Open Access Policy


We will permit open access to the full texts of the Tohoku Mathematical Journal older than five years at Project Euclid and J-STAGE. This service starts from April 2010 under the following conditions.

  1. Free access is given at these two sites designated by the Tohoku Mathematical Journal. The downloaded electronic files can be used only for noncommercial personal use.

  2. The copyrights of the papers published in or before 1989 belong to the authors while those in or after 1990 belong to the Tohoku Mathematical Journal. The users of downloaded papers are liable to comply with copyright law.

  3. In either case, authors may inform the Editorial Office that they wish to opt out of this open access agreement. In that case, we shall make the paper inaccessible as soon as practicable.

  4. The inclusion of a paper published by the Tohoku Mathematical Journal in any other repository must be authorized by the journal. Requests for inclusion in other repositories will be discussed by the Editorial Board, and may be denied.
