About Notices

Notices both solicits articles and welcomes unsolicited articles for consideration. Authors are not paid, nor are authors asked to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). Notices publishes articles that have broad appeal for a diverse audience with many different types of readers: graduate students, academic mathematicians, industrial mathematicians, researchers in mathematics-based fields, and amateur enthusiasts. The print edition of Notices is sent to approximately 30,000 members of the AMS, most of whom are professional mathematicians. In addition, Notices is accessible for free online.

Topics. Notices seeks exceptional articles that report on major new developments in mathematics or that describe great mathematicians or episodes from mathematics history that have connections to current research in the field. We also welcome articles discussing aspects of the mathematics profession, such as grant programs, the job market, professional opportunities for mathematicians, publishing, electronic communications, and mathematics education, at all levels. In addition, we publish reviews of books. The Notices does not publish articles which are offensive or inflammatory.

For 2025, Notices plans to run several article series on potential themes related to professional issues. Those potential themes are listed below.

If you're interested in submitting an article on any of those themes, or wish to discuss another story or series idea, please contact Mark C. Wilson, Incoming Editor-in-Chief.

• How journals operate in related fields, what math journals can learn from them, and vice versa
• Mathematics PhD training around the world - trends, challenges, opportunities
• Teaching-track careers versus traditional tenure-track - trends, challenges, opportunities
• Specific successful undergraduate research programs
• AI and its impact on research, teaching, and everything else in our profession
• Research integrity in mathematics - challenges, differences from other fields
• The two-body problem in 2025
• What is scholarship, and what should it be?
• Faculty performance evaluation - best practices
• Email (and other online) etiquette
• How has being a female mathematician changed in the last 60 years?
• The state of math online in 2025

Our goal is to provide valuable and enjoyable articles about new developments in mathematics and in the mathematics profession, as well as other related matters of interest. Notices is not a research journal but rather a journal of exposition and news. Please note that all articles are refereed for technical correctness as well as exposition, and publication is contingent on making the changes required by the referees and editors.

Articles should be submitted for consideration using our peer review management system Editflow. Please see this document for guidelines to use in creating your submission. A template is available for articles in LaTeX. Please visit the Contact Notices tab for additional contact information.
