Instructions for Authors

Manuscripts may be submitted to any member of the editorial board. Authors are asked to supply two paper copies of the manuscript, and to include a short abstract of the manuscript and an email address.
Manuscripts prepared in any version of T_EX are accepted, and LaT_EX is the preferred dialect. Otherwise, manuscripts should be typewritten, with double spacing, on one side of the page only, with generous margins.
It may speed up the reviewing procedure if in addition to the paper printout of the manuscript, a ps-file, pdf-file or T_EX-file is sent simultaneously via e-mail to the corresponding editor. Please consult the editor about details before sending a file.

Articles typeset in T_EX or LaT_EX. Please do not submit files for manuscripts until requested to do so. However, when a paper is accepted, the authors are asked to supply a source file via e-mail if possible. Files using any version of T_EX can be handled, and LaT_EX is the preferred dialect. Please keep formatting macros to a minimum, to make conversion of files more accurate. Do not worry about chapter headings, running titles, bad page breaks, etc. and avoid adding extra space and using glue to improve the appearance of the manuscript. Please ensure that the material has been carefully proof-read and that the file does not require any special input files.

Figures or Graphics. Figures should be of professional quality, including all labelling, and should be provided in the form of glossy prints or Indian ink drawings. All essential details (labelling) must be legible after a reduction of at least 50 %. Figures should be submitted on seperate sheets and numbered consecutively. Figures created via a graphics package should be saved in encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. A separate file for each graphic should be submitted. In a T_EX document EPS files may be incorporated into the T_EX file by using one of the standard macro packages, such as epsf.tex (epsf.sty) or psfig.tex. Include paper copies of all the PostScript files for the graphics.

Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table (with caption) should appear on a separate page of the manuscript.

Footnotes should be avoided, or kept to a minimum.

References should be collected at the end of the paper and numbered in alphabetical order of the authors' names. Titles of journals should be abbreviated as in Mathematical Reviews. The following examples show the preferred style for references to a book, a paper in a journal, a paper in a proceedings volume, and an unpublished dissertation. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Authors' names and complete affiliations (names, institution, city, state, and zip code) should be placed below the list of references.

Authors should inform the journal Advances in Geometry of changes of address while their paper is under consideration. The e-mail address for Advances in Geometry is:

advgeom@mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de

In all other matters arising before the acceptance of papers, authors are requested to communicate directly with the appropriate editor.

Authors will receive two sets of page proofs for correction. Joint authors should indicate on the original manuscript which of them should receive the page proofs. Only typographical errors should be corrected in the proofs. If excessive alterations to the original manuscript are requested after the paper has been typeset, the authors will be charged for the cost of resetting.

Fifty offprints for each article will be supplied free of charge. Additional offprints may be ordered when the proofs are returned.
