Get your Geometry and Topology paper right the first time: a ready-made structure with the right abstract and citations, so editors see your science, not formatting slips.

Submitting to Geometry and Topology goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Geometry and Topology 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 Geometry and Topology. 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 Geometry and Topology 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 Geometry and Topology 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 Geometry and Topology 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 | Geometry Topology requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | A brief abstract of about 150 words or fewer must be included. It should be self-contained and not make any reference to the bibliography. If the article is not in English, two versions of the abstract must be included, one in the language of the article and one in English |
| Main text | Organize sections for the chosen article type; no single overall word limit is stated in the accessible guide |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Keywords and at least one Mathematics Subject Classification code for the article are required. No specific count or range is stated |
| References | Bibliographical references should be complete, including article titles and page ranges. All references in the bibliography should be cited in the text. The use of BibTeX is preferred but not required. Tags will be converted to the journal format |
| Peer review | Single-anonymized (single-blind): the names of the reviewers are hidden from the author |
| Submission | ef.msp.org/submit/gt |
Read the Geometry and Topology 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 Geometry and Topology in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Geometry Topology 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 Geometry and Topology journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Geometry and Topology guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
