American Mathematical Society Electronic Journals

www.ams.org/cgi-bin/bookstore/bookpromo/journals#ejournalsandoffers

Subscribe to the 2003 print versions of Journal of the AMS, Mathematics of Computation, Proceedings of the AMS, and Transactions of the AMS and receive the electronic versions for FREE. And, once you arrange access to one or more of these free electronic versions, you will have access--at no additional charge--to two electronic-only journals of the AMS, Conformal Geometry and Dynamics and Representation Theory.

Lower rates for electronic versions: Enjoy lower subscription rates on AMS journals when you choose to receive only the available electronic versions.

Authors can use a Secure Manuscript Tracking System to check on the status of their papers in the production process. Authors may also use the citation service, through which an author of an article in an AMS ejournal can add bibliographic information about other articles that cite his or her own article. And AMS Author packages with various TeX options are downloadable in a single Zip file.

AMS Electronic Journals offer: searching across all AMS journals; free access to tables of contents and abstracts; Refereed articles are posted online before their availability in print; Subscribers can link from journal article references to MathSciNet reviews, and from MathSciNet reviews to original articles; Articles include a list of works that cite the on-screen article and mathematical symbols online; and Site-wide access. Weekly notification of new articles meeting your specifications. Email messages will list the journal name, subject area(s), author(s), and article title. These messages will also contain hyperlinks to the table of contents, abstracts, and the article itself (accessible to subscribers).

Guaranteed Archiving: The AMS guarantees to maintain an electronic archive in perpetuity. An escrow fund has been set up for the purpose of ensuring that files will be converted to readable electronic formats. In addition, back volumes of Journal of the AMS, Mathematics of Computation, Proceedings of the AMS, and Transactions of the AMS five years prior to the current year are being archived on JSTOR at www.jstor.org. Subscribers who no longer have electronic access may obtain upon request a complimentary disk containing all issues in the subscription year of the AMS journals to which they subscribed.

You are the first to know with Online FirstTM

The Online FirstTM service lets users access peer reviewed articles well before print publication, significantly reducing the time it takes for critical discoveries to reach the research community.

Reference Linking

Users can expand their research with the reference linking found within articles in SpringerLink. By clicking on references within the articles, researchers are taken to other articles and titles providing them with expanded information for their research.

Stay informed with new issues in your field with SpringerAlert

SpringerAlert is an innovative, free-of-charge service that notifies users via e-mail whenever new articles and journals become electronically available, and automatically sends the table of contents and direct links to the abstracts. Sign-up for table of contents alerts, keyword alerts, and subject area alerts.

Access via Multiple Portals

Access SpringerLink directly or through links provided by Abstracting and Indexing Services (A & I), agencies, other third party providers, or through CrossRef.

Electronic Supplementary Materials

Many titles in SpringerLink offer electronic supplementary materials such as color images, simulations, video and sound, so researchers not only read about the research in the article, but can see, and often hear the research as it happens.
