Instructions for Authors
We welcome high-quality original research articles and survey papers in all areas of mathematics, applied mathematics, and computer science. Before submitting a manuscript, authors are encouraged to read these guidelines carefully to ensure a smooth submission and review process.
Manuscript Submission
- Manuscripts must be submitted electronically via email to the editorial office at: rjm-cs@utcb.ro
- Submitted papers must be written in English, prepared using LaTeX, and formatted according to the journal’s template (available here).
- Manuscripts must not exceed 30 pages.
- All submissions must be original, unpublished works. Simultaneous submission to another journal is not permitted. Prior publication in limited distribution conference proceedings does not disqualify a manuscript.
- Authors are required to disclose any previously published or concurrently submitted works that are based on similar methods, data, or results. Such works must be clearly cited, and the submitted manuscript must include a detailed explanation of how it differs from the related publications. Submissions with a similarity index exceeding 25% will not be considered for publication.
- Each author is permitted to submit only one manuscript per calendar year. The Editorial Board will not consider a new submission from the same author until at least twelve months have passed since the final decision on their previous manuscript.
Manuscript Format
Manuscripts must be prepared using LaTeX, in accordance with the official template provided here: RJM_CS_Sample_tex. Authors must submit the generated .pdf file. After acceptance, both the .tex source file and the generated .pdf file must be submitted. For reference, please consult the sample manuscript available here: RJM_CS_Sample_pdf.
Each manuscript should include the following elements:
- Title of the article
- Full names and affiliations of all authors
- Abstract (maximum 100 words). The abstract must clearly present the problem studied and the main results obtained.
- Keywords (maximum 5 relevant terms, separated by commas)
- Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC2020) codes – see http://www.ams.org/msc.
Use predefined environments for theorem-like statements, such as \begin{theorem} … \end{theorem}, and the standard \begin{proof} … \end{proof} environment for proofs.
Make sure that all numbering for theorems, sections, figures, and tables referenced later in the paper is generated using the standard LaTeX commands \label{…} and \ref{…}.
Figures must be high-resolution and accompanied by descriptive captions. Captions should be provided separately from the figures, not embedded within them.
Tables should be included as editable text (not as images) and must also have descriptive captions.
References must be written in the journal’s format (see RJM_CS_Sample_pdf) and alphabetically ordered (with respect to the first author’s name). All references in the bibliography must be cited in the text, and all in-text citations must appear in the reference list.
Ethical Responsibilities
By submitting a manuscript to RJM-CS, authors confirm that:
- The work is original and free from plagiarism.
- All listed authors have contributed significantly to the work, have approved the final version, and consent to submission.
- No part of the paper has been published or submitted to another journal.
- All necessary permissions have been obtained for any previously published material reused in the manuscript.
- They agree to the journal’s Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
- Any conflicts of interest are clearly disclosed.
All manuscripts are screened for plagiarism and ethical compliance. It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their manuscript complies with the highest ethical standards prior to submission.
Proper citation and attribution must be provided for all sources that have influenced the work. Confidential information obtained during peer review or grant evaluation must be respected and not disclosed or reused.
Authors should be prepared to revise the manuscript based on reviewers’ feedback and respond to editorial requests professionally.
Personal attacks in academic discourse are unacceptable. Constructive critique of published work is encouraged but must remain professional.
