The Proceedings, Journal and Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society are among the world's leading mathematical research periodicals. They share a common Editorial Advisory Board, and papers are submitted centrally and allocated by the Society according to length, with shorter papers going to the Bulletin, those of middling length to the Journal, and longer papers to the Proceedings. In addition, the Bulletin has occasional surveys and research-expository papers, and obituaries. It also has a book reviews section providing a comprehensive coverage of research texts across the whole of mathematics and statistics.

Each periodical appears bimonthly. The Proceedings has been published since the Society's foundation in 1865 and is now in its Third Series. The Journal was founded in 1926 and is in its Second Series. The Bulletin, still in its First Series, was founded in 1969.

The subject coverage of the LMS periodicals ranges across a broad spectrum of mathematics, covering the whole of pure mathematics together with some more applied areas of analysis, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, probability and statistics. The current Editorial 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.

Journal of Topology

Since January 2008, the new Journal of Topology publishes 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 will appear quarterly with articles posted individually on line. Guidelines for submitting papers and further information can be found here.

LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics

The LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics is an electronic-only open access resource that publishes papers on the computational aspects of mathematics, mathematical aspects of computation, and papers in mathematics which benefit from being published electronically. Rapid time to publication ensures that readers are kept abreast of ground-breaking developments. The journal has a separate Editorial Board, and is refereed to the same high standard as all LMS journals.

From 2010 the journal will be web-hosted by Cambridge University Press, including the archive dating back to 1998. The LMS is committed to keeping the journal archived into the indefinite future.

Mathematika

From 2010 Society will be publishing the journal Mathematika on behalf of its owner University College London. The first issue of volume 56 will appear in January 2010.

Mathematika publishes both pure and applied mathematical articles and has done so continuously since its founding by Harold Davenport in the 1950s. So far, it has not been published online, but from 2010 all articles, including the full archive dating back to 1954, will be available electronically via Cambridge Journals Online.

Submissions. The Editors welcome submissions to Mathematika via the submissions web page (www.lms.ac.uk/publications/matsubmission.html). The traditional emphasis has been towards the purer side of mathematics, but applied mathematics and articles addressing both aspects are equally welcome.

Nonlinearity

In collaboration with the Institute of Physics, the LMS publishes Nonlinearity (established 1989), which is available in an online version for subscribers.

Aimed primarily at mathematicians and physicists interested in research on nonlinear phenomena, the journal's coverage ranges from proofs of important theorems to papers presenting ideas, conjectures and numerical or physical experiments of significant physical and mathematical interest.

Compositio Mathematica

The Society publishes Compositio Mathematica on behalf of the Foundation that owns the journal. Submissions and peer review are managed from the Editorial offices in the Netherlands and the production process is managed through the LMS offices in De Morgan House. Typesetting is provided by Sunrise Setting of Torquay and distribution and marketing is the responsibility of Camridge University Press. Prices for subscriptions to the 2004 volume were a third less than those for the 2003 volumes published by Kluwer. Since then, the increase in prices have been very modest and negative in one case. We have kept to the original intention that the price reduction would not be a one-off introductory offer, and this is a permanent change to a lower pricing policy. Further information on the journal can be found here.

LMS Newsletter

The LMS Newsletter is published monthly except August, and is distributed free of charge to members of the Society.

Publish with the LMS

There are four separate processes for publishing with the LMS.
