Prestigious mathematics titles to be published by Oxford Journals

Oxford Journals is pleased to announce a new publishing 
partnership with the London Mathematical Society 
(LMS)<http://www.lms.ac.uk/> to publish three titles: Proceedings 
of the London Mathematical Society 
<http://www.plms.oxfordjournals.org/>, Journal of the London 
Mathematical Society <http://www.jlms.oxfordjournals.org/>, and 
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society 
<http://www.blms.oxfordjournals.org/>.

The journals of the LMS are among the world's leading 
mathematical research periodicals, between them covering a broad 
spectrum of mathematics, including the whole of pure mathematics, 
as well as more applied areas of analysis, mathematical physics, 
theoretical computer science, probability, and statistics.

The move to Oxford Journals marks a new chapter for the LMS 
titles, which from January 2007 will offer subscribers* access to 
the complete electronic archive of papers, dating back to 1865. 
The journal archive includes previously hard-to-find papers from 
leading British and international mathematicians over the last 
150 years, including classic papers of Turing, Hardy, and 
Littlewood.

Dr Susan Hezlet, Publisher for the LMS, commented, "We are 
looking forward to seeing all the published volumes online for 
the first time, thanks to the work done by Oxford Journals." She 
continued,

"The vast majority of the published papers have never been 
available electronically before, and each journal will have a 
seamless archive from Volume one through to the present day. This 
should make life simple for anyone wanting to search or browse 
through the rich history from De Morgan, Kelvin, and Rayleigh; 
through Russell, Turing, Hall, Higman, and Hodge; right up to 
Atiyah and Hitchin."

The journals will be published by Oxford Journals from January 
2007. Free access to the three LMS journals will be available for 
the first six months of 2007.
