Submission Requirements

Mathematical Discourse considers math research talks which meet all of the following criteria.  

• The talk communicates mathematics research, and could be given as a math department colloquium or research seminar. However, it need not be a recording of an actual department or seminar talk — it may have been filmed at a workshop, conference, or even with no live audience.

• The talk is of interest to a broad audience of mathematicians. A colloquium should be accessible to an audience including mathematics graduate students and mathematicians outside your field; a seminar talk should be accessible to a broad mathematical audience within the Subject Area(s) you specify.

• Major results in the talk have appeared in a paper or publicly available preprint in a stable repository (for example, arXiv.org).  While some excellent talks describe work in progress, as a scholarly journal, Mathematical Discourse only publishes talks where details of the main content can be verified in writing.
• The talk duration is 45-65 minutes, excluding any question period at the end. 
• The talk was filmed within 2 years of the date it is being submitted. (Please note that we anticipate reducing the allowed age of talks to 6 months in the future.)
• Audience questions are clear in the recording. The speaker may repeat the audience question before answering it, or edit the recording, for instance by adding a text caption, slide or voiceover, or possibly editing out the question segment.  For recordings made prior to Jan 2028 we will also accept textual footnotes to a recording that contain the audience questions and timestamps.
• The speaker does not have a similar talk already being reviewed by Mathematical Discourse.
• The person submitting the talk is a speaker. If there are multiple speakers, all speakers have given consent to submission.
• The talk is in English.
• The video recording is adequate: the audio and video is of sufficient quality for the talk so the talk can be easily understood.
