In summary, Rejecta Mathematica is an open access, online journal that publishes papers rejected from peer-reviewed journals in the mathematical sciences. The inaugural issue is now available at math.rejecta.org and includes an open letter from the authors discussing the review process and the paper's value to the community. This journal is not to be confused with a previous journal of the same name, but has been praised for its content.

I thought it had some pretty good stuff, on the whole.
 

1. What is the purpose of the first issue of Rejecta Mathematica?

The first issue of Rejecta Mathematica is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on publishing high-quality research papers that have been rejected by other mathematical journals. Its purpose is to provide a platform for researchers to share their rejected work and promote transparency in the scientific community.

2. How did the idea for Rejecta Mathematica come about?

The idea for Rejecta Mathematica was proposed by mathematician and computer scientist Michael Nielsen in 2008. Nielsen noticed that many groundbreaking research papers were initially rejected by top journals before being accepted elsewhere. He wanted to create a journal that would highlight the value of rejected research and challenge the traditional publishing system.

3. Who can submit to Rejecta Mathematica?

Any researcher or mathematician can submit their rejected work to Rejecta Mathematica. The journal accepts submissions from all areas of mathematics and welcomes innovative and unconventional ideas that have been rejected by other journals.

4. How is the quality of the papers in Rejecta Mathematica ensured?

Rejecta Mathematica follows a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality of the published papers. Submissions are reviewed by a panel of experts in the relevant field, and only those papers that meet the journal's standards for quality and originality are accepted for publication.

5. Is Rejecta Mathematica a reputable journal?

Yes, Rejecta Mathematica is a reputable journal that is recognized by the mathematical community. It has been featured in top scientific publications and has published articles from renowned mathematicians. The journal is also indexed in major databases and has a growing readership.
