Submitting to EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through the journal's submission system.
| Element | EMS Surveys Mathematical Sci requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured abstract required at submission. The abstract should provide a brief but comprehensive and self-contained description of the work and its results. Avoid using direct references to the bibliography like '[5]' since the abstract may appear independently; use 'Author (Year)' format instead. Inline formulas can be used, but displayed formulas should be avoided. No word limit specified |
| Main text | No overall word or page limit specified. Articles with 50 or more pages may include a table of contents |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification and key words describing the subject matter of the article are required. Specific count or range not stated |
| References | Alphabetically ordered using numerical labels. Follow EMS Press style as shown in their .tex template. Abbreviate journal titles as in zbMath Open or Mathematical Reviews. A .bst file is provided for BibTeX users. Citation style follows EMS Press custom format (numerical labels, alphabetical order) |
| Peer review | Single-blind peer review process conducted by external reviewers selected by the editorial board |
| Submission | ef.msp.org/submit/ems_emss |
Read the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences in under a page.
Skim two or three recent EMS Surveys Mathematical Sci papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
