Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Section A: Mathematics
A general mathematics journal, publishing peer-reviewed papers of international standard across the whole spectrum of mathematics.
The RSE is committed to the widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge. Through the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Proceedings A: Mathematics, the Society continues to encourage and support the international Mathematics community by:
• publishing a journal of international standing and authorship;
• aiming to have papers reviewed within three months of submission, by at least two referees of international standing; and usually publishing within six months of acceptance of revised papers.

Academic journals
The RSE publishes two academic journals that showcase high-quality research. Together, these journals provide platforms for sharing new discoveries and ideas with the global academic community. Our commitment to making knowledge useful means we act in the best interests of the scientific community, and aim to disseminate new research across society – from academic researchers, teachers, policy makers, and the media.
