Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published before and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The Publications of the Research Insitute for Mathematical Sciences operate a single blind peer review process conducted by external reviewers selected by the editorial board.
The Publications of the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences is a Subscribe to Open (S2O) journal, which means that articles may be published open access. There are no author fees or article processing charges associated with this model of open access. Open access articles are published under the CC-BY 4.0 license. The articles that are not published with proper open access, are granted the so-called green open access, meaning that the authors’ final version, not edited by the publisher yet, can be posted in institutional or other repositories, as well as on the authors’ institutional web pages without any embargo. These papers become freely accessible – but remain copyright protected – after five years. Authors may review our Terms of Digital Access for further information regarding licenses and repository deposits.
In case the paper is accepted for publication, the Journal strongly encourages authors to make available LaTex files for typesetting purposes. To prepare the article, use the journal’s LaTeX document class file ems-journal-prims.cls (right-click the link and select ‘save link target as’ to download) and follow the sample file: prims-sample.tex, prims-sample.pdf.
The title page should include the name, affiliation and address (together with email address) of each author, a short abstract, the 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification (e.g., Primary 16G10; Secondary 16G20, 16G21) and key words. A list of the subject classifications above, as well as the journal abbreviations for the references, can be found in the annual index of Mathematical Reviews.
Footnotes should be avoided.
To avoid distortion from rescaling, figures must not be wider than 125 mm. They should be sent as EPS file (encapsulated PostScript).
All figures, tables, etc. should be numbered, with the insertion place clearly indicated.
References should be listed at the end of the manuscript in the form: author(s), title of paper, journal title (abbreviated in accordance with Mathematical Reviews), volume number, year of publication in parentheses, and page numbers. For books, indicate also the publisher. The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order. Items not cited in the text should not appear in the list. Checking your manuscript with MRef is encouraged.
The author(s) will be granted an opportunity to correct the galley proofs once before publication. Excessive changes will be charged.
