SIREV
SIAM Review (SIREV) consists of the following five sections, all containing articles of broad interest:
• Survey and Review features papers with a deliberately integrative and up-to-date perspective on a major topic
in applied or computational mathematics or scientific computing.
• Research Spotlights publishes concise research papers in applied and computational mathematics which will
appeal to SIAM Review's diverse audience. Papers in the Research Spotlights section contain novel ideas that are
clearly presented and well-motivated. They distinguish themselves from typical publications in domain-specific
SIAM journals by being more widely accessible and are likely to have unusually broad and lasting impact.
• SIGEST highlights a recent paper from one of SIAM's specialized research journals, chosen on the basis of
exceptional interest to the entire SIAM community and revised and condensed as needed for greater
accessibility. Education consists primarily of individual modules that are self-contained presentations of specific
topics in applied mathematics, scientific computation, or their applications; each module provides the primary
material needed to teach a given topic as well as supplementary material.
• The Book Reviews section contains a featured review that provides an overview of several books in a subject
area. Shorter reviews of individual books are also included.

MMS
Centered around multiscale phenomena, Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MMS) is an interdisciplinary journal
focusing on the fundamental modeling and computational principles underlying various multiscale methods.
By its nature, multiscale modeling is highly interdisciplinary, with developments occurring independently across
fields. A broad range of scientific and engineering problems involve multiple scales. Traditional monoscale
approaches have proven to be inadequate, even with the largest supercomputers, because of the range of scales
and the prohibitively large number of variables involved. Thus, there is a growing need to develop Systematic
modeling and simulation approaches for multiscale problems. MMS will provide a single broad, authoritative source
for results in this area.
MMS bridges the growing gap in communication between mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer
science, environmental science, and more.
