Note for Contributors (to SCMJ)

Note for Contributors

Scientiae Mathematicae Japonicae (SCMJ) call for new papers in the following manner. One of the characteristics of SCMJ is editor-receive system, and another new characteristics is author-composition system.

(A) Submission
Authors are requested to choose one of the editors in the MJ/SCM/SCMJ editors list and send their papers, satisfying all of the following condition, directly to the editor.
The editors list can be obtained from (i) URL: http://www.jams.or.jp/ (ii) "Editorial Board" of MJ, SCM or SCMJ.
Prepare three hard copies of your paper, three hard copies of Form for Submission, and send them as follows. (We are supposed to receive the Form both by regular mail and by e-mail. The Form sent by e-mail is necessary to support editor-receive system by helping editors to find the most appropriate referee.)
   - To the editor's postal address; Two hard copies of your paper, two hard copies of the Form for Submission (with the abstract)
   - To the editor's e-mail address; Form for Submission (with the abstract)
   - To the postal address of ISMS; One hard copy and one Form for Submission
   - To the e-mail address of ISMS Form for Submission (with the abstarct)

(B) Abstract
Every paper should contain an abstract. Try to limit your abstract to 20 lines when typed in TeX. The abstract should be a kind of mini research announcement which is self-contained and gives the overview of your paper. Abstracts of accepted paper are very rapidly displayed on ISMS home page and are announced all over the world via Internet. Abstracts in Paper Form and E-mail Form should be typed in text file. If it is inevitable for you to use symbols in the abstract, you may make it in a TeX source file indicating the kind of TeX as notes, for example, (via LaTeX2e).

(C) Data
The full postal address, telephone and facsimile numbers, e-mail address of the author should be specified at the bottom of the last page of the manuscript. Subject classes (of the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification) and Keywords should be written both in Paper, E-mail Form and at the footnote on the first page of the manuscript.

(D) Receipt
ISMS will send a letter of receipt when we receive a hard copy, a Paper Form and E-mail Form (if the author has e-mail facility).

(E) Revision
If revision of your paper is necessary, the editor informs you directly. When you revise abstract of your paper in that case, you should send new Paper Form with new abstract and E-mail Form with new abstract also.

(F) Acceptance or Rejection
ISMS will inform authors of acceptance or rejection of their papers by e-mail. If the paper is accepted, P authors are requested to send the following (1) & (2), T and Js authors (1) -- (4).
    (1) Two hard copies of the final draft (for publishing)
    (2) Paper Form for WWW
    (3) The source file of the final draft in TeX, by e-mail or on diskette.
    (4) E-mail form for WWW if available on e-mail.

(G) Proofreading
ISMS will send a galley proof to P and T authors only but not to Js authors (see (H)). We regard the final files sent by Js authors as ready for publication.
