Journal of the American Mathematical Society is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the American Mathematical Society focusing on research articles in mathematics. Established in 1988, the journal has published influential papers by authors associated with institutions such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, and Institute for Advanced Study. The journal is closely connected to professional organizations and awards including the American Mathematical Society, the National Academy of Sciences, the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, and the Clay Mathematics Institute.

History

The journal was founded in 1988 under the auspices of the American Mathematical Society during a period marked by developments linked to researchers at Princeton University, University of Chicago, Stanford University, Columbia University, and Yale University. Early volumes featured contributions from mathematicians associated with the Institute for Advanced Study, the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and the International Congress of Mathematicians, echoing prior traditions from journals like Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, and Acta Mathematica. The editorial leadership has included editors drawn from institutions such as University of Oxford, Cambridge University, ETH Zurich, École Normale Supérieure, and University of Bonn, reflecting transatlantic ties with bodies like the Royal Society and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Scope and editorial policy

The journal publishes research articles in broad areas represented by leading researchers at Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Chicago, California Institute of Technology, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Topics often intersect with work from specialists at Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford. Editorial policy emphasizes originality and depth, with peer review conducted by editorial board members who are faculty or researchers affiliated with institutions including École Polytechnique, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, IHÉS, Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, and the National Science Foundation. The journal solicits submissions reflective of advances recognized by prizes such as the Fields Medal, the Shaw Prize, and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and by conferences like the International Congress of Mathematicians and workshops at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.

Publication and format

Published quarterly by the American Mathematical Society, the journal issues volumes comprising research articles formatted conventionally in English, with typesetting practices influenced by standards at Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Springer, and Elsevier. Print and electronic editions circulate to libraries and subscribers at universities such as Stanford University, Yale University, New York University, University of California, San Diego, and institutes like the Institute for Advanced Study and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. The journal adheres to submission workflows integrated with editorial systems used by journals like Journal of the American Statistical Association, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, while following publishing norms endorsed by organizations including the Council of Science Editors and the International Mathematical Union.

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is indexed in major services used by researchers at Princeton University, Harvard University, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford, including aggregators comparable to MathSciNet, Zentralblatt MATH, and citation databases used alongside Web of Science and Scopus. Libraries at institutions such as Columbia University, University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, and Cornell University rely on these indexes to track articles relevant to conferences like the International Congress of Mathematicians and workshops at the American Institute of Mathematics.

Impact and reception

Papers published in the journal have been cited by researchers at Princeton University, Harvard University, Institute for Advanced Study, California Institute of Technology, and ETH Zurich and have influenced developments recognized by awards such as the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Shaw Prize, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and the Crafoord Prize. Reviews and citations appear alongside work in Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Duke Mathematical Journal, and Mathematische Annalen. The journal's reputation is reflected in its use by graduate programs at Princeton University, University of Chicago, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and University of California, Berkeley for curriculum and reading lists associated with seminars and colloquia sponsored by entities such as the American Mathematical Society and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
