Instructions for Authors
1. Submission
Manuscripts submitted to the Acta Universitatis Matthiae Belii
series Mathematics must be written in English. The submission is
made electronically; just send e-mail with a PDF file in the
attachment to the address of Editorial office.
Submitted articles should be written in LaTeX. It will be helpful
(for all, the author, reviewer and the Executive Editor) if the
submitted article is written in LaTeX-2ε, using
aumbart
document class with class option
draft
.
The authors are obliged to suggest their preferred Responsible
Editor from the Editorial Board.
The submitted article goes to the selected Responsible Editor for an
Entry Consideration. This should take at most 14 days. Then
the author will be informed by the Responsible Editor whether the
submitted article is rejected or selected for the
refereeing process.
2. The referreing process
The Responsible Editor will choose at least one confidential
referee for the article. The refereeing process should be completed
in three months if the number of pages of the article is within the
interval [1,10], in six months if the number of pages of the article
is within the interval [11,20], and in nine or more months if the
article has more than twenty pages. Based on referee's report,
the Responsible Editor recommends acceptance or rejection of the paper
and the author will immediately receive the information about this.
More precisely,
the possible outcomes of the refereeing process and the Responsible
Editor's recommendations are:
- The article is accepted without change;
- The article is accepted subject to minor changes;
- The article needs major revision and referreing process must be passed again;
- The article is rejected.
3. The publication process
Once the article is accepted for publication without further change
required (the outcome number 1 above), the author must
provide the article source written in LaTeX-2ε, using
aumbart
document class, including all resources (such as figures, graphs) in
suitable form. (The good sign of this suitable form for the author
is if the article can be processed by pdfLaTeX without any errors.)
Full source code and other resources must be sent by email to the
address of Editorial office.
Compressed files can be attached into e-mails (it is safer); use ZIP
or RAR, please. The final form of an article should be published in
Online edition within 14 days from the day of obtaining the complete
final form. Please consult details of publication with the Executive Editor.
4. Preparing manuscripts and final forms
Submitted articles could be and final forms of articles must
be prepared using LaTeX-2ε and document class
aumbart. We recommend using pdfLaTeX for compilation.
Here is the downloadable form of class files, including template and
example files:
- aumbart-win.zip - suitable for Windows, DOS and OS/2 TeX distributions;
- aumbart-unx.zip - suitable for Unix, Mac OS X and Linux TeX distributions.
- Use actual version of aumbart class file;
- Do not make any changes to aumbart.cls;
- Do not change any size parameters, i.e. do not use \setlength command, package geometry or any of this kind;
- Do not use vertical spaces, such as \bigskip,\medskip,\vskip, etc.
- Do not redefine environments such as definition, theorem, proof and others, predefined by class;
- Do not redefine the predefined counters;
- Do not create lists by hand - use itemize and enumerate instead, or in display math gather, aligned, or similar;
- Minimise using of packages other from implicitly included by the class; if really needed, use packages distributed in standard TeX distributions;
- If needed, use \newcommand to define you own macro, avoid using TeX primitives like \def;
- Follow the style of bibliography in aumbart-template.tex. (Our own bibtex style will be available in the future.)
