Journal overview:

Aims and Scope

Published by the American Mathematical Society, the Journal of the American Mathematical Society (JAMS) is devoted to research articles of the highest quality in mathematics.

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 scientific content or presentation style. Journal of the AMS has a single-anonymous peer-review process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are. Questions about the initial submission process should be directed to jrnl-initsub@ams.org.

Submission information:

Information can be found on the journal's Submission for Peer Review page.

Digitized archive:

The AMS Journals Digitization Project has established a complete digital archive of the back issues of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society from 1988 to 1995. All of these back issues are freely available electronically with fully searchable content. The digitization of the back issues of this journal was made possible through the generous support of an anonymous donor. To access this material click on "All Issues: 1988-Present."
