1. Information for Authors

The editorial board presents a multidisciplinary journal which publishes papers on fundamental research in modern mathematics and physics.

The journal publishes original papers, reviews and short communications as well as information on recent conferences and books related to mathematics and physics. Special issues containing conferences, symposiums and workshops proceedings will be considered through consultation with the editor.

The journal publishes four regular issues each year and represents an official publisher of Siberian Federal University. Identical standards of acceptance are rigidly applied to all submitted manuscripts, which include at least two peer-reviewers approval and editorial board acceptance.

The editor is allowed to improve style and language of a paper without notification of the author if the changes do not concern the scientific content and meaning. Submitted manuscripts must not have been published, accepted for publication, or be under consideration elsewhere.

There are three categories of contributions to the journal:

1. Primary research papers generally comprise up to 12 printed pages (including tables, figures and references) and constitute the main content of the journal.
2. Review papers are long papers which may comprise up to 20 printed pages; prospective authors should consult with the editor before submitting such a long manuscript, either directly or through a member of the editorial board. Review papers may have quotations (text and illustrations) from previously published work, but authors are responsible for obtaining copyright clearance wherever this applies.
3. Short research notes, 2–4 printed pages, presenting concise information on current topics.

We publish papers written in Russian or English. For papers written in Russian the authors must additionally supply the paper title, the names of the authors, addresses of affiliation, an abstract and keywords in English. We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language use is corrected before submission.

All manuscripts must be prepared in TeX system (preferably, LaTeX2_ε system), documentclass{article}, usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts, babel[russian]} etc. All manuscripts must be typed in a 12-point font and must be double-spaced throughout with margins of 2.5–3 cm, including the text, references, tables, table headings, etc. The abstract should be written in past tense. The content of manuscripts should be well-organized. The first page should contain the title of the contribution, the names of the authors, the addresses of affiliations, an abstract of up to 250 words and up to six keywords. Use full names (including first names) of the authors and complete addresses with ZIP or postal numbers.

Figures should preferably be submitted in vector graphics format, and either embedded as such in a TeX document or saved in EPS format.

The manuscript should be submitted by e-mail to the editorial office at journal@sfu-kras.ru. Please send files with .tex and .pdf extension for body text and .eps files for graphics. The manuscript submission must be accompanied by a cover letter from the corresponding author. It should contain information on authors affiliations and addresses and a list of potential reviewers. All subsequent correspondence regarding the manuscript will be handled by e-mail.

Papers which comply with the journal scope and style are sent to at least two referees. The authors must provide a list of three potential reviewers who must be acknowledged specialists in the concerned discipline. The affiliation, address and contact information (telephone number and e-mail) for each potential referee should be given. Manuscripts returned to authors with referee reports should be revised and sent back to the editors as soon as possible. Final decisions on acceptance or rejection are made by the editor-in-chief. The journal intends to publish any paper within 6 months of acceptance.

The corresponding author of each accepted paper should present to the editors one hard copy of the act of expertise (for Russian authors only). The author will receive a Consent-to-Publish/Copyright form to sign and return to the publisher as a prerequisite for publication.
