Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society is published by American Mathematical Society and is in Zone 2 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Topics in Algebra, Homotopy and Cohomology in Algebraic Topology and Algebraic structures and combinatorial models, together about 21% of its articles. Its main subfields are Geometry and Topology and Mathematical Physics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. The AMS has a single blind peer-review process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are. This journal is devoted to research articles in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Transactions, a paper must be correct, new, and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved major theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptable for publication. Papers of less than 15 printed pages that meet the above criteria should be submitted to the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. Published pages are the same size as those generated in the style files provided for AMS-LaTeX.
