AMS Open Access provides unrestricted electronic access to AMS peer-reviewed scholarly research. AMS research journals fall under three models of open access: diamond, green, and gold.
AMS Diamond Open Access Journals
In 2021, we announced the launch of a new journal, Communications of the American Mathematical Society, under the Diamond OA model. Conformal Geometry and Dynamics and Representation Theory have also been added to our Diamond Open Access list. These journals are free to read, and there are no article processing charges.
AMS Green Open Access Journals
With green open access, the author may post a prepublication version of a journal article on their personal web page, their institution's noncommercial repository, and/or on arXiv.org with no embargo period. The AMS considers any version of the paper up to the final peer-reviewed manuscript, including revisions that take into account comments and suggestions of referees (often called the Author-Accepted-Manuscript), to be a prepublication version.
- Open Archive: All subscription journal content over 5 years old (rolling) is open and free to read to all.
- Participation in the Research4Life program providing free access to readers in developing countries.
- CHORUS: As a member of CHORUS, research funded by CHORUS partners is made available in accordance with the relevant guidelines.
AMS Gold Open Access Journals
With gold open access, the AMS makes the final published version of an article freely available electronically immediately upon publication. The AMS offers two gold open access journals: Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Series B and Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Series B.
Article Processing Charges (APCs)
APCs are required for gold open access articles. Discounts are available for AMS members (serving as corresponding authors) as noted below.
- Proceedings of the AMS, Series B: US$1,500 ($247 for AMS Members)
- Transactions of the AMS, Series B: US$2,750 ($247 for AMS Members)
