Cambridge Journals, a division of Cambridge University Press (CUP), UK, has announced the launch of two new open access (OA) journals in mathematics - Forum of Mathematics, Pi and Forum of Mathematics, Sigma.
Cambridge has established the Forum of Mathematics to offer OA journals to the mathematics community, with the same high-level peer-review process as traditional subscription journals, with standards set by an international editorial board of the highest calibre.
For the first three years Cambridge University Press will waive publication charges, though authors with access to specific funds for OA publication will be encouraged to pay a low charge of £500/$750.
This project has been under development for two years and Cambridge has earmarked significant investment to provide OA models to disciplines that do not enjoy a funding tradition similar to the life and biomedical sciences.
The Forum of Mathematics journals will be hosted on Cambridge Journals Online (CJO). Content will be available online from the beginning of 2013.
