Information For Authors

General information

Revista de la Unión Matemática Argentina publishes original research articles in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in this journal, a paper must be new, correct and nontrivial. Further, it must be of interest to mathematicians. Manuscripts submitted for publication should not be already published nor submitted simultaneously for publication in another journal.

All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed under a single-blind review process. Contributions are initially assessed by the editors for suitability for the journal; those deemed suitable are then sent to at least one independent expert reviewer to assess their scientific quality. The editor-in-chief and the managing editors are responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of all articles.

Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgment of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.

Submitted articles are screened for plagiarism using web searches and the expertise of our editors and reviewers. The journal may retract the paper after publication if clear evidence is found that the findings are unreliable as a result of misconduct or honest error.

No charges are applied at any stage of the publication process, and there are no fees for readers either.

Initial submission

Manuscripts should be written in English and initially submitted as a PDF file.

We strongly encourage using LaTeX, though submissions in other formats are accepted. In any case, once the paper is accepted for publication, a final version in LaTeX will be required (see below).

Preparation of accepted manuscripts

Upon acceptance, authors are required to submit their final manuscripts using LaTeX with the amsart document class, which is present in any standard LaTeX installation. To produce your final version, paste the following fragment at the top of the main .tex file:

  \documentclass[10pt,reqno]{amsart}
  \usepackage{geometry}
  \geometry{paperwidth=176mm, paperheight=250mm, textheight=189mm,
            tmargin=35mm, lmargin=30mm, rmargin=20mm, headsep=8mm,
            headheight=11.0pt, footskip=30pt, twoside=true}
  \usepackage{hyperref}

Remove any other LaTeX commands that may alter the main font size or the page layout (page size, margins, line spacing, etc.). Now generate the new PDF file and examine it. Note that after applying the geometry parameters above, some elements of your article (equations, tables, figures, etc.) may exceed the dimensions of the page. Modify these elements as needed and recompile.

Authors should follow as closely as possible the conventions for writing documents with the amsart class, such as:

  • Top matter: Use the command \title. Do not add formatting, such as centering or boldface, to the title. For each author use a separate set of the commands \author, \address, \email. Do not use footnotes for affiliations. Use \thanks for statements of financial support. Use \subjclass[2020]{...} for subject codes.
  • Number theorems, propositions, lemmas, definitions, etc. using a common counter. For example: 
      \theoremstyle{plain}
  \newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
  \newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}

  \theoremstyle{definition}
  \newtheorem{def}[thm]{Definition}
  \newtheorem{rem}[thm]{Remark}
  • Wrap proofs using the proof environment (i.e., \begin{proof} ... \end{proof}).
  • Control the alignment of equations using the environments provided by the amsmath package (e.g., equation, split, align, multline, gather, etc.). Avoid the obsolete environment eqnarray.
  • Use \label and \ref commands to create automatic cross-references to sections, theorems, figures, tables, etc. Cite equations using \eqref.

Please provide at least one primary subject code for your article, taken from the 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification. You may optionally provide more than one primary code and also secondary codes. Include them using the \subjclass command in the top matter. Two examples:

  • \subjclass[2020]{Primary 68Q25}
  • \subjclass[2020]{Primary 68Q25, 68R10; Secondary 68U05, 68-03, 11Gxx}

Bibliographic references should be arranged in alphabetical order by first author's surname. It is important to check the correctness of all the references; we strongly recommend the use of the following tools:

Please send both the source .tex file and the resulting PDF file, as well as any other required files, such as images or bibliographies. If you use BibTeX, include the generated bbl file.
