Paper format

Accepted papers written in LaTeX that conform substantially with our guidelines will incur no production fee. Papers that do not do so will incur a publication fee. (Note that papers need to comply with the guidelines only after they are accepted, not when they are submitted.)

In brief, the guidelines, which are explained in detail on separate pages for users of Scientific Word and other users of LaTeX, are as follows:

1. All section (subsection, subsubsection, ...) heads are generated by the LaTeX sectioning commands.
2. All theorems, lemmas, proofs, and other similar objects are generated by LaTeX environments.
3. Wherever possible, spacing should be controlled by LaTeX environments rather than inserted "manually."
4. All cross-references are produced automatically using the LaTeX \ref mechanism.
5. Opening and closing quotation marks are used appropriately.
6. Appropriate punctuation appears at the end of displayed equations.
7. Mathematical expressions in the text include only mathematics, not any characters (for example, punctuation) that is part of the text.
