Oxford Journals and London Mathematical Society launch Journal of Topology
31 October 2007Oxford Journals is pleased to announce that papers from the first issue of the Journal of Topology, published on behalf of the London Mathematical Society(LMS), are now freely available online.
The Journal of Topology publishes papers of high quality and significance in topology, geometry, and adjacent areas of mathematics. Many 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.Susan Hezlet, Publisher at the LMS, commented: “We are delighted to be publishing this journal with Oxford Journals. As a not-for-profit society with the aim of making top-quality mathematics scholarship as widely available as possible, we feel we have a good fit with Oxford Journals and their mission to disseminate the highest quality research to the widest possible audience.”
She continued, “The journal is in the hands of an experienced editorial board comprising some of the world’s leading topologists , and we expect that the journal will soon be recognized as the leading place to publish in the field of topology.”
The LMS is Britain’s pre-eminent society for research mathematics. The Journal of Topology joins three other LMS titles on Oxford Journals’ prestigious and expanding Mathematics list: Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Journal of the London Mathematical Society, and Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.
Papers from the first issue are available online from today, and all subsequent papers will be free of charge during the journal’s first year with registration.

3. The London Mathematical Society(LMS) is the UK's learned society for mathematics. Founded in 1865 for the promotion and extension of mathematical knowledge, the Society is concerned with all branches of mathematics and its applications. It is an independent and self-financing charity, with a membership of over 2600 drawn from all parts of the UK and overseas. Its principal activities are the organisation of meetings and conferences, the publication of periodicals and books, the provision of financial support for mathematical activities, and the contribution to public debates on issues related to mathematics research and education. It works collaboratively with other mathematical bodies worldwide. It is the UK adhering body to the International Mathematical Union and is a member of the Council for the Mathematical Sciences, which comprises the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Royal Statistical Society together with the London Mathematical Society.

4. Oxford University Press(OUP), a department of the University of Oxford, is the world's largest and most international university press. Founded in 1478, it currently publishes more than 4,500 new books a year, has a presence in over fifty countries, and employs some 3,700 people worldwide. It has become familiar to millions through a diverse publishing programme that includes scholarly works in all academic disciplines, bibles, music, school and college textbooks, children's books, materials for teaching English as a foreign language, business books, dictionaries and reference books, and journals.

5. Oxford Journals, a Division of OUP, publishes over 200 journals covering a broad range of subject areas, two-thirds of which are published in collaboration with learned societies and other international organizations. The collection contains some of the world's most prestigious titles, including Nucleic Acids Research, JNCI (Journal of the National Cancer Institute), Brain, Human Reproduction, English Historical Review, and the Review of Financial Studies.
