Authors submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Mathematical Theory and Computation (JMTC) must ensure that their work adheres to the highest standards of scholarly writing, mathematical rigor, and academic presentation consistent with internationally recognised high-impact mathematics and computational science journals.
Manuscripts should be written in clear, precise, and professional academic English. Submissions must demonstrate originality, theoretical depth, analytical clarity, and rigorous mathematical development throughout the manuscript. Authors are expected to present mathematical arguments, definitions, propositions, lemmas, theorems, proofs, algorithms, and computational frameworks in a logically structured, reproducible, and technically accurate manner.
JMTC particularly values manuscripts that contribute meaningfully to the theoretical foundations of computation, computational mathematics, numerical analysis, mathematical modelling, and related mathematical sciences. Purely descriptive writing, unsupported claims, excessive informal exposition, or computational experimentation without rigorous theoretical contribution are not suitable for publication in the journal.
Authors should ensure that:
- The manuscript presents original and unpublished work not under consideration elsewhere.
- Theoretical contributions and mathematical novelty are clearly identified.
- All notation, terminology, variables, and symbols are consistent and properly defined.
- Mathematical statements and proofs are complete, rigorous, and verifiable.
- Equations are accurately formatted and sequentially numbered where appropriate.
- The manuscript maintains logical flow, academic clarity, and technical precision throughout.
- References are accurate, relevant, complete, and formatted consistently according to scholarly standards.
- All sources, theories, and previously published works are appropriately cited.
- The manuscript complies with ethical publishing standards and is free from plagiarism, duplicate submission, or unethical authorship practices.
Authors are strongly encouraged to structure manuscripts according to internationally accepted mathematical publishing conventions. Where appropriate, submissions should include:
- Title
- Abstract
- Keywords
- Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) Codes
- Introduction
- Preliminaries or Background
- Main Results
- Proofs and Theoretical Development
- Conclusion
- References
- Conflict of Interest Statement
- Data and Code Availability Statement (where applicable)
Abstracts should be concise, self-contained, and clearly describe:
- The mathematical problem or research question
- The principal theoretical contribution
- Core methods or analytical framework
- Main findings or conclusions
- The significance and originality of the work
Authors should also provide relevant keywords and appropriate MSC codes to improve discoverability, indexing precision, and scholarly visibility.
For manuscripts involving computational methods, numerical analysis, symbolic computation, datasets, simulations, or algorithms, authors must provide sufficient methodological and theoretical detail to support reproducibility and independent verification of results. Where applicable, convergence analysis, stability analysis, complexity analysis, or error analysis should be included. Authors are encouraged to provide access to relevant datasets, scripts, software, or supplementary computational materials through appropriate repositories or supplementary files.
Figures, tables, graphs, and algorithms should be publication-quality, clearly labelled, and directly relevant to the manuscript’s theoretical contribution. Decorative or unnecessary visual elements should be avoided.
JMTC reserves the right to return manuscripts for technical revision prior to peer review if they do not meet the journal’s standards for language quality, mathematical rigor, formatting consistency, or scholarly presentation. All submissions undergo an initial editorial assessment followed by a rigorous double-anonymous peer-review process evaluating originality, correctness, theoretical significance, clarity, and relevance to the journal’s scope.
