| May 31, 2010 at 16:48 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | The main problem with Expo. Math., as I see it, is that nobody knows about it. I've written two expository articles that I consider to be quite good (A beginner's guide to forcing, You could have invented spectral sequences), and I avoided Expo. Math. because I figured that nobody would ever see my work if I published it there. I think what's needed is for some bigshot to throw his or her weight behind a journal of expository work, either Expo. Math. or a brand-new journal. I've chatted informally with Gowers about this but at the time he had too many other commitments. | |

| Feb 15, 2010 at 23:11 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | @PLC: I honestly don't know, sadly. Nor do I know how true they are to their blurb: for instance, I don't know how typical Buehler's article is of what they accept. | |
| Feb 15, 2010 at 22:31 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | @YC: I would give you another +1 for the link to Buhler's paper, if possible. Maybe Expo Math is the best home for expository papers, at present? | |

Clark | ...From their website: "Our aim is to publish papers of interest to a wide mathematical audience, such as expository articles that make research results more widely accessible, and papers on topics with fairly broad appeal. Main articles must be written in such a way that a research student interested in the topic of the paper can read them profitably. Mathematical notes can be at a slightly higher level. Clarity of exposition, accuracy of details and the relevance and interest of the subject matter will be the decisive factors in our acceptance of an article for publication." | |
| Feb 15, 2010 at 21:53 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | It's certainly a step in the right direction. It looks to me that they publish a mixture of research and expository papers.... | |
