Before the submission

Why should I publish in this journal?

Because you want to contribute to the success of such open and ethical journals. Further arguments are given here.

How selective is the journal?

The editorial board applies high international standards in every mathematical domain, based on the first submissions received, many of which are very strong.

What is the relationship between this journal and Henri Lebesgue?

The name Henri Lebesgue comes from the Henri Lebesgue Center that initiated the creation of the journal and continues to actively support it.

I am organizing a conference. Can I publish the proceedings in this journal?

No.

Are survey papers welcome?

Survey papers will be considered for publication if they are original and particularly well written.

Submission

In what language(s) can articles be submitted?

In English and in French.

What are the main steps of the reviewing process?

The AHL aims to select the most beautiful mathematical results through a rigorous and rapid editorial procedure. If preliminary reports are favourable (to be notified within a month of submission), the journal aims to obtain a full report within five months of submission. The final decision is taken collectively by the Editor in Chief and at least two other editors.

After my article is accepted for publication, do I have to send the LaTeX source file? Should I use a special LaTeX class?

After acceptance, you have to send your LaTeX source file(s) to the journal. In order to reduce our workload, we encourage you to use the AHL format provided by the cedram class, but this is not mandatory.

Does the journal accept articles in Mathematical Modelling? In applied Statistics?

Yes, this journal is intended to be really generalist. Every topic in pure and applied mathematics is welcome!

Can I attach external files (code, table of values, movies...) to my article?

Yes, it is possible: more files can be attached after your submission is completed by editing the submission.

Publication

Is this journal purely electronic?

Yes.

After acceptance, do I have to transfer the copyright of my article?

No, authors keep the intellectual property of their work. The articles are published under a generic Creative Common BY SA License.

Is this journal referenced in MathScinet and/or ZentralBlatt?

Because this is a brand new journal, it cannot be indexed by MathSciNet or ZentralBlatt yet. We will do our best to be indexed as soon as possible.

Does this journal distribute reprints to authors?

The final version of the article is sent by email to the authors but no paper reprints are issued.

Organisation

Is publication free of charge? Is reading free of charge?

Yes! Once accepted and edited, articles are freely accessible on the website of the journal. There are no charges for authors.

Why is the editorial board divided in three sections?

The editorial board is organized in three large mathematical areas, namely Algebra and Geometry, Analysis, and Probability and Statistics, so as to facilitate the submission and editorial process. However, this is flexible: we welcome interdisciplinary contributions!

How is this journal funded?

The running costs of the journal are supported jointly by the CHL, the CNRS (Mersenne/Univ. Grenoble Alpes), and the laboratories IRMAR, LAREMA, LMBA, LMLJ.

I want to help this journal. What can I do?

For now, the best you can do for the journal is intensive publicity. Spread the news to all your colleagues and convince them to submit their best papers to the Annales Henri Lebesgue. Some useful publicity material can be found here.

Can I subscribe to the journal in order to receive automatic notifications after a new article is published?

We maintain a newsletter on which summaries of new publications are posted regularly. Please visit this page to view the latest messages and to subscribe to the newsletter.

How long are administrative documents (referee's reports, etc.) kept?

All administrative documents are kept for two years from the final publication date, after which they are deleted automatically. Articles (pdf and LaTeX) are kept indefinitely (thanks to the excellent Numdam project).

Web site

Am I tracked by cookies?

No. We only use a session cookie whilst you are logged into the website; this expires as soon as you log out. If you do not log out, it expires when you close your browser, unless you checked the box "Keep me logged in" or were logged in automatically, in which case it expires within one year.

Why is the logo animated on the home page, and not on the other pages?

The logo on the home page undergoes some beautiful mathematical dynamics, but only on that page when you are inactive; we don't want you to be distracted whilst you are submitting your best papers!
