This paper is meant as an introduction to a special issue on circulating mathematics via journals, from ca 1850 to 1950. It intends to study the practices, actors, places and institutions involved in mathematical circulation. Journals constitute one of the main carriers of mathematical knowledge and hence the main vehicle for its circulation. The focus of the paper is on ‘mathematical’ (understood very broadly) journals and the various forms of interplay between them. In order to understand and analyse the processes of circulation that are an important feature of mathematical production, the interactions that take place between journals are considered across different scales, from local practices and representations to more global appraisals. We shall use the notion of circulation space in order to break down the representations of the mathematical world in terms of the centres and peripheries suggested by the geographical area, with its massive publishing centres at different times – Paris, London, Berlin, Leipzig, New York, etc. Besides the geographical dimensions, the focus is on connections between journals, polarisations, competition, rivalries, etc. Résumé Ce numéro spécial d'Historia Mathematica est consacré à la circulation des mathématiques par l'intermédiaire des journaux entre 1850 et 1950. Les articles de ce numéro concernent les acteurs, les pratiques et les inscriptions territoriales de ces journaux, mais surtout les interactions multiformes entre journaux mathématiques, pris au sens le plus large. Afin de comprendre et analyser les processus de circulations, qui sont partie prenante de la production mathématique, ces interactions y sont décrites à différentes échelles, des pratiques et représentations locales à des dynamiques plus globales. La notion d'espace de circulation permet de faire éclater les représentations du monde mathématique en termes de centres et de périphéries que suggère pourtant l'espace géographique, avec ses pôles d'édition massifs qu'ont pu être à différentes époques, Paris, Londres, Berlin, Leipzig, New York … À côté de ces dimensions géographiques, l'espace de circulation mathématique dépend aussi de facteurs structurels comme les proximités entre journaux, les interactions, polarisations, concurrences, rivalités, etc.
