The Journal of Topology publishes papers of high quality and significance in topology, geometry and adjacent areas of mathematics.

Interesting, important and often unexpected links connect topology and geometry with many other parts of mathematics. The Journal of Topology Editors welcome submissions on exciting new advances concerning such links, as well as those in the core subject areas of the journal.

The Journal of Topology is wholly owned and managed by the London Mathematical Society as one of its charitable activities.

100% of the funds generated by the Society’s publications are reinvested in mathematics, supporting mathematicians and mathematics research in the form of research grants, conference grants, prizes, initiatives for early career researchers, and the promotion of mathematics.

Publishing your research in the Journal of Topology directly supports the charitable work of the London Mathematical Society.

Upon acceptance, authors will be asked to either assign an exclusive licence to publish to the Society or to publish under the Gold Open Access route.

The London Mathematical Society has adopted an ethical policy for its journals, including guidance on the expected behaviour of authors, referees, and editors. The full policy can be found here

Content published in the Journal of Topology is selected based on merit alone and irrespective of nationality, geographic location, ethnicity, political beliefs, race, or religion of the authors. Publication in the Journal of Topology of individual authors' work does not constitute endorsement by the London Mathematical Society of the policies or actions of any government or other agencies.

The Society also publishes other peer-reviewed journals. Unlike the Journal of Topology, these journals publish articles across a broad range of mathematics.

• The Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society is the Society’s flagship, high-impact publication. It publishes articles of the highest quality and significance across a broad range of mathematics, and the articles are of general interest to mathematicians.
• The Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society publishes concise articles reporting significant advances in mathematical knowledge, as well as survey articles and obituaries.
• The Journal of the London Mathematical Society publishes longer articles reporting significant advances in mathematical knowledge.
• The Transactions of the London Mathematical Society is a fully open access journal which publishes articles across the full range of mathematics.

Upon acceptance, your paper will be sent to Wiley for typesetting. You will receive a link to check your proofs via an online proofing tool. There is also an option to view these proofs as a PDF (using a button in the top right-hand corner of the tool). Production queries should be sent to jtopol@wiley.com (Wiley) or production@lms.ac.uk (�°Ŀ���Editorial Office).

The Journal of Topology is a hybrid open access journal. By default, articles in the journal will be published on a subscription basis and only be accessible to journal subscribers. The journal has options for gold and green open access publication.

Before submitting to the Journal of Topology, authors should .

If you are required to publish on an open access basis but you cannot identify a compliant route with Journal of Topology, please contact the journal team before submitting.

Green open access

The Journal of Topology also supports authors who choose to deposit their Author Accepted Manuscript on a non-commercial or institutional repository. This is usually known as green open access.

The Author Accepted Manuscript must be accompanied by a notice as follows: “This is the Author Accepted Manuscript version of the following article: [Full Citation], which has been published in final form at [Link to final article].”

There is no embargo period for posting the accepted version of the manuscript in arXiv or an institutional repository. 

Open Access Terminology

Article Version of Record – The final edited and typeset version of the article which is published in the journal.

Author Accepted Manuscript – The version of the article which was accepted by the journal editors after peer review, but has not yet been copyedited or typeset by the publisher.

Subscription publication – The Article Version of Record is published in the journal and is only accessible to journal subscribers.

Gold open access publication – The Article Version of Record is immediately freely available to access upon publication. Article re-use rights are governed by the author’s chosen Creative Commons licence.

Green open access publication – The article Version of Record is published as a Subscription publication. The author chooses to deposit the Author Accepted Manuscript on a non-commercial or institutional repository.

Article Publication Charge (APC) – A charge paid to the publisher to allow gold open access publication.
