INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

The KOBE JOURNAL of MATHEMATICS is an academic journal in pure and applied mathematics. All papers are refereed. Papers are invited on subjects of pure and applied mathematics. Manuscrips, intended for publication in KOBE JOURNAL of MATHEMATICS should be sent to the following e-mail address and one of the editors listed below whose field is nearest to that of manuscript can be indicated.

Each submitted manuscript (pdf file) should be sent to the following Managing Editor's e-mail address. All editorial correspondences should be addressed to:

KOBE JOURNAL of MATHEMATICS (Managing Editor),
kjm[at]math.kobe-u.ac.jp
(replace [at] to @)

(In order to avoid treating simultaneous submissions)
When making a submission, we request that you clearly state the name of this journal in the main body of your email to confirm you are indeed making a submission to this journal, and only this journal. If your email does not contains the journal's name, we cannot recognize it as a submission to this journal, and the submission will be disregarded, and we will not reply. For instance, the following simple template would suffice. Japanese speakers may use Japanese.

If you are making a submission by just referring to a list of journals (UGC-CARE list, etc),
then please make sure of the following:
Generally speaking, it is fine to submit your paper by referring to some list only,
but please take a close look at previous papers in our journal
to see whether your submission fits our scope.

We do not charge for publication. We do not require a specific format for the files, although some form of TeX is generally preferred. Once the paper is accepted, we require the authors to change the style using our LaTeX style file under the authors' responsibility. This requirement is the same for the non-TeX style submissions (Word etc). Manuscripts must be written in English. If you wish to borrow images from published papers or books etc, you must obtain permissions from the copyright holders. If your manuscript is accepted, you may be asked to submit the permissions after acceptance. The color figures will be published in gray scale. If your manuscript has color figures, it is better to convert gray scale by yourself after acceptance.

All other communication to this journal should be addressed to the above Managing Editor's address.
