Get your Internet Mathematics 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 Internet Mathematics goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Internet Mathematics 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 Internet Mathematics. 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 Internet Mathematics 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 Internet Mathematics 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 Internet Mathematics 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 | Internet Math requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | The guide states that articles should have an abstract but does not specify structure (structured vs. unstructured), word limits, or mandatory headings. The guide only mentions 'your article should have an abstract' without further specification |
| Main text | - The guide does not specify word or page limits for the main text |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Not specified in the official author guidelines |
| References | No specific citation style is mandated. The guide states: 'For example, your article should have... a bibliography. It should give appropriate credit to ideas and results that are derived from other sources. Any results that are not due to the authors should be clearly cited.' Authors may use any consistent format as articles are hosted on arXiv. Sample articles show numbered references with author names, titles in quotes, journal names in italics (similar to Chicago/author-date style) |
| Peer review | - The guide describes the editorial process (Editor-in-Chief assigns to Managing Editor, initial screening by editors within 1-2 weeks if inappropriate, full technical evaluation by referees if potentially suitable, final decision by managing editor in consultation with Editor-in-Chief) but does not explicitly state whether the peer review is single-blind, double-blind, or open |
| Submission | www.internetmathematicsjournal.com/submit |
Read the Internet Mathematics 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 Internet Mathematics in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Internet Math 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 Internet Mathematics journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Internet Mathematics guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
