Open Access
You have the option to publish open access in this journal via our Open Select publishing program. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership and impact of your research. Articles published Open Select with Taylor & Francis typically receive 95% more citations* and over 7 times as many downloads** compared to those that are not published Open Select.
Your research funder or your institution may require you to publish your article open access. Visit our Author Services website to find out more about open access policies and how you can comply with these.
You will be asked to pay an article publishing charge (APC) to make your article open access and this cost can often be covered by your institution or funder. Use our APC finder to view the APC for this journal.

Preparing Your Paper
Articles, Notes, Problems and Solutions, Book Reviews, Mathbits, Letters to the Editor
Should be written with the following elements in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion; acknowledgments; declaration of interest statement; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figures; figure captions (as a list)
Should contain an unstructured abstract of 250 words.
Read making your article more discoverable, including information on choosing a title and search engine optimization.
The Monthly's readers expect a high standard of exposition; they look for articles that inform, stimulate, challenge, enlighten, and even entertain. Monthly articles are meant to be read, enjoyed, and discussed, rather than just archived. Articles may be expositions of old or new results, historical or biographical essays, speculations or definitive treatments, broad developments, or explorations of a single application. Novelty and generality are far less important than clarity of exposition and broad appeal. Appropriate figures, diagrams, and photographs are encouraged.
Notes are short, sharply focused, and possibly informal. They are often gems that provide a new proof of an old theorem, a novel presentation of a familiar theme, or a lively discussion of a single issue.
Abstracts for articles or notes should entice the prospective reader into exploring the subject of the paper and should make it clear to the reader why this paper is interesting and important. The abstract should highlight the concepts of the paper rather than summarize the mechanics. The abstract is the first impression of the paper, not a technical summary of the paper. Excessive use of notation is discouraged as it can limit the interest of the broad readership of the MAA, and can limit search-ability of the article.
Letters to the Editor on any topic are invited. Comments, criticisms, and suggestions for making the Monthly more lively, entertaining, and informative can be forwarded to editor Susan Colley.
Mathematics Subject Classification. Authors should also provide appropriate 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification terms for their paper. Please read our page about making your article more discoverable for recommendations on title choice and search engine optimization. The "Mathematical Subject Classification Index (MSC)," available at http://www.ams.org/msc/msc2020.html, or in pdf form at https://www.mathscinet.ams.org/msc/pdfs/classifications2020.pdf. When submitting your manuscript, please provide at least one and up to three 5-digit MSC classifications that best describe your paper.
Notes on contributors. Please supply a short biographical note (2 to 5 sentences) for each author on original articles only. Notes and reviews do not run author bios.
Submitting Proposed Problems or Solutions
The MAA Press works in partnership with Submittable.com to process the problem and solution submissions for The American Mathematical Monthly. Submittable is a web-based manuscript management system that enables us to receive, process, track, and archive the problem and solution submissions.
