Author Guidelines

  • The article must be submitted as a PDF file suitable for printing or viewing with Acrobat Reader.
  • Authors are encouraged to prepare their papers in Latex; other forms of electronic source will usually also be useful. Good quality electronic source makes the typesetters' work much easier and so the authors of such source can expect their papers to be dealt with more promptly and with fewer errors.
  • Each typescript should include:
    • an abstract of not more than 150 words, preferably containing no formulae, and certainly containing no complicated formulae and no references;
    • 2000 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.);
    • if the title is long, a shortened form of it, no more than forty characters in length, including spaces.
  • Explain clearly what symbols are to be set in special typefaces (such as cursive, fraktur, script, bold) where this is not clear from the typescript or electronic source. The standard mathematical fonts issued by the American Mathematical Society are available to the typesetters but any other fonts or special symbols are available, if at all, only by special arrangement.
  • Avoid abbreviations, such as Thm., Prop., Ex., iff, i.e., e.g., and in the text avoid also symbols such as $\forall,\ \exists,\ \Rightarrow$, and $\Leftrightarrow$.

  • When available, provide the DOIs (preferred) or URLs to access references online, including those for open access versions of the reference.

      Submission Preparation Checklist

      As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

      1. I attest that
        1. The article is an original work, has not been published before, and is not currently under consideration for publication in another journal;
        2. The authors listed on the paper each contributed to the production of the work, and there is no other person who contributed and who might wish to be listed as an author;
        3. I am aware of and agree to the policy of the Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Incorporated that articles in the printed parts will be made freely accessible to the public five years after publication;
        4. The article contains no defamatory or unlawful statements and does not infringe the right of any third party;
        5. Where necessary to reproduce copyright material, written permission has been obtained (copies attached) from the copyright holder, and appropriate acknowledgment has been made to the original source.
        If accepted for publication, I hereby assign to the Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Incorporated full copyright in all formats and media in the article. I am the sole owner of the material, or a co-owner acting in accord with all other owners, and have full power to make this agreement. I hereby assert my moral rights as an author.
      2. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
      3. The submission file is in PDF document file format.
      4. This submission is NOT a revision of an earlier submission. Revisions of earlier submissions must be uploaded via the "Author Upload" boxes on the "Review" and "Editing" pages for the earlier submission.
       

      Copyright Notice

      In these notes, the Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Incorporated, Cambridge Journals Online, Cambridge University Press, and the Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society are abbreviated to AMPAI, CJO, CUP, and the Journal.

      1. The Journal's policy is to acquire copyright for as many articles as possible, for two reasons:
        1. ownership of copyright by one central organisation tends to ensure maximum international protection against unauthorised use;
        2. it also ensures that requests by third parties to reprint or reproduce a contribution, or part of it, are handled efficiently and in accordance with a general policy that is sensitive both to any relevant changes in international copyright legislation and to the general desirability of encouraging the dissemination of knowledge.
      2. Copyright acts in various countries confer 'moral rights' on authors. In some cases, an author's 'right of paternity', that is the right to be properly credited whenever the work is published (or performed or broadcast), must be asserted in writing.
      3. Notwithstanding the assignment of copyright in their contribution, all authors retain the following non-transferable rights:
        1. The right to post the abstract and a link to the online edition of the journal at CJO or at the Journal website.
        2. The right to post the definitive version of the contribution as published at CJO (in PDF or HTML) in the Institutional Repository of the institution in which they worked at the time the paper was first submitted, no sooner than two years after first publication of the paper in the journal, subject to file availability and provided the posting includes a prominent statement of the full bibliographical details, a copyright notice in the name of the copyright holder (AMPAI or another body, as appropriate), and a link to the online edition of the journal at CJO. Inclusion of this definitive version after two years in Institutional Repositories outside of the institution in which the author worked at the time the paper was first submitted will be subject to the additional permission of CUP on behalf of AMPAI (not to be unreasonably withheld).
        3. The right to make hard copies of the article or an adapted version for their own purposes, including the right to make multiple copies for course use by their students, provided no sale is involved.
        4. The right to reproduce the paper or an adapted version of it in any volume of which they are an editor or an author, but otherwise permission must be sought from CUP. Permission will automatically be given to the publisher of such a volume, subject to normal acknowledgement.
      4. CUP (on behalf of AMPAI) will use its best endeavours to ensure that any direct request received to reproduce a contribution, or a substantial part of it, in another publication (which may be an electronic publication) is approved by the contributor before permission is given. Multiple authors should nominate one author only to respond to such requests.
      5. CUP co-operates in various licensing schemes that allow material to be photocopied within agreed restraints (e.g., the CCC in the USA and the CLA in the UK). Any proceeds received from such licenses, together with any proceeds from sales of subsidiary rights in the Journal, directly support its continuing publication.
      6. It is understood that in some cases copyright will be held by the contributor's employer. If so, CUP (on behalf of AMPAI) requires exclusive permission to deal with requests from third parties, on the understanding that any requests received from third parties will be handled in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 above (note that approval will be sought for the proposed use from the contributor, not the employer).
      7. If a contribution includes textual or illustrative material not in your copyright and not covered by fair use/fair dealing, permission must be obtained from the relevant copyright owner (usually the publisher or via the publisher) for the nonexclusive right to reproduce the material worldwide in all forms and media, including electronic publication. The relevant permission correspondence must be attached to this form. If in doubt about whether or not permission is required, please consult: the Permissions Controller, Cambridge University Press, The Edinburgh Building, Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK. Fax: +44 (0)1223 315052. Email: lnicol@cambridge.org.
      8. The information provided on this form will be held in perpetuity by AMPAI for record purposes. The name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) of the contribution may be reproduced in the journal and provided to print and online indexing and abstracting services and bibliographic databases
