Information for Authors

Contributed papers should be written in good English. Authors should provide a short running head, and a 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification of the article. Titles should avoid the use of mathematical symbols. An abstract is recommended. If there is no abstract, the main results of the paper should be outlined in the first section.

Citations should be given explicitly with page, or theorem, numbers listed. References may be numbered, or abbreviations based on the authors' names can be used. A copy of any unpublished work that is referenced in a paper should be provided for use by the referees.

Submissions may be sent to any member of the editorial board. All correspondence and the paper must  include an e-mail address. Two copies of a manuscript are required. They are accepted with the understanding that the article is the original work of the authors and that the same, or a substantially similar paper has not been published, nor is under consideration for publication, in another journal.
Most editors prefer to receive submissions electronically, as a PDF or ps file. However, authors who wish to submit a manuscript electronically, should ask the corresponding editor for permission to do so.
For accepted papers, HJM requires for further processing a properly prepared LaTeX 2ε file. The LaTeX file must include all graphics as electronic  files, preferably in EPS or PS  format. But TIFF files may be acceptable because our TeX system can handle such files without conversion.
Please, find more details about our LaTeX requirements at Tips for Preparing the Final Version of Accepted Papers. HJM needs also an abstract that meets our standards for WEB posting. For details, please go to Tips for the WEB Abstract of Accepted papers .

Copyright for published papers will belong to the Houston Journal of Mathematics

Authors will receive the final .PDF file,  and if they prefer, offprints for a nominal charge.     The Journal requests page charges for published articles but this will be waived when the authors do not have institutional support.
