Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society (original) (raw)

Journal overview:

Aims and Scope

Published by the American Mathematical Society since 1950, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society is devoted to shorter research articles (not to exceed 15 printed pages) in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Proceedings, a paper must be correct, new, and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved major theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptable for publication. Longer papers may be submitted to the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. Published pages are the same size as those generated in the style files provided for AMS-LaTeX.

Peer Review

All articles appearing in this journal are peer reviewed by external reviewers. Editors may reject papers without external review that are not suitable for publication in the journal due to reasons such as subject matter or clear weaknesses in the scientific content or presentation style.

Proceedings of the AMS has adopted a double-anonymous peer-review model in which both authors and referees of a given article remain anonymous to each other. Questions about the initial submission process should be directed to [email protected].

Submission information:

Information can be found on the journal's Submission for Peer Review page. Please note that authors are limited to three submissions within any 12-month period.

Digitized archive:

The AMS Journals Digitization Project has established a complete digital archive of the back issues of the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society from 1950 to 1995. All of these back issues are freely available electronically with fully searchable content. The digitization of the back issues of the Proceedings was made possible through the generous support of an anonymous donor. To access this material click on "All Issues: 1950-Present."

Submission

All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. Proceedings of the AMS has a double anonymous peer review process in which both authors and referees of a given article remain anonymous to each other. Questions about the initial submission process should be directed to [email protected]. The AMS uses Centralized Manuscript Processing for initial submissions to AMS journals. Papers submitted to Proceedings of the AMS (to be published in either Proceedings of the AMS or Proceedings of the AMS, Series B) may not exceed 15 printed pages. The preferred method of submission is to upload a PDF file using the Initial Manuscript Submission form. Authors are limited to three submissions to Proceedings of the AMS within any 12-month period.

An alternate method is to send one copy of the paper to the following address:

Centralized Manuscript Processing
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMS
201 Charles Street
Providence, Rhode Island
02904-2213 USA

If a paper copy is being forwarded to the AMS, the following information is required with the submission (note that all contact information, particularly email addresses, must be supplied to avoid delay):

No paper that has been previously published, or is being considered for publication elsewhere, should be submitted to the American Mathematical Society, nor may a paper that is under consideration by the American Mathematical Society be submitted elsewhere.

Included with the footnotes to the paper should be the 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification representing the primary and secondary subjects of the article.

The AMS Author Resource Center provides TeX Resources, the AMS Style Guide, the Mathematics Subject Classification, and further useful tools for preparing your manuscript. Journal abbreviations used in bibliographies are available for download.

After Acceptance

Once a paper has been accepted for publication, authors should follow the online Submission Instructions.

All authors must submit the Consent to Publish. All authors must agree regarding the Copyright Agreement. If the article is to be published in one of the AMS Open Access journals, authors must agree which Creative Commons License will be selected. Authors are encouraged to use AMS-prepared style files in preparing their papers.

Useful Tools

An abstract is required; it should be at least one complete sentence and at most 150 words. The AMS offers free worldwide access to the electronic abstracts. No abstracts appear in the printed journal starting in 1998.
