CMAM > For Authors

Manuscripts, as LaTeX2e, PostScript, or PDF files, may be sent to the Managing Editor Peter Matus by e-mail (matus@im.bas-net.by). Besides the electronic version of the manuscript, one hard copy with signatures of all coauthors should be submitted. The signatures imply that the authors agree to automatic transfer of the copyright to the Publisher.

Submission of a manuscript is welcome provided that this manuscript, or any translation of it, has not been copyrighted or published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that, if the work has received official sponsorship, it has been duly released for open publication.

Manuscripts must be written in English.

The return of a paper to an author for corrective revision does not mean that the work has been accepted for publishing. The author shall send back a revised version of the paper and replies to all comments made by a referee.

shall consider the date of arrival of a final (revised) version as an acceptance date. The Board reserves the right to reject a paper, if a substantial part of its contents does not correspond to the journal's subject.

Any argument in connection with the motives behind such a rejection shall not be entertained.

Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to submit their TeX files to CMAM for typesetting. CMAM cannot accept electronic files for papers produced on any other typesetting or word processing system. More detailed information on CMAM's TeX-typesetting procedures is sent to authors upon receipt of manuscript submissions.

Macro packages and documentation are available in LaTeX2e. ZIP-archive cmam_style.zip contains of the following files:

cmam.clsLaTeX2e-class file
cmam.bstbibliographic style file for BibTeX
sample.texsample of source TeX-file with brief instructions
sample.psPostScript version of the manuscript sample
sample.pdfAcrobat PDF version of the manuscript sample

Titles should be brief and appropriate for indexing and should specifically describe the content of the paper.

An abbreviated title, which will be used as a running head, must accompany all articles, must not consist of more than 70 characters (including spaces), and must not contain abbreviations.

An abstract not exceeding 250 words that summarizes the principal techniques and conclusions of the manuscript in relation to known results must accompany each manuscript. Because the abstract must be able to stand independently, mathematical formulas and bibliographic references should be kept to a minimum; bibliographic references must be written out in full (not given by number).

Lists of keywords and 2000 MSC must accompany all articles. The subject classifications can be accessed at http://www.zblmath.fiz-karlsruhe.de/MATH/msc/index.

Graphics may be submitted to the CMAM in an electronic format. The CMAM recommends that graphics created electronically be saved in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. This includes graphics originated via a graphics application as well as scanned photographs or other computer-generated images.

Note that figures and tables created with the LaTeX2e figure or table environments do not need to be submitted separately from the LaTeXe file.

Many popular graphics applications under a Macintosh, Windows, or Unix environment allow files to be saved in EPS format. However, if your package does not support EPS output, save your graphics file in one of the standard graphics formats - such as TIFF, BMP, PCX, PICT, GIF, etc. - rather than in an application-dependent format. For example, if you are using SuperPaint on a Macintosh, do not send files in SuperPaint format. Instead, save the file in PICT format from SuperPaint and send the PICT files to the CMAM. Graphics files submitted in an application-dependent format are not likely to be used. No matter what method was used to produce the graphic, it is necessary to provide a paper copy to the CMAM.

Ideally, text included in graphics files should be font outlines rather than bitmaps.

References must be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the manuscript. Titles of journals should be abbreviated in accordance with Zentralblatt MATH; abbreviations are available at http://www.zblmath.fiz-karlsruhe.de/MATH/serials/index. The following reference styles should be used:

The length of papers is normally limited to 30 standard LaTeX pages (format A4, font size 12 pt). Publication of the papers that exceed this limit will depend on a special decision of the Editors.
