Format your manuscript to the Journal of the European Mathematical Society requirements — abstract, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) references, and required declarations — and submit through the journal's online submission system without a formatting rejection.

Most manuscripts sent to Journal of the European Mathematical Society don’t stumble on the science — they stumble on formatting caught at the first editorial check. This template is built around JEMS’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JEMS author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JEMS’s specifications for research across pure and applied mathematics. Journal of the European Mathematical Society is published by EMS Press on behalf of the European Mathematical Society. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in an introduction, preliminaries, the main results with proofs, and remarks order, and a reference list in a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise abstract stating the main results. JEMS also expects LaTeX submissions use the EMS/AMS document class and Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) codes. The body follows an introduction, preliminaries, the main results with proofs, and remarks, and the reference list uses a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide). Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest and funding.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through the journal's online submission system — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JEMS’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JEMS journal home page. JEMS offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through the journal's online submission system, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JEMS requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise abstract stating the main results |
| Main text | an introduction, preliminaries, the main results with proofs, and remarks |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest and funding |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | the journal's online submission system |
Read the JEMS author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in. Prepare LaTeX submissions use the EMS/AMS document class early rather than leaving it to the end.
Skim two or three recent JEMS papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JEMS author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the guide) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's online submission system.
