Notes for authors on submitting a paper

Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Section A considers for publication papers in all areas of mathematics. Please note that this journal does not consider simultaneous submissions from the same author. If an author already has a paper under consideration then any further papers from that author (individually or as a co-author) will be returned unrefereed until the Editors have reached a decision regarding the first paper.

• Authors will be asked to state the primary AMS 2010 Classification Number and between three and six keywords. Secondary classifications are optional. 
• Authors should nominate the most appropriate Editor for their paper.  
• It is assumed that the author uploading the paper will be responsible for correspondence. A paper by more than one author should be approved in its entirety by the joint authors. An acknowledgement email will be sent to all authors when the paper is added to the journal database. This will cite a reference number which will be used in all future correspondence regarding the paper. 
• Proceedings A does not have a page limit for papers.  Most articles we handle are less than 40 pages in length, however longer articles of exceptional quality will be considered by the journal.  
• Each paper must be accompanied by an abstract, in general not exceeding 200 words, which will be printed. 
• References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, numbered sequentially. References within the text should be indicated by numbers in square brackets. 
• Authors are encouraged to use TeX typesetting software to prepare their papers. Please refer to the resources below for our class file and macro package. 
• Spelling should follow the Oxford Dictionary spelling.
• If you have any potential competing interests relating to your manuscript, please include a declaration statement in your main manuscript file disclosing these. Competing interests are situations that could be perceived to exert an undue influence on the content or publication of an author’s work. They may include, but are not limited to, financial, professional, contractual or personal relationships or situations
