The instructions below are specifically directed at authors that wish to submit a manuscript to Journal of Mathematics and the Arts. For general information, please visit the Publish With Us section of our website.

Journal of Mathematics and the Arts considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged with all costs which Journal of Mathematics and the Arts incurs and their papers will not be published.

Contributions to Journal of Mathematics and the Arts must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.

• It is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please be sure that all imported scanned material is scanned at the appropriate resolution: 1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for colour.
• Where possible, please supply figures separate to the text in one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
• Captions, and where appropriate references, should be provided for all figures included in a manuscript.
• Where figures are supplied separately, please note in the text at which point you would like them to appear (e.g. <Insert Figure X about here>).
• Where figures are supplied separately, figure captions must also be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
• All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).
• The filename for a graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.

4. Colour

There are a limited number of colour pages within the annual print page allowance. Authors should restrict their use of colour to situations where it is necessary to the discussion at hand, and not merely cosmetic. The Editors will determine which illustrations will appear in colour in the printed journal. If the colour page budget is exceeded, authors will be given the option to provide a financial contribution to additional colour reproduction costs. Figures that appear in black-and-white in the print edition of the Journal will appear in colour in the online edition, assuming colour originals are supplied


5. Reproduction of copyright material

Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table or extensive text extract (more than fifty words) of a source that is copyrighted or owned by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor. This applies to direct reproduction as well as 'derivative reproduction', where the contributor has created a new figure or table that derives substantially from a copyrighted source. Authors are themselves responsible for the payment of any permission fees required by the copyright owner. Copies of permission letters for all items where fees will be required must accompany submissions to the Editor.

The following form of words may be used in seeking permission:
