Journal overview:

Aims and Scope

Published by the American Mathematical Society since 1997, this diamond open access journal is devoted to research in representation theory and seeks to maintain a high standard for exposition as well as for mathematical content.
Representation Theory is freely available to all readers and with no publishing fees for authors.

Peer Review

All articles appearing in this journal are peer reviewed by external reviewers. Editors may reject papers without external review that are not suitable for publication in the journal due to reasons such as subject matter or clear weaknesses in scientific content or presentation style.

Representation Theory has adopted a double-anonymous peer-review model in which both authors and referees of a given article remain anonymous to each other.  Questions about the initial submission process should be directed to [email protected].

Copying and reprinting:

Individual readers of this publication, and nonprofit libraries acting for them, are permitted to make fair use of the material, such as to copy an article for use in teaching or research. Permission is granted to quote brief passages from this publication in reviews, provided the customary acknowledgment of the source is given.

In cases in which the author has selected a CC BY-NC or -ND license, relevant requests for permission to reuse or reprint material should be addressed directly to the author(s). Copyright ownership and licensing is indicated in the notice at the bottom of the first page of the PDF of each article.

Publishing cycle:

Accepted articles are posted individually after proof has been returned from the authors. Representation Theory is accessible electronically from the Representation Theory landing page.

Indexing and archiving notes:

This journal is indexed in Mathematical Reviews® and Zentralblatt MATH. This journal is archived in Portico and in CLOCKSS.

Submission

All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. Representation Theory has adopted a double anonymous peer review model in which both authors and referees of a given article remain anonymous to each other. The AMS uses Centralized Manuscript Processing for initial submissions to AMS journals. The preferred method of submission is to upload a PDF file using the Initial Manuscript Submission form. 

An alternate method is to send one copy of the paper to the following address:

If a paper copy is being forwarded to the AMS, the following information is required with the submission (note that all contact information, particularly email addresses, must be supplied to avoid delay):

• Name of the journal to which the paper is submitted
• Name of the corresponding author
• Contact information including email address and mailing address
• The author should suggest an appropriate Editor to review the paper

No paper that has been previously published, or is being considered for publication elsewhere, should be submitted to the American Mathematical Society, nor may a paper that is under consideration by the American Mathematical Society be submitted elsewhere.

Included with the footnotes to the paper should be the 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification representing the primary and secondary subjects of the article. 

The AMS Author Resource Center provides TeX Resources, the AMS Style Guide, the Mathematics Subject Classification, and further useful tools for preparing your manuscript. Journal abbreviations used in bibliographies are available for download.

After Acceptance

Once a paper has been accepted for publication, authors should follow the online Submission Instructions.

All authors must submit the Consent to Publish. All authors must agree regarding the Copyright Agreement. If the article is to be published in one of the AMS Open Access journals, authors must agree which Creative Commons License will be selected. Authors are encouraged to use AMS-prepared style files in preparing their papers.
