Instructions for Authors

Preparation
Manuscripts should be typeset in English with double spacing by using AMS-LaTex. The authors should use the KJM style file that has been developed for LaTeX2e standard and can be found at KJM_style_file_Latex.tex (see also KJM_style_file_Latex.pdf ).

The KJM is an author-prepared journal which means that authors are responsible for the proper formatting of accepted manuscripts by using the style file of the KJM. The authors should carefully take care of the following items in their manuscripts:

· Abstract: 200 words or less with no reference number therein.

· MSC2010: Primary: only 1 item; Secondary: at most 4 items.

· Key words: At least 3 items and at most 5 items.

· Authors: Full names, mailing addresses and emails of all authors. Only one of authors should be the corresponding author.

· Typset: Each Theorem, Proposition, Corollary, Lemma, Definition, Example, etc should be typeset in its respective environment such as \ begin{theorem}...\end{theorem}.

· Margins: A long formula should be broken into two or more lines. Empty spaces in the text should be removed.

· Tags (formula numbers): Equations in the text should be labeled by \label{A}. References to them should be typeset by using \eqref{A}. Unused tags should be removed. Manual numbering of equations or sections should be avoided.

· Acknowledgement: If there is any, at the end of paper but preceding to the references.

· References: Use \cite{B} to refer to an specific book/paper B in the text. Remove unused references. References should be listed in the alphabetical order according to the surnames of the first author at the end of the paper and should be cited in the text as, e.g., [2] or [3, Theorem 4.2], etc.

· Abbreviations: Abbreviations of titles of periodicals/books should be given by using Math. Reviews, see Abbreviations of names of serials or MRLookup.

Submission

The manuscripts must be submitted via

http://kjm-math.org/

Acknowledgement of the receipt and the notification of the editorial decision on publication will be sent by the system via email. All editorial correspondences should be addressed to the editors-in-chief at bmashayekhyf@yahoo.com and hvishki@yahoo.com.

Referee process

Submitted papers must be correct, original, nontrivial, and well written. If the language used is very poor, the manuscript will be rejected. A submitted paper will be refereed in the traditional way by at least one referee. The KJM tries to make the decision within 4 months after submission (but this primarily depends on the referees), after that time kindly send a reminder to the editors-in-chief. If necessary, the corresponding author would be asked to revise the manuscript according to referee report(s). The editorial board reserves the right to make reasonable modifications in wording.

Galley proof

The galley proofs of each paper will be sent to the corresponding author, who is responsible for checking and approving the manuscript on behalf of all coauthors. A limited number of typographical corrections are anticipated and extensive revisions may be reviewed again.

Frequency
One volume per year consisting of 2 issues.
