JNMP publishes original research papers in the
fields of mathematics and physics. JNMP publishes letters (short
notes), original research articles and review articles. Only papers
that fall within the aims and scope of JNMP will be considered for
publication. For a more precise description of the aims and scope,
please click here.
High quality research papers are considered
for publication if they have not been published previously and are not
under consideration elsewhere. Authors are reminded that papers are
published to be read and should compose their works with as wide
audience in mind as is consistent with the maintenance of scientific
quality.
Copyright
JNMP and its publisher Atlantis Press apply the Creative
Commons-policy, and we therefore do not claim any copyright of
your paper. We only require that anyone citing or using the paper
should refer to the original place of publication (JNMP, volume, issue)
as well as to its persistent web ID: the Digital Object Identifier (see: www.doi.org), which is
provided with each article.
Editorial policy
After a first check whether the paper is within the JNMP aims and scope
and of reasonable scientific quality, all papers are reviewed by at
least one external referee and by the Editorial Board. The Editorial
Board review is done via a password-protected internet page (the
Editors' Page) for a period of one month and takes place before the
referee(s) has(have) been consulted. All papers are reviewed on the
Editors' Page and if the Editors reject a paper during this period,
then it is not further reviewed by external referees. The
Editor-in-chief takes the final decision on the acceptance of a
reviewed paper.
Based on their review reports a final
assessment will be made by the editor-in-chief. Three outcomes are
possible:
- Accepted: the paper is accepted for publication, no changes
are needed;
- Revision requested: the authors are requsted to revise
their original submission according to the instructions from the
editor-in-chief and the referee(s). The revised paper will then be
further reviewed by the referee(s) and the editorial board;
- Rejected: the paper is rejected, the author receives a full
report on the reasons why.
Procedure and time line
After submission the corresponding author receives a confirmation of
reception within 1 week. The reviewing of a paper takes in average
about 10 weeks, but this depends strongly on the subject and the
details of the article. Our main policy is not to compromise on
quality, so in some cases the reviewing time can be longer. Once a
paper has been accepted for publication it will be elaborated by
our copy-editor, so that it is suitable for on-line publication at the
JNMP website. Before its publication, the galley proofs of the paper
will be sent to the corresponding author for proofreading.
Publication policy
Papers will be prepared for on-line publication on the JNMP website as
soon as they have been accepted. From then on they will be available
from our website in PDF for free (Open Access) to any interested
reader. At the end of each year all the year’s issues of JNMP will be
published in one printed volume which will be sent to all first authors
of the included papers, to the editors of JNMP and to the paying
subscribers (please see here for subscription details).
