[N.B.:  Another re-send, due to problems last night.  This is a 
particularly interesting message, given Hindawi staff's statement 
last week on this list that math journals represent an (the?) 
area in which Hindawi uses advanced graphics and the like, rather 
than simply producing mostly straightforward text.  The

Oxford Journals to publish four new mathematics titles in 2007

5 February 2007

Oxford Journals have today announced the purchase of four
mathematics journals from Hindawi Publishing Corporation:
International Mathematics Research Notices
International Mathematics Research Papers
Applied Mathematics Research Express
International Mathematics Research Surveys

The titles immediately join the Oxford Journals mathematics list, 
which has seen significant growth in the last year. The list 
includes some of the world's most highly read titles across a 
broad range of mathematical disciplines, including prestigious 
titles in pure and applied mathematics, as well as statistics and 
related disciplines.

Together, the four titles cover articles of high current interest 
in all areas of mathematics. All are fully peer-reviewed, and 
will be offering rapid publication online. International 
Mathematics Research Notices (IMRN), the lead title of the four, 
is currently in its 17th year of publication, publishing around 
4500 pages a year.

Catherine Morgan, Editor, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, 
Oxford Journals, commented: "We're delighted to be able to offer 
our customers access to these important titles.

"The new publishing arrangement will result in several key 
developments, including a new and cohesive online platform for 
the journals, availability of articles in html as well as pdf 
format, and greater accessibility to journal content. Importantly 
however, we will be continuing to ensure rapid editorial and 
publication processes, and are working to ensure a seamless 
transition from Hindawi to Oxford Journals for all customers".

Dr Morris Weisfeld of Duke University, Editor in Chief and 
Founding Editor of the four journals, commented: "The purchase by 
Oxford Journals, with its vast resources and experience, 
initiates a new era for these journals: a golden one. IMRN is a 
mature journal and its growth paces the overall growth in 
mathematics research papers. IMRP dealing exclusively with long 
papers is growing rapidly. IMRS is just starting up and needs a 
few years to be fully established. AMRX has the greatest 
potential and mammoth growth is expected."

Subscriptions to the journals will remain at 2007 prices stated 
by Hindawi. Access to the full archive of the IMRN dating back to 
1991 will be available online.
