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:

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).

Submitting a paper

All papers have to be submitted by e-mail to the editor-in-chief (see address below). Please specify in your email whether you are submitting a letter (short note), an article or a review article.

JNMP requires all papers to be submitted as Latex-files as this will give the best formatting results. Yet, if necessary, Word files can be accepted too, but note that submitting a paper as a Word-file may largely delay the publication time.

For the submission of a paper in Latex, the author is required to apply the JNMP style guide and to use the JNMP-style file. Both have been archived in a ZIP-file which can be downloaded here.

An Example Article which may serve as a template can be downloaded, either in Tex, Postscript or PDF.

Authors can recommend appropriate persons as referees for their papers, but this in no way binds the editors to follow their suggestions.

Authors may request to remain anonymous to the referee.

The title page of the paper should include an abstract as well as the full postal and E-mail addresses of the authors.

All figures must be suitable for reproduction without being retouched or redrawn.

Authors will have the opportunity to proofread their paper before publication.

Once the letter/article/review article has been prepared using the JNMP guidelines and style file, please submit a LaTeX file as well as a PDF version of the paper by email to the following address:
