Aims and Scope

The Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society publishes longer research papers in mathematics. Published since 1865, it covers a wide range of mathematical topics that include real and complex analysis, differential equations and related areas, topology, geometry, logic, probability, statistics, algebra, number theory, and combinatorial theory.

The current Editorial Advisory Board reflects predominantly pure interests, but the Society wishes to encourage a spread to more applicable areas and will consider papers submitted in areas of mathematics not covered by existing Board members.

Guidelines for submission

Papers can be submitted electronically; see here for details.

When preparing the paper for submission, consider using lms.cls. Upon acceptance, authors will agree to assign copyright to the Society. See sample copyright form.

Statement on Pricing Policy

The Society recognizes the importance of the dissemination of mathematical knowledge and the issues of rising costs, growth in research output and falling library budgets. The Society will retain the objective of increasing its support for mathematical activities and consequent benefits to the mathematical community in the UK and internationally. Within these parameters, the Council of the Society will apply a fair and reasonable pricing policy with respect to its publications.
