Online Submission: Manuscripts should be submitted using the ScholarOne manuscript available at:http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/ams .
Submission
of a manuscript must be the original work of the author(s) and has not
been published elsewhere or under consideration for another publication,
or a substantially similar form in any other language.
Authors
are encouraged to recommend three to five individuals (including their
research fields, e-mail, phone numbers and addresses) who are qualified
to serve as referees for their paper.
Manuscript Preparation
All
manuscripts should be written in English. Letters are generally no more
than three journal pages. Research articles and review articles have no
page limit. The supporting organization and the grant number should be
given in the section 'Acknowledgement(s)' of the manuscript.
Please Use double spacing and minimum 1-inch (3 cm) margins, and 12 pt font size standard fonts in the manuscript.
Title
The title of the paper should be concise but informative.
Author name(s)
A
list of all authors, as well as corresponding addresses, should be
provided on the title page. Authors’ names should be given in a
consistent form on all publications to facilitate indexing. It will be
better if the technical titles, fax number(s), e-mail address(es), and
telephone number(s) are all provided.
Corresponding
author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages
of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that phone
numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the
e-mail address,the complete postal address and the title of a technical post and degree. Such as:Corresponding author. Prof., Ph.D.; Tel: +86 24 83978879;Fax: +86 24 2384760;E-mail address: ams@imr.ac.cn. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
Abstract
The
abstract should be no longer than 300 words. It should be informative,
without descriptive words or citations, and contain the major
conclusions and quantitative results or other significant items in the
paper. Together with the title, the abstract must be adequate as an
index to all the subjects treated in the paper, and will be used as a
base for indexing.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords.
Mathematics
Variables
should appear in italic text. Vectors should appear in bold italic
text. Capital and lower-case letters should be distinguished clearly
where there could be confusion. Fractional exponents should be used to
avoid root signs. Extra symbols should be introduced to avoid
complicated exponents or where it is necessary to repeat a complicated
expression a number of times. The slash (/) should be used wherever
possible for fractions. Mathematical derivations that are easily found
elsewhere in the literature should not be used.
Notation
Notation
must be legible, clear, compact, and consistent with standard usage.
All unusual symbols whose identity may not be obvious, including
subscript or superscript, must be made comprehensible. Physical and
mathematical variables should be in italic, vectors in boldface. Units,
abbreviations and special functions should be upright. Please add notes
to explain any other special symbols.
Units
Follow
internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international
system of units (SI).If other quantities are mentioned, give their
equivalent in SI.
Figures
Format:
High-resolution figures must be uploaded during manuscript submission.
The preferred format for figure submission is TIFF format (*.tif).
1.
Image Size: An image intended for the journal's double column format
(i.e., an image to fit into the space of a single column on the 2-column
layout), should be sized to 6.5 cm. Images submitted for a layout that
spans full columns (i.e., an image that will occupy the full-page width)
should be sized to 13.5 cm for two subgraphs and 15 cm for three
subgraphs, respectively. In the figures, the main lines should be about
0.3 mm in width, and the assistant lines 0.15 mm. Notations in the
figures should be distinct and consistent with the same ones in the
text, and their font size will be about 20-22 pt.
2.
Image Resolution: Line drawings and graphs must have a resolution of at
least 1000 dpi when they are exported. Photographs and micrographs must
have resolution of at least 300 dpi (600 dpi if there is text or line
art in the figure). Please use LZW compression (which does not affect
resolution) when saving figure files. Lower-resolution images will not
