Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in Adobe PDF file format.
  • This submission is NOT a revision of an earlier submission. Revisions of earlier submissions must be uploaded via the "Author Upload" or "Upload Author Version" boxes on the "Review" or "Editing" pages for the earlier submission.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Formatting Instructions, which is found in Resources.
  • When submitting, in the Additional Refinements of the Submission Metadata under Subjects, please list 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification codes.

Author Guidelines

To submit articles to the ANZIAM Journal, authors must first be registered with our journal management system as both readers and authors. The form to register with the ANZIAM Journal is at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/anziam . Authors should also ensure they have and supply an ORCID.
Typesetting
The journal is typeset from LaTeX. If accepted and when requested authors must send the final LaTeX source. The editor reserves the right to return to authors poorly presented material for appropriate revision, or even to reject a paper on TeXnical grounds.
Style
The manuscript must be typeset in the standard LaTeX article [12pt,a4paper] style and page size, or use the template in Formatting Instructions in Resources. Standard sectioning, numbering, spacing and equation commands must be used throughout. Avoid defining macro commands to replace or modify standard LaTeX or its packages. We abhor any use of forced spacing commands in the text. Authors must use the label and ref commands to reference equations, sections, figures, etc. Sound LaTeX advice is given online here
Title
The title should be a short and clear statement on what is achieved by the article. If the title is long, supply also a shortened version of the title not exceeding 40 characters for a running header.
Abstract
An abstract not exceeding about 300 words must be included in the manuscript. Many browsers will only see the title and the abstract so these must be crafted with care. The abstract must be composed of a few succinct and plain sentences addressing:
  • what you have done;
  • why it is important;
  • how others will use your results.
The web site uses MathJax so use \ ( ...\ ) and \ [ ...\ ] for mathematics in the abstract, not dollars.
Video Abstract
For the online journal, we are happy to attach a short and small (<10Mbyte) video of you highlighting your article. Address the same points as the abstract. Submit the video as a Supplementary file.
Introduction
Use the Introduction to summarise your research in more detail and to place it in the context of international work. Use as little technical language as possible. Elaborate on:
  • what exactly is your research and its results?
  • why was it done?
  • what is needed to understand it?
  • how is it presented?
References
Typeset using the bibitem and cite commands. As in the plain LaTeX bibliography style (although the electronic part encourages Harvard style), references are normally cited using the Vancouver style: that is, in the text by giving the appropriate number in square brackets. The citation (the number in the brackets) must not form part of the meaning of the sentence: that is, avoid incongruities such as "in [2]", "by [3]" or "see [5]".

The bibliography normally should be in alphabetical order by name of the first author, preceded by a reference number in square brackets. Also, to help connect the web of science and ensure maximum visibility for your work, for each article in your references please provide where possible:

  • the DOI of the article (preferred);
  • a URL to the title/abstract page of the article (as provided by many publishers);
  • the Maths Review MR number;
  • the Zentralblatt reference number.
Index
An index to terms occurring in the paper may be included, but only if constructed via the LaTeX index command.
Figures
Figures must be typeset within a figure environment using either the LaTeX picture environment, pdf, jpeg or postscript. Note that each page of the electronic journal is A5 size, so each figure must not be complicated. Please use colour appropriately in your figures. Generate the figures at about the size they are to be reproduced. Do not override default font size. For example, in Matlab:
  • simplest is to invoke subplot('position',[.2 .2 .55 .55])
  • or for graphics to appear side by side then subplot(3,3,1)
  • or more logical instead is to set(gcf,'paperposition',[1 1 6 4]) if you use inches
  • or if you use centimetres, use set(gcf,'paperposition',[2 2 14 10]])
You may like to include interactive 3D plots; see possible Formatting Instructions in Resources. Put the caption below the figure.
Tables
Put the caption above the table. Use the table environment. Avoid using vertical lines. Usually use only three horizontal lines: one either side of the headings for each column; and one at the bottom of the table. Higham [Handbook of writing for the mathematical sciences, 2nd edition, p.91] says "Only essential information should be included in a table. Omit data whose presence cannot be justified and state only as many digits as are needed (this number is often surprisingly small)." For example, when reporting errors, report at most two significant digits (any more that two digits in errors will be brutally truncated by our layout editor).
Units
Use the SI system of units. Typeset abbreviated units in roman font and separated from the number by a thin space; for example, $g=9.8\,\text{m/s}^2$. Separate fully named units from the number by a non-breaking space; for example, one year is $12$~months.
Hypertext
Appropriate hypertext links and references may be included using the standard hyperref package.
Special effects
Colour images, movies, sounds and executable demonstrations may be published with the manuscript at the discretion of the editors.
Write well
I suggest you learn from these authors: Similar to CUP, we "recommend that authors have their manuscripts checked by an English language native speaker before submission; this will ensure that submissions are judged at peer review exclusively on academic merit. [CUP list here] a number of third-party services specialising in language editing and/or translation, and suggest that authors contact them as appropriate".

This section is only for articles resulting from the MISG Workshops including the Mathematics in Industry New Zealand (MINZ). The workshop organisers will inform the problem moderators of the details.

Copyright Notice

The policy of the ANZIAM Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society is that authors (or in some cases their employers) retain copyright and grant The Australian Mathematical Publishing Association a licence to publish their work. If their article is accepted for publication, then the authors agree to complete and return an author licence to publish form. The ANZIAM Journal is unable to publish the article without this agreement. Please see the information below for more detail about the types of agreements.

The author(s) must be the sole owner of the material, or a co-owner acting in accord with all other owners, and have full power to make this agreement. The authors assert their moral rights as authors.

License to Publish (LTP)

These notes explain the terms under which papers are published in the ANZIAM Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society. The ANZIAM Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society is owned by the Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Incorporated and published by Cambridge University Press. In these notes, the Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Incorporated, Cambridge University Press, and the ANZIAM Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society are abbreviated as AMPAI, CUP, and the Journal. Cambridge Core (http://www.cambridge.org/core) is the books and journals platform for Cambridge University Press.

Papers can be published with Green Open Access or Gold Open Access. If the research was funded by a Coalition S funder and subject to Plan S, then we recommend the Gold Open Access option which is compliant with Plan S. If there is no connection to Plan S, then these issues do not arise and either Green or Gold Open Access can be chosen.

The standard arrangement is Green Open Access in accordance with the policy of Cambridge University Press. Authors must assign an exclusive licence to publish to AMPAI which is the publishing arm of the Australian Mathematical Society. In brief, green open access has no publication charges and allows some sharing of the paper as follows:

  • a preprint or the submitted manuscript may be made available by the author at any time;
  • the accepted manuscript may be made available on the author’s web page on acceptance and on a non-commercial repository six months after publication);
  • only the abstract of the final published version of the paper may be made available together with a link to the paper on Cambridge Core (http://www.cambridge.org/core) in other circumstances.

Preprints and submitted manuscripts may be made accessible under any license terms the author chooses. Accepted manuscripts can be made accessible under a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND license or equivalent. The final published version of the paper will be made accessible to the public through Cambridge Core five years after publication. In addition to the reuse permitted by the Green Open Access policy, the Author may reuse the paper in accordance with the CUP’s content reuse policy at https://www.cambridge.org/about-us/rights-permissions/faqs/ . For any other reuse of the paper which is not covered under this LTP, the author should contact the Editor to request permission.

Please note that the Journal’s Green Open Access policy does not allow the use of the Green Open Access self-archiving route to Plan S compliance. If the research is subject to Plan S, then please consider Gold Open Access (see below), or contact the Editor (via editor@journal.austms.org.au or openresearch@cambridge.org) to discuss potential solutions.

Alternatively, there is an arrangement for Gold Open Access. Gold Open Access may be arranged by payment of an initial one-off fee of $USD2000 or under a Read and Publish Agreement between the author’s institution and CUP (which covers the fee or provides for a discount). Immediate open access will be provided through Cambridge Core under the terms of a creative commons license chosen by the author. Creative Commons Licences expressly do not permit any commercial reuse without permission from the Publisher. Payment of the article processing fee is arranged through CUP prior to publication. The fee of $USD2000 applies for 2021 and may be indexed. Authors must assign a nonexclusive licence to publish to AMPAI under this arrangement.

Explanatory notes

  1. The Journal’s policy is to request a licence to publish, allowing for reproduction, distribution and sale of the paper or any part of it in all forms and media and in all languages throughout the world, print and electronic, and to grant a licence to exploit all other rights in the nature of copyright, including translation and subsidiary rights, rental, lending and database rights and all other publishing and print on demand rights.
  2. The licence will commence on the date on which the licence to publish is signed by the author(s) and shall endure for the legal term of copyright in the paper.
  3. The author retains the copyright in the paper. The author asserts the moral right always to be identified as the author of the paper in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968.
  4. CUP (on behalf of AMPAI) will use its best endeavours to ensure that any direct request received to reproduce a contribution, or a substantial part of it, in another publication (which may be an electronic publication) is approved by the author(s) before permission is given. Multiple authors should nominate one author only to respond to such requests.
  5. CUP cooperates in various licensing schemes that allow material to be photocopied within agreed restraints (for example, the CCC in the USA and the CLA in the UK). Any proceeds received from such licenses, together with any proceeds from sales of subsidiary rights in the Journal, directly support its continuing publication.
  6. It is understood that in some cases copyright will be held by the author’s employer. If so, then CUP (on behalf of AMPAI) requires exclusive permission to deal with requests from third parties, on the understanding that any requests received from third parties will be handled in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 above (approval will be sought for the proposed use from the author, not the employer).
  7. If a contribution includes textual or illustrative material not in the author’s copyright and not covered by fair use/fair dealing, then the author(s) must obtain permission from the relevant copyright owner (usually the publisher or via the publisher) for the nonexclusive right to reproduce the material worldwide in all forms and media, including electronic publication. The relevant permission correspondence must be attached to the licence to publish form. If in doubt about whether or not permission is required, then please consult The Permissions Controller, Cambridge University Press, The Edinburgh Building, Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK; fax: +44 (0)1223 315 052; email: lnicol@cambridge.org
  8. The information provided on the licence to publish form will be held in perpetuity by AMPAI for record purposes. The name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) of the contribution may be reproduced in the Journal and provided to print and online indexing and abstracting services and bibliographic databases.
