Aims and Scope

The Journal of Topology will publish papers of high quality and significance in topology, geometry and adjacent areas of mathematics. Interesting, important and often unexpected links connect topology and geometry with many other parts of mathematics, and the editors welcome submissions on exciting new advances concerning such links, as well as those in the core subject areas of the journal. The Journal of Topology will appear in quarterly issues with articles posted individually on line.

Guidelines for paper submission

Papers may be submitted electronically. Further details can be found at the Submissions Guidelines for the Journal of Topology page.

If your email has been received, you should receive an acknowledgement within one week.

(The paper should be submitted exclusively to the Journal of Topology and must not be under consideration elsewhere. When preparing the paper for submission, authors may wish to use lms.cls, which can be found at the LMS general instructions for authors page. Upon acceptance, authors will agree to assign copyright to the Society. See sample copyright form.)

Prices and further details

If you have further enquiries about the journal, please contact Susan Hezlet, the LMS Publisher, at hezlet@lms.ac.uk or the Managing Editor at jtop.managingeditor@maths.ox.ac.uk.

The price of the Journal for Volume 1 (four issues) including electronic access will be £300 or $570 in 2008, although we plan further discounts for libraries who take our other journals. During 2008 the online version will be free. Please visit the home page of the journal at the Oxford Journals website for further details.The journal is owned by the London Mathematical Society, a not-for-profit publisher and the pre-eminent British society for research mathematics, and will be typeset, printed and distributed on our behalf by Oxford University Press. All sales enquiries should be made to jnls.cust.serv@oxfordjournals.org or to hezlet@lms.ac.uk.

Statement on Pricing Policy

Recognising the importance of the dissemination of mathematical knowledge, the threats of rising prices of journals and falling library budgets, and the Society’s objectives of increasing its support for mathematical activities, the Council of the Society will continue to seek to expand its activities in publishing but intends that the prices of its journals should not rise in real terms (against inflation) except in as far as there is added content or value.
