The AMS encourages the use of AMS-TeX or AMS-LaTeX, together with a series-specific style file, for the preparation of papers being published in author-prepared books. Proper use of the appropriate style file to prepare a volume results in a uniform-looking book that can be produced quickly and sold at a reasonable price. Style files, together with detailed instructions, are provided free of charge. For authors with e-mail and FTP access, the style files can be obtained from the Society's public domain archive on the Internet node e-MATH.ams.org (or 130.44.1.100). Instructions for FTPing the files from e-MATH can be found in this author information packet. Authors who cannot obtain style files from e-MATH may obtain them via email or on diskette from the Fields Institute. Non-TeX preparation. A sample manuscript on model paper is provided for those who do not use AMS-TeX or AMS-LaTeX. A paper prepared on a word processor need not be printed on model paper, but the instructions that appear on the model paper should be followed in order to maintain some degree of uniformity within a volume. It is particularly important that the type block measure 30 by 50 picas (5 x 8 1/4 inches). Note that the first page, including title, should measure only 36 1/2 picas (6 inches) in length. Running heads should be included in the measurement of the type block and should be centered at the top of each page in small capital letters. Please refer to Section 3, Style, on the enclosed model paper for more details about running heads. Preliminary papers, as well as abstracts and summaries, are *not* accepted for publication in Fields Institute volumes. Title. Choose a title that helps the reader place your paper in the body of mathematics. It must clearly identify both the general field of the paper and the particular branch of it under consideration. A good title contains several well-known key words, eg., Algebraic solutions of linear partial differential equations. A title of more than ten or twelve words is likely to be miscopied, misquoted, or distorted. Avoid jargonistic words such as "concerning", "a remark about", "some contributions to the theory of". Also avoid proper names unless mathematical usage associates them with the work. Note that titles may be used in information retrieval; therefore, every word in them in important. Footnotes on the First Page. All of the following should be unmarked, unnumbered footnotes on the first page of an article. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Included as the first footnote on the first page of an article should be the 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification numbers representing the primary and secondary subjects of the paper. A list of these numbers may be found in the annual index of Mathematical Reviews, published with the December issue starting in 1990, as well as from the electronic service e-MATH (telnet e-MATH.ams.org or 130.44.1.100; login and password are e-MATH. Grants. Information on grants or contracts under which research was performed, including grant number, should appear as the second footnote on the first page. Figures. Figures to be incorporated into the paper can be submitted in one of two ways; either as high-quality art drawn on paper (camera-ready) or electronically as PostScript files. Camera-ready figures should be drawn on nonabsorbent paper in black ink with clean, unbroken lines. Do not use lead pencil, ballpoint pen, or felt-tip pen. Labels should match those used in the text. PostScript files containing figures are also acceptable. The files should be in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format and should be transmitted as separate files rather than as embedded PostScript code within the .tex (source) file for the paper. The filenames for the figures should have the extension .eps rather than .ps (example: smith_fig1.eps rather than smith_fig1.ps). It is also important to leave the correct amount of space in the TeX file for the placement of figures. Within the TeX \special command that calls the figure, the reference to the external PostScript graphics file must consist only of the file name without explicit paths. For example, a file created in a Unix environment must not be referred to as "/usr/joe/book/figures/joe_fig1.eps"; rather it should be simply "joe_fig1.eps". Also, we recommend the use of one of the following public-domain macro packages for including PostScript graphics into your .tex file: epsf.tex, epsf.sty, boxedepsf.tex, psfig.tex, psfig.sty. If using boxedepsf.tex, be sure to use the \SetRokickiEPSFSpecial macro when creating the DVI file to be sent to the AMS. References. Items in a bibliography are usually ordered alphabetically by name of author, or they are numbered consecutively. The names of journals should be abbreviated. A full list of standard abbreviations can be found in the annual indexes to Mathematical Reviews. In AMS publications the name of the journal is followed in order by the volume number, the year, and the first and last page numbers: 3. J. Doe, Summability of Fourier series, Pacific J. Math, 12 (1960), 323- 257. A reference to a book should give author, title, edition (if not the first), name of series and number (if one of a series), publisher, city, and year: 4. F. Hausdorff, Mengenlehre, 3rd. ed., Goschens Lehrbuch. 7, W. de Gruyter, Berlin, 1935. For more information on how to set up a bibliography, refer to E. Swanson's Mathematics into Type, revised edition, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1986, pages 58-61. Affiliation. Academic or other affiliation should be typed at the end of the paper, after the bibliography or references. Current address, if different from the affiliation, should follow the affiliation on a new line with a blank line in between. An electronic mail address should be included if available. Proofreading. For author-prepared volumes proofreading is the responsibility of the author. Manuscripts should be proofread by the author before they are submitted to the Fields Institute. Permissions. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to use another person's work, including pictures, figures, and other art, whether or not it has been previously published. If the work has been published previously, the publisher is usually empowered to grant permission, but this is not always the case; the author or an heir sometimes retains such rights. Permission is not necessary, of course, for use of work in the public domain (such as U. S. government publications or works on which the copyright has expired), but credit should be given, in any case, to the originator of the work. Authors are advised to begin writing for permissions as soon as a manuscript has been accepted for publication by an editor or editorial committee. A copy of the letter(s) granting permission must be sent to the Fields Institute with the original submission. Submission. When the paper is completed and proofread, send hard copy, artwork, and the .tex file to the Fields Institute. Copyright Transfer Agreement. Authors retain the right to use all or part of their own work in future publications of their own. They are, however, asked to sign other right over to the AMS.
