The author who submitted the article for publication will be denoted as a corresponding author. He/She manages all communication and correspondence regarding the article. Authors should indicate a member of the Editorial Board whom they consider appropriate for the article.
In order to facilitate refereeing, copies of those papers (whether by the author or someone else) which are essential and referred to in the manuscript but are not conveniently accessible, should be enclosed.
Initial Submission (Manuscript for Review)
The submission file MUST be a single PDF generated from LaTeX source prepared according to the journal's LaTeX class file mjm.cls. No other file format will be accepted. The easiest way to prepare your manuscript is to download the style file mjm.cls and fill in this LaTeX template file (see corresponding PDF file).
The manuscript (written in English), no longer than 30 pages, should contain the following elements:
1. Basic information Authors should include the title of the article, running head less than 60 characters, author's name (no degrees), author's affiliation, e-mail addresses and mailing address(es).
2. Abstract The manuscript must be accompanied by a brief abstract, no longer than 100-150 words. It should make minimal use of mathematical symbols and displayed formulae.
3. Keywords List of 4-5 key words must be given. When choosing consider search engine optimization to make your article more visible once published.
4. Subject Classification Mathematics Subject Classification (2020) with primary (and secondary) subject classification codes (see https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/msc/msc2020.html)
5. Figures should be prepared in a digital form suitable for direct reproduction, grey scale only, preferably at resolution of 300 dpi or higher, sized to fit a journal page, and in EPS, TIFF or JPEG format. Figures should have a short descriptive title and should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text. The position of each figure in the text should be indicated.
6. Tables should have a short descriptive title and should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text.
7. Each page of the manuscript should be numbered.
8. Bibliographic references should be listed alphabetically and in numerical order at the end of the article, each numbered by an Arabic number between square brackets. The following information should be provided for references to journals: names of authors, full title of the article, abbreviated name of the journal, volume, year of publication, and range of page numbers. For standard abbreviations of journal names, the authors should consult the latest Abbreviations of Names and Serials reviewed in Mathematical Reviews (https://mathscinet.ams.org/msnhtml/serials.pdf). Unpublished materials should not appear in the reference list. Only references cited in the text should appear in the reference list.
Note: All submitted manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using anti-plagiarism software. When plagiarism is detected, the Editorial Board will reject the manuscript and do not allow future submissions by the author.
Manuscripts that fail to meet the above requirements will be rejected.
Revised Manuscript
Revised manuscripts MUST be uploaded within 2 weeks (for minor revisions) or 4 weeks (for major revisions) of authors being notified of conditional acceptance pending satisfactory revision. Revisions must still be uploaded as a single PDF generated from the revised LaTeX source files. If the revised version of a manuscript is not uploaded within the specified time, the manuscript will be withdrawn from the system, unless the editor concerned agrees to extend the deadline.
Final Submission (Accepted paper for publication)
If a submission is accepted, the contact person will receive instructions for submitting LaTeX source of final version of accepted paper, as well as all figures in EPS, TIFF or JPEG format.
Proof Correction
The corresponding author will receive a proof of the paper for checking before it is published. Authors should keep in mind that reading proofs is their responsibility. Corrections should therefore be clear and unambiguous. The main aim of proofreading is to correct errors that may have occurred during the production process, and not to modify the content of the paper. Please correct your galley proofs and return them within 5 working days.
Note: The authors do not receive a print copy of the journal/paper. All published paper will be available to download for everyone without any charge.
