| abstract | - Forum of Mathematics, Pi and Forum of Mathematics, Sigma are open-access peer-reviewed journals for mathematics licensed under creative commons which will be open to submissions from 1st October 2012 for initial publishing on 1st January 2013, published by Cambridge University Press. Currently intended to be funded by an author-pays model with fee-waivers for those that can't afford the fees, and no fees at all for any author for the journals' first three years. Unlike traditional journals there will be no issues as all articles will be available online as soon as they are accepted, although at the end of each year a collected volume will be available as print-on-demand. Pi is for high quality general articles of interest to a wide audience of mathematicians, such as would fit in the more prestigious generalist mathematics journals. Sigma, on the other hand, is for high quality specialist articles with a group of editors for different areas of mathematics. Articles that don't fit neatly into the classification of areas used by the editorial process are still welcome.
