IMU issues Best Current Practices for Journals
September 3, 2010
Following on its 2004 document offering recommendations
to mathematics journals for best practices as they relate to the
changing environment of peer-reviewed journals and the communication of
research in the digital age, the International Mathematical Union (IMU) Committee on Electronic Information
and Communication (CEIC) recently released an updated document endorsed
by the IMU General Assembly, held August 16-17, 2010, in Bangalore,
India. Based on experiences drawn from existing journals, the document
outlines current best practices for journal management within the
framework of currently available technology. The focus is on ensuring
fundamental principles such as transparency and integrity, even as
practices are continually revised and updated to keep up with emerging
technological developments.
