CAMCoS Editorial

Authors are expected to meet our ethical guidelines on intellectual property, plagiarism, contributorship, and disclosure of financial support. See the full policies for authors here.

Originality

Submission of a manuscript acknowledges that the manuscript is original and is not, in whole or in part, published or under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors are also required to attest that the manuscript will not be submitted elsewhere while under consideration for publication in this journal. The submitted article must not be a revision of a rejected article previously submitted to this journal, unless the authors have been explicitly invited to resubmit by the editorial board of the journal.

Choice of editor

During submission, authors have the opportunity to suggest one or more suitable editors to handle their submission. They should choose editors whose interests and expertise are best aligned with the subject of the paper. Suggested editors should not have close connections to any one author (e.g., as a former advisor/student, a close relative, a colleague at the same institution, or a close collaborator). Editorial suggestions, if any, are nonbinding: the journal will take them under advisement but may choose to assign a different handling editor.

Language

Manuscripts must be in English.

Length

Although there is no strict page limit for CAMCoS articles, editors have final discretion on imposing any such constraints, as deemed appropriate. Authors should note that long articles may naturally necessitate a longer review process.

Format

Submission requires uploading the paper in PDF format here. If your submission is accepted you will then need to supply source files, preferably in a variety of TeX or LaTeX, or in other software such as Word.

Required items

Abstract

A brief abstract must be included. It should be self-contained and not make any reference to the bibliography.

Keywords and subject codes

Keywords and at least one Mathematics Subject Classification code for the article are required.

Author information

For each coauthor, postal address and affiliation (if appropriate) are required. Each coauthor must provide a valid email address that belongs only to that person and is not shared with anyone. Changes in email address should be communicated promptly.

References

Bibliographical references should be complete, including article titles and page ranges. All references in the bibliography should be cited in the text. The use of BibTeX is preferred but not required. Tags will be converted to the journal format.

Figures

Figures must be of publication quality. After acceptance, you will need to submit the original source files in vector graphics format for all diagrams in your manuscript; vector EPS or vector PDF files are the most useful. Bundle your figure files into a single archive (using zip, tar, rar or other format of your choice) and upload on the link you will be provided at acceptance time. For questions, please write to graphics@msp.org with as many details as you can about how your graphics were generated.

Each figure should be captioned and numbered so that it can float. Small figures can be kept in the text (e.g., "The curve looks like this:").

Proofs

Page proofs will be made available to authors (or to the designated corresponding author) in PDF format. Failure to acknowledge the receipt of proofs or to return corrections within the requested deadline may cause publication to be postponed.
