Author Guidelines

Journal of Advanced Studies in Topology welcomes the submission of original research papers in Topology and its applications. Occasional review articles of a suitably high standard may also be considered. The submission of a manuscript implies an undertaking on the part of the author or authors that it is unpublished and not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts will be referred to international standards.

Advice to Authors

The style of articles should be lucid but concise. The text should be preceded by a short descriptive title and an informative abstract of not more than 100 words. Keywords or phrases and the 2000 AMS Classification should also be included. The main body of the text should be divided into numbered sections with appropriate headings. Items should be numbered in the form Lemma 2.4., Definition 2.5. These items should be referred to in the text using the form Lemma 2.4., Definition 2.5. Figures and tables should be incorporated into the text. A numbered caption should be placed above them. References should be punctuated according to the following examples, be listed in alphabetical order according to the (first) author's surname, and be numbered consecutively and referred to in the text by the same number enclosed in square brackets. Only recognized abbreviations of the names of journals should be used.

Preparation of Manuscripts 

Manuscripts will be typeset using the LATEX typesetting system. Authors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper via the online submission system (If you face any problem in sending your paper  through our system, you can send it to the e-mail: jast@m-sciences.com). Figures and other artwork should be submitted in electronic form wherever possible. Windows metafile (wmf) or Postscript (ps, eps) are the preferred formats, but a separate Word file of each figure may be suitable. More detailed information, and a style file for preparing the final form of accepted articles, will soon be available from this site.

The authors MUST use the LaTeX template file to prepare their paper for review and publishing process (Click here to download the template).

Offprints

The published articles are available for download on the journal website so we don't send Offprints.
