Submission of Papers

This is the page for submitting your paper to Mathematika, which is published by the London Mathematical Society on behalf of its owners, University College London.

Scope

Mathematika publishes both pure and applied mathematical articles and has done so continuously since its founding by Harold Davenport in the 1950s. The traditional emphasis has been towards the purer side of mathematics but applied mathematics and articles addressing both aspects are equally welcome.

Submitting your paper

You may submit a paper electronically as a single PDF or Postscript file as an attachment to an email sent to mathematika@lms.ac.uk. Please keep the .tex file that precisely corresponds to the .PDF or .PS version that you have submitted, but do not send the .tex file at this time.

Please include in your email the following information:

the title of your paper;
as corresponding author, your name, affiliation, and country in which you work together with your permanent email address;
the same details for each of your co-authors. Should the paper be accepted, we may need to contact each individually to confirm copyright assignment;
the name of the Editor whose mathematical interests are closest to the subject of your paper. If you are not sure, please nominate the Managing Editor, Alex Sobolev, who may forward your paper to another Editor.

You will be sent an acknowledgement, usually within a week, once we have confirmed that your file is printable.

Revised version

If you are submitting a revised version of your paper, please send the same details as above and include the following additional information:

the reference number of the paper (if known);
please note any change to the title of the paper or if its extent has changed by more than a few pages;
please note the changes made to the paper during its revision, having taken into account the Editors’ and Referee’s comments.

If you have received a message that firmly rejects your paper and does not mention that a resubmission would be considered, you are advised to submit any revision of your paper to another journal.

If you have a problem in submitting a paper or you do not receive an acknowledgement, please first check that our email (sent on behalf of mathematika@lms.ac.uk) is not being blocked by your spam filter which is the most common fault. Then send a brief e-mail to the Publisher, Susan Hezlet, at susan.hezlet@lms.ac.uk, describing the problem.

General Submission Guidelines

No paper that has been previously published, or which is being considered for publication elsewhere, should be submitted to the London Mathematical Society.
Nor may a paper that is under consideration by the London Mathematical Society be submitted elsewhere.
Authors should take care to keep a copy of all emails sent to the Society.

Conditions for acceptance

Upon acceptance, you will agree to assign copyright to University College London. See the sample copyright form.
You may continue to post electronic versions of your paper, up to and including the version initially accepted for publication, but excluding proofs, on any web page, server or electronic archive, provided that you give a journal reference to the published version ('to appear', or with published page numbers). You should also include a statement that the two versions are different.
