Journal of Mathematical Research with Applications (JMRA), formerly Journal of Mathematical Research and Exposition (JMRE), has adopted its current name since 2012, accompanied by changes in its ISSN (from 1000-341X to 2095-2651) and CN number (from 21-1208/O1 to 21-1579/O1). Founded in 1981 by Professor L. C. Hsu, JMRE is one of the official journals of the China Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CSIAM), a top-tier academic society in China with a distinguished reputation in the Chinese academic community. The journal is co-sponsored by Dalian University of Technology and CSIAM. Currently, Professors Lei Guo, Yufeng LU, and Zhenxin LIU serve as co-editors.

JMRA publishes high-quality original research papers across all areas of mathematics with applications. Its target audience includes pure and applied mathematicians, graduate students in broad scientific and technological fields, as well as scientists and engineers interested in mathematical methodologies. Committed to disseminating cutting-edge research in English to a global scientific community for decades, the journal had published over 4,000 papers before its rebranding, including contributions from renowned mathematicians such as K. L. Chung and P. L. Butzer. Contributors to JMRA originate from more than 10 countries, including China, the USA, the UK, Japan, India, and Russia.

The journal is indexed/reviewed in multiple international databases, such as Mathematical Reviews (MR) (USA), Current Mathematical Publications (CMP) (USA), Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete (Germany), and Реферативньюй Журнал (AJ) (Russia). Domestically, it is indexed in nearly all major Chinese periodical databases, including the Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CJFD), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Digital Periodicals, and the Chinese Core Periodicals Database. In 2000, it ranked second among Chinese core journals. Since the establishment of the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) in 1993, JMRA has consistently been listed as a core source journal.

In 2021, the journal was selected into the Mathematics Journal Grading Table issued by the Chinese Mathematical Society and the World Journal Clout Index (WJCI) Report (2020STM) (see http://wjci.cnki.net). Journals included in these lists are recognized as outstanding publications with regional and disciplinary representativeness.

Electronic archives of published papers are permanently stored in the CNKI database (https://www.cnki.net/), and full-text articles on the journal’s website are freely accessible to all authors. Financially supported by its sponsoring organizations, JMRA does not carry advertisements and charges no fees for advertising, subscriptions, sponsorships, etc. Publication fees or waivers have no influence on the editorial decision-making process for manuscripts, ensuring academic impartiality.
