Presents high-quality research on deep ocean basins and the global mid-ocean ridge systemMarine Geophysical Research (MGR) has a long-established reputation for high quality geophysical research and data on deep ocean basins. Reflecting international efforts to better understand the global mid-ocean ridge system, its focus has broadened to include studies of continental margin geophysics, structure, stratigraphy and sediment deposition processes. The editors of MGR anticipate a rising rate of advances in this sphere in coming years, reflecting the diversity and complexity of processes in the margins. The range of coverage of Marine Geophysical Research extends to:new techniques for imaging the deep sea floorthe development of new tools for measuring the physical properties of sediments and rocks in continental and oceanic plate margins, as well as ridge settings.Marine Geophysical Research reaches a large and growing community of readers worldwide.Marine Geophysical Research does not charge for colour illust

Maritime Studies (or MAST) is an existing journal, formerly produced by the Center for Maritime Research (MARE) in Amsterdam. It will now be published open access together with Springer in its SpringerOpen portfolio of peer-reviewed fully open access journals. MAST  is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to maritime issues and is a sequel to Maritime Anthropological Studies, which appeared between 1988 and 1993. MAST has a social science focus, but functions as a platform for scholars from a broad range of disciplines who are engaged in research on maritime and coastal matters, from an academic or applied point of view. MAST was launched on December 4, 2002 and is published twice per year. MARE (Center for Maritime Research) is an interdisciplinary social-science institute studying the use and management of marine resources. Its objective is to provide a stimulating intellectual climate for academics and policymakers in Europe as well as in the South. Although MARE limits its action radius to the social sciences, it seeks active collaboration with other disciplines. It strives to maintain a balanced mix of academic and policy-oriented research. MARE takes a global perspective, emphasizing the coastal zones of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, drawing on expertise from fields such as law, history, economics, political science, public administration, anthropology, and geography.

Mathematical Foundations of Machine Learning (MFML) is a forum for the publication of highest-quality peer-reviewed papers on the broad mathematical foundations of machine learning.

• Encourages papers concerned with all pure and applied mathematical aspects of machine learning, with a particular focus on foundational work.
• Explicitly encourages papers of conceptual value residing in the synthesis of mathematical theories and their application to fundamental problems in machine learning theory and practice.
• All papers must be characterised by originality and mathematical rigour; survey papers are welcome as well and must exhibit originality in the synthesis of the material and their vantage point.
• For a paper to be accepted, it is not enough that it contain original results. In fact, results should be highly relevant to the mathematical foundations of machine learning with a wide readership in mind.

Aims and scope Mathematical Geosciences (formerly Mathematical Geology) publishes original, high-quality, interdisciplinary papers in geomathematics focusing on quantitative methods and studies of the Earth, its natural resources and the environment.  This international publication is the official journal of the IAMG.   Mathematical Geosciences is an essential reference for researchers and practitioners of geomathematics who develop and apply quantitative models to earth science and geo-engineering problems.  Renaming the journal as of January 1, 2008 aims to better reflect the content of the journal and meets the growing multi-disciplinary interests and diversity of our readers and contributors.

The Mathematical Intelligencer publishes articles about mathematics, about mathematicians, and about the history and culture of mathematics. Written in an engaging, informal style,* our pages inform and entertain a broad audience of mathematicians and the wider intellectual community. We welcome expository articles on all kinds of mathematics, and articles that portray the diversity of mathematical communities and mathematical thought, emergent mathematical communities around the world, new interdisciplinary trends, and relations between mathematics and other areas of culture. Humor is welcome, as are puzzles, poetry, fiction, and art.  *Note: The traditional Definition/Theorem/Proof style of research articles is not appropriate here, nor are articles aimed only at specialists.

In addition, Mathematical Methods of Operations Research includes a special section devoted to review papers on mathematical methods and models in interesting fields of operations research and related optimization theory

The journal is dedicated to the mathematical foundations of statistical theory. It primarily publishes research papers with complete proofs and, occasionally, survey papers on particular fields of statistics. Papers dealing with applications of statistics are also published if they contain new theoretical developments to the underlying statistical methods. The journal provides an outlet for research in advanced statistical methodology and for studies where such methodology is effectively used or which stimulate its further development.

Mathematical Physics, Analysis and Geometry is dedicated to concrete problems of mathematics and theoretical physics, with special emphasis on their connection. The journal publishes papers presenting new mathematical results in mathematical physics, analysis, and geometry with particular reference to: mathematical problems of statistical physics and fluids; complex function theory; operators in function space, especially operator algebras; ordinary and partial differential equations; and differential and algebraic geometry. The journal publishes full-length papers giving a comprehensive description of original work, as well as short communications for rapid publication of novel observations. Perspectives, Reviews and Conference Reports are published occasionally.

This is the official journal of the Mathematical Optimization Society. It publishes original articles dealing with every aspect of mathematical programming: everything of direct or indirect use concerning the problem of optimizing a function of many variables, often subject to a set of constraints. This involves theoretical and computational issues as well as application studies. Mathematical Programming consists of two series: Series A publishes original research articles, expositions and surveys, and reports on computational experimentation and new or innovative practical applications as well as short communications dealing with the above. Each issue of Series B focuses on a single subject, selected to respond to the current interests of the mathematical programming community and has one or more guest-editors, who need not be members of the editorial board. An issue may be a collection of original articles, a single research monograph or a selection of papers from an appropriate conference.

Mathematical Programming Computation (MPC) publishes original research articles covering computational issues in mathematical programming. Articles report on innovative software, comparative tests, modeling environments, libraries of data, and/or applications.

The journal's review process includes the evaluation and testing of the accompanying software. Where possible, the review will aim for verification of reported computational results. Topics covered in MPC include linear programming, convex optimization, nonlinear optimization, stochastic optimization, robust optimization, integer programming, combinatorial optimization, global optimization, network algorithms, and modeling languages.
