 academic editors, combining in-person and virtual participation to discuss the journal’s strategic development. The Editorial Office expresses its deepest gratitude to all attending editors for their dedicated support and valuable contributions. The face-to-face interactions proved particularly fruitful in fostering collaborative discussions, and we look forward to welcoming even more Editors at future gatherings in different regions.
The meeting began with a light icebreaker, where participants introduced themselves and shared their academic backgrounds and experience with Mathematics (ISSN: 2227-7390) and MDPI. This was followed by a brief overview of Mathematics, performance statistics, and outreach activities.
The following topics were discussed:
- How to handle manuscripts with authors with multiple/changing affiliations or extensive international co-authorships and how to detect potential paper mill submissions;
- Additional strategies to strengthen our position in the WoS and Scopus databases;
- Strategies to boost journal visibility;
- Experience working with Mathematics—ideas and suggestions.
