Instructions for Authors

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

BJMA is an author-prepared journal which means that authors are responsible for the proper formatting of accepted manuscripts by using the style file of BJMA. The abstract should not exceed 200 words. The authors should include as footnotes for the first page, keywords and phrases as well as 2000 Mathematics Subject Classifications. Other footnotes may also be included in the first page about supporting grants, presentations, etc. References should be listed in 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], etc (To see the correct form of all references use Abbreviations of names of serials or MRLookup).

Submision:
The manuscripts must be electronically submitted to the Editor-in-chief at moslehian@ferdowsi.um.ac.ir (not to any editor or advisory editor) in LaTeX and PDF formats. Each submission must be accompanied with an effective Cover Letter, in which the corresponding author, on behalf of all authors, MUST provide:

1. Author(s) Information: (a) Name, (b) Surname, (c) Sexuality (d) Last academic degree, (d) Tel and (e) Email address of each author.

2. A member of the editorial board, who may be considered appropriate for handling the article. However, assignment to that particular editor is not assured.

3. A list (names, countries and e-mails) of 4 or more potential referees, who are good experts in the area of research (suggested referees should not be an advisory editor or editor of BJMA and not be a family member). Most of suggested referees should be from American countries, Japan or Europe. However, assignment to the suggested referees is not assured.

4. A confirmation of the fact that ALL authors of the manuscript have agreed to its submission to BJMA and are responsible for its content.
