Submitting Electronic Files for Publication in AMS Books and Journals

Preparing your file for submission to the AMS

• We strongly recommend you use our author packages when preparing your manuscript.
• Acceptable file formats: AMSLaTeX/AMSTeX, Encapsulated PostScript, and DVI.
• If you are submitting multiple files, use the ZIP utility to compress them into a single file for transmission

Sending your file to the AMS

Preferred:

• Web
  • ACCEPTED manuscripts can be submitted via the web.
  • For security and confidentiality reasons, this system requires that you have an AMS Web Account. You will be given an opportunity to create an account as you go through the submission process.

Other options:

• FTP
  • Files can also be transferred via FTP to ftp.ams.org. You must use an FTP client; a web browser will not work. 
  • Login as anonymous and enter your email address as the password. Once logged in, connect to the incoming directory/folder and transfer the files using binary mode.
  • After the transfer is complete, mail must be sent to pub-submit@ams.org   informing the AMS staff of the transfer. The message should include the name of the file(s) transferred, the name of the publication, and the author or editor (if applicable).
  • If you have difficulty in transferring files to the AMS website through FTP, send mail to webmaster@ams.org.
• Email
  • Files can be sent via email to pub-submit@ams.org.
  • Include a message indicating the name of the publication and the name of the author or volume editor (if applicable).
