Marketed and distributed for the London Mathematical Society
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 is published by the London Mathematical Society, on behalf of its owner University College London, and will continue to publish research papers of the very highest mathematical quality.
Since 2011 all current subscribers have had online access to the complete Mathematika archive back to issue 1.
This is the page for submitting your paper to Mathematika, which is published by the London Mathematical Society on behalf of its owner, 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.
Description
Mathematika is a hybrid journal with standard subscription access as the default and an Open Access option. For a summary of publishing rights, open access and archiving policies for the Mathematika, please see this fact sheet.
Submitting your paper
You may submit a paper electronically as a single PDF file. To do this, you will need to complete a web form.
Before filling in the form, please read through this checklist of items you will need to have to hand when completing it:
Be sure to have a single PDF version of your paper ready to be uploaded as part of the web form submission.
Please keep the .tex file that precisely corresponds to the PDF version that you are submitting. If your paper is accepted, we will require that particular version of the .tex file. Please do not send the .tex file at this time.
On the web form, you will be asked to choose the name of the Editor whose mathematical interests are closest to the subject of your paper. It is advisable to study the list before filling in the form and check that you have the most appropriate Editor. 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 via email, usually within 1 hour, confirming receipt of your submission. If you do not receive such an acknowledgement, please write to mathematika@lms.ac.uk.
Revised version
If you wish to upload a revision of a previously submitted article, please do not use the link above. Instead, use the status link contained in the email you received from us about your previous submission. If you cannot find the link, then write to us.
The Editors prefer not to consider multiple versions of the same paper before a decision on the first version is sent, particularly if the changes are minor.
If you have received a letter that firmly rejects your paper and does not mention that a resubmission would be considered, you would be advised to submit any revision of your paper to another journal.
General Submission Guidelines
Each paper must be submitted exclusively to one journal.
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.
Authors of accepted papers have the option (by paying a charge) to have their article published under 'Open Access'. If published under the open access model, the paper will be distributed under the terms of either
the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY) [NOTE: this licence is mandatory for compliance with the RCUK policy (United Kingdom) and therefore required for any EPSRC-funded paper published under open access] or

You may continue to post electronic versions of your paper, up to the version initially accepted for publication, on any web page, server or electronic archive, provided that you give a journal reference to the published version (with DOI, published page numbers, or 'to appear'). You should also include a statement that the two versions are different.
