Authors guide

Articles containing new results in the field of fundamental mathematics and not of a review nature are accepted for publication in the journal "Mathematical Transactions".

The article should not contain overly detailed general arguments and repetitions. The total volume occupied by figures and (or) tables should not exceed 10% of the volume of the article. There are no restrictions on the length of the article. If the number of pages exceeds 60 (regular article style, 12pt), then it is recommended to break the article into parts.

  • Articles previously published, as well as submitted to other publications, are not considered by the editorial board.
  • Articles previously published in English are not accepted for publication.
  • When submitting an article to the journal “Mathematical Transactions”, please confirm that the article has not been translated in any other printed publications.
  • Please do not send articles that do not correspond to the journal’s profile.
  • Authors are not charged for publishing articles.

Articles received by the editor must undergo peer review, and then the editorial board decides on the possibility of their publication in the journal. By submitting an article to the editors of the journal "Mathematical Works", the author (co-authors) transfers to the publisher, free of charge, for the duration of copyright under the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the exclusive right to use the article or a separate part of it (if the editorial board of the Journal accepts the article for publication) on the territory of all states where copyrights are protected by virtue of international treaties of the Russian Federation, including the following rights: reproduction, distribution, public display, communication to the public, translation into foreign languages ​​(and the exclusive right to use works in the above ways) to grant all of the above rights to other persons. Simultaneously with the author's proofreading of the article, the author (co-authors) sends to the editor a signed license agreement (in 2 copies) for the right to use the scientific work in the journal (the agreement form can be downloaded here).

The manuscript of the article is submitted to the editor by email in the form of 2 files:

  • source file in LaTeX format
  • printed electronic file in ps or pdf format

To review, just send a ps-file (Postscript-file) or pdf-file. A file in MS Word is also acceptable at the review stage, but after accepting the article for publication, we ask the authors to be sure to translate the article into LaTeX format, taking into account the rules for formatting an article for the journal “Mathematical Transactions”. Articles containing drawings are considered only after agreement with the editor on technical issues related to the preparation of drawings. Be sure to accompany your drawings with the corresponding files. The text of the article must be written in Russian and carefully verified.

The text must be accompanied by information about all authors indicating:

  • last name, first name and patronymic
  • full postal address
  • place of work, position, business address
  • scientific degree, title
  • SPIN code and AuthorID according to the Russian Science Citation Index
  • Scopus Author ID
  • email addresses, phone numbers

Everything specified is presented not only in Russian, but also necessarily in English. The covering (electronic) letter must indicate that the article is proposed for publication in the journal “Mathematical Transactions”.

In addition, the following standard information must be provided.

  • A brief abstract of the article (no more than 2-7 sentences), which characterizes the problem under consideration and the results obtained. The abstract should not contain disabled formulas, new (entered by the author when typing) command sequences (especially with parameters), abbreviations and references to the bibliography.
  • Key words and phrases (no more than 15 words).
  • Link to financial support for the article by grants, if any.
  • UDC index.

The title of the article, abstract, keywords, links to financial support of the article by grants and list of references should be submitted not only in Russian, but also in English (can be a separate file). Articles accepted for publication undergo editorial preparation, after which the text of the article is sent to the author for proofreading. Articles are published only after the editors receive an e-mail in which the author agrees with all edits. After the article is published in Russian, the article is translated (author's translations are also acceptable) and published in the journal Siberian Advances in Mathematics within 2 years.


Article design

Since the journal is published using the LaTeX macro package, the editors accept files prepared using the specified system in the article style. As a rule, we ask you to send:

  • source file in LaTeX format
  • printed file in ps or pdf format,
  • picture files, if they are included in the article.

If there are no pictures, then the source file of the article must be one (not contain inclusions using commands like \input or \include, except for the generally accepted ones, i.e. one article one file). Please also refrain from using exotic (rarely used) or homemade packages and styles. Redefining command sequences is not encouraged. You should mostly use standard macro package tools.

The source file of the article, typed in LaTeX format, must begin with the commands:


\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[cp866]{inputenc} % If you type in DOSe
\usepackage[cp1251]{inputenc} % If typing on Windows
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\textwidth 14cm % or 140 mm - width of the text area
\textheight 21cm % or 210 mm - height of the text area

Registration of the bibliography

A list of references is printed at the end of the article in the order in which references to literature appear in the text, regardless of their language. References to literature in the text are formatted using LaTeX commands. References to unpublished works are not recommended. When describing a link in a foreign language, all service elements of the description are given in that language. The list of references must be formatted using \bibitem and included in the main file of the article. If the text of the article does not contain a reference to any work from the list of references, then you should either make a reference in the text to this work or remove it from the list of references.

Forming a link to an article

The following information must be provided.
  • Last name and initials of the author (or authors).
  • Full title of the article (indicating the part number if the article consists of several parts).
  • The name of the journal in abbreviated form.
  • Year of publication. Indicated even in the case of “in print”.
  • Journal volume.
  • Journal number (issue), if any.
  • The beginning and end pages of the article, separated by an en dash (--). The paragraph may be omitted only in the case of “in print.”

The name of the journal refers to the officially used Russian and English abbreviations of the cited journals, although they are far from obvious and figuring them out is not always a trivial task.
In addition, we remind you that along with the list of references, authors must provide its translation in to English. Below is the translation of the link to Russian-language article implies transliteration of the authors' full names, translation into English of the title of the article and that recording of the title of the Russian-language magazine in Latin, which is actually used in Western literature when referring to this publication, for example, in Zentralblatt.
