'''Rejecta Mathematica''' is an online [[journal]] for publishing [[paper]]s that have been rejected by other [[mathematics]] journals such as [[Annals of Mathematics]].

In June 2011, almost two years after the inaugural issue, the second issue was published; it contains topics such as subspace classification and distributions of [[pseudoprime]]s.

A similar [[operating model]] is implemented by unconventional journals like ''[[Annals of Improbable Research]]'', the ''Null Hypothesis: The Journal of Unlikely Science'', the ''[[Journal of Irreproducible Results]]'' or, in different contexts, by ''[[Health Promotion International]]''.<ref>{{cite journal|first1=Evelyne|last1= de Leeuw|url=https://academic.oup.com/heapro/article/26/1/1/683350|title=Theory and Policy Innovation for Health: where has the creativity and fun gone? |journal=Health Promotion International|volume =26|issue =1|date= March 1, 2011|pages =1–3|doi=10.1093/heapro/dar001|pmid= 21296910|hdl=10536/DRO/DU:30032552|hdl-access=free}}</ref>
