Getting past the desk at Journal of the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu is usually less about the research and more about matching the journal’s exact submission rules. This template is built around JIMJ’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the instructions for contributors) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JIMJ author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JIMJ’s specifications for research across pure mathematics — algebra, geometry, and analysis. Journal of the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu is published by Cambridge University Press. 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 instructions for contributors) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise abstract stating the main results. JIMJ also expects LaTeX submissions use the CUP/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 instructions for contributors). 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 instructions for contributors) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through ScholarOne Manuscripts — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JIMJ’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the instructions for contributors) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JIMJ journal home page. JIMJ offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through ScholarOne Manuscripts, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JIMJ 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 | ScholarOne Manuscripts |
Read the JIMJ 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 instructions for contributors) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in. Prepare LaTeX submissions use the CUP/AMS document class early rather than leaving it to the end.
Skim two or three recent JIMJ 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 JIMJ author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, a numbered style with alphabetical reference list (confirm in the instructions for contributors) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne Manuscripts.
