Journals

The London Mathematical Society publishes 10 peer-reviewed journals, 5 of which are in collaboration with other learned societies and institutions. These world-class publications form an important element in the Society's delivery of its strategic activities in support of mathematics and the research community.

All surplus income from the LMS publishing programme is used to support mathematicians and mathematics research in the form of research grants, conference grants, prizes, initiatives for early career researchers, and the promotion of mathematics.

LMS Members can sign up to free online access to the Bulletin, Journal, Proceedings, Mathematika and Nonlinearity via their LMS Membership Profile here: www.lms.ac.uk/user and selecting their preferred journals under the “My LMS Membership” tab. The LMS will then notify Wiley who will then issue members with a username and password to login to the Wiley Online Library.

The journal is peer-reviewed to the high standard assured by the London Mathematical Society for all its journals.

The Transactions is funded by Article Publishing Charges (APCs), payable by the authors with money from their funder or institution. Aside from covering the initial costs of publication, any surplus from the APC goes to the LMS charitable programme to support the mathematics community in the form of research grants, conference grants, prizes, initiatives for early career researchers and the promotion of mathematics.

Journal of Topology

Editors: Jeffrey Brock, Andrew Blumberg,  Cornelia Druţu Badea, Mark Gross, Kathryn Mann, Akhil Mathew, Oscar Randal-Williams, Alan Reid, Ivan Smith, Kirsten Wickelgren and Constantin Teleman   

The 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 of Topology is wholly owned and managed by the London Mathematical Society. All surplus income from its publishing programme is used to support mathematicians and mathematics research in the form of research grants, conference grants, prizes, initiatives for early career researchers, and the promotion of mathematics.

The Journal of Topology was founded in 2008. It is published quarterly with articles published individually online prior to appearing in a printed issue. 


The following journals are published in partnership with other learned societies and institutions.

Compositio Mathematica

Managing Editors: Prof. F. Andreatta, Prof. J. Heinloth, Prof. B. Klingler, Prof. L. Taelman and Prof. E. Vasserot.

Compositio Mathematica is a prestigious, well-established journal publishing first-class research papers that traditionally focus on the mainstream of pure mathematics. Compositio Mathematica has a broad scope which includes the fields of algebra, number theory, topology, algebraic and differential geometry and global analysis. Papers on other topics are welcome if they are of broad interest. All contributions are required to meet high standards of quality and originality. The Journal has an international editorial board reflected in the journal content. 

Compositio Mathematica is owned and published by non-profit organisations (the Foundation Compositio Mathematica and the London Mathematical Society) that use any surplus income from the journal to sponsor mathematics and mathematical research. The Compositio Prize is awarded triennually in recognition of an outstanding piece of mathematical research that is published in the Compositio Mathematica journal.

Submissions can be made via the online form.

Read Composito Mathematica articles on the Cambridge Core site. Online access is free for all papers published 5 years ago or more.

Papers published before 1997 are available from the NUMDAM website. 

 

Moduli

Managing Editors: Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen, Steve Bradlow, Dan Halpern-Leistner,
Vicky Hoskins, Frances Kirwan, Margarida Melo,Anna Wienhard

Full Board

Moduli publishes significant new results on all aspects of moduli theory or related mathematics, including but not restricted to techniques from: algebraic, differential and arithmetic geometry; combinatorics; dynamical systems; gauge theory; geometric analysis; geometric group theory; pure math inspired by physics; representation theory; and topology. All contributions are required to meet high standards of quality and originality and are peer reviewed by experts in the field.

Submissions

Upload a pdf or ps file by logging in to the Foundation's websystem.

Alternatively you can send your file to one of the managing editors by email. Please include the full address of the corresponding author. Sending a (La)TeX version by email is also possible, but is less preferable as it may lead to (teXnical) problems.

Please see:https://moduli.nl/#prepare for guidance on how to prepare your article.

Mathematika

Managing Editors: Victor Beresnevich, William Chen and Alex Sobolev  

Mathematika is owned by University College London and published by the London Mathematical Society. All surplus income from the publication of Mathematika is returned to mathematicians and mathematics research via the Society's research grants, conference grants, prizes, initiatives for early career researchers and the promotion of mathematics.

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. The journal will continue to publish research papers of the highest mathematical quality.
 
The Editors welcome submissions to Mathematika via the submissions web page.
 
Nonlinearity
Editors-in-Chief: Tasso J Kaper (for the IOP) and Konstantin Khanin (for the LMS)

LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics (1998-2017)

The LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics was a free online journal that published internationally-leading papers addressing topics in computational pure and applied mathematics, including papers at the interface of Mathematics and Computer Science.

The journal was closed to new submissions in October 2015 and the final volume was published in 2017.  Since 2010, the journal has been hosted online by Cambridge University Press, including the archive dating back to 1998.  The London Mathematical Society is committed to maintaining this archive of published papers into the indefinite future.

Details of the former Editorial Board can be found here.

All papers published 1998-2017 can be accessed via Cambridge Core for free.
