I’m on the Editorial Board of a highly non-traditional new journal called Mathematical Discourse. A description of the journal’s aims is below. Please submit or recommend a great talk to us!

Mathematical Discourse is a new online, peer-reviewed mathematics journal, publishing videos of mathematics research talks of the highest quality. Our goal is to promote and nourish a culture which values communication as an essential part of the research process. Giving a mathematical talk captures the human side of mathematics in a unique way, and supporting these human aspects of our discipline will be ever more important in the coming years. 

We are now accepting submissions for our first issue.  If you have seen (or given!) a truly excellent, mathematically stimulating research talk which was video recorded, we hope you will encourage the speaker (possibly yourself!) to submit it.  

Our current call for submissions is limited to ~1 hour research seminar or colloquia style talks in pure mathematics. A detailed description of the scope of the journal and submission requirements are available at https://www.mathematicaldiscourse.org/submit.

We hope you will spread word of this new initiative to your colleagues and collaborators!

Sincerely yours, 

Katie Mann, Akshay Venkatesh, Rachel Webb
