Editorial work:
I'm on the Editorial Committee of MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS, run by the American Mathematical Society. If you have comments or questions, or wish to report mistakes/corrections in MathSciNet/MR reviews, please consider first whether it may be more appropriate to send email first directly to Mathematical Reviews at mathrev@ams.org. It is likely that this will bring a faster and more informed response to specific issues than emailing me on such issues. I am happy, of course, to bring general issues and suggestions to the attention of Mathematical Reviews.
I'm on the Editorial Board for COMPOSITIO MATHEMATICA. If you want to submit a paper to this journal, DO NOT send the manuscript directly to me, neither by paper mail nor electronically. See here for submission instructions.
I'm on the Editorial Board for the ONLINE JOURNAL OF ANALYTIC COMBINATORICS. If you want to submit a paper to this journal, DO NOT send the manuscript directly to me, neither by paper mail nor electronically. See here for submission instructions.

Journal prices:
In recent years, we as authors do the work of type-setting, refereeing, and serve as editors ... for free. Meanwhile, certain publishers charge for their journals at rates that seem completely disconnected with the value of their journal and the ability of the Mathematics Community to pay. I have decided to play a role in trying to correct this exploitation as follows: as I consider submitting to a journal, refereeing a submission for them, or serving as editor for them, I will (as time permits) add to the list below their annual institutional subscription price for the UK (as best as I can ascertain). This list carries no criticism, but I do urge colleagues everywhere to boycott those that they conclude do not provide value for money, and to support those that do seem to provide value for money.
