About Submissions
Preparing and Submitting Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be submitted in English, French or German. Pages must be numbered consecutively and not by section or paragraph. Authors are required to include a brief abstract. The abstract should make minimal use of mathematical symbols and should not contain displayed formulas or bibliographic references. The body of the paper should begin with an introduction stating the purpose of the article and summarizing the principal results. Bibliographic references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. The format for references can be found in our current issues. Authors should consult Mathematical Reviews for the standard abbreviations of journal names.
Fast communications will be limited to 10 pages; Movie descriptions will be limited to 2 pages.
Authors are strongly encouraged to prepare their manuscript in LaTex 2e and to use the CMS class file cmslatex.cls. The class file, necessary style file, fonts, and a template are available in a compressed format for your convenience into a single “ZIP” file. Click here to download the ZIP file.
The template file explains the use of cmslatex.cls and allows you to begin typing immediately. Properly prepared LaTeX2e manuscripts allow more control over the appearance of your manuscript in the journal and can be more rapidly and accurately typeset.
If there are figures in the manuscript, they should not be executed by hand, but should be done using a software compatible with the rest of the manuscript in such a way that they can be computer generated. The preferred electronic file format for figures is EPS (Encapsulated PostScript).
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author electronically. Corrections are expected to be returned within one (1) week.
