Information for Authors:

Authors are required to submit manuscripts that are polished and correctly formatted. The submission of a manuscript to the Journal of Scientific and Mathematical Research implies that it has not been copyrighted or published, that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere, that it is the original work of the authors, and that all authors listed on the manuscript contributed materially to the work. Gift authorship, courtesy authorship, and honorary authorship are strictly prohibited, as is plagiarism.

Math:

Vectors and tensors should be marked clearly in the manuscript. Equation numbers should appear in parentheses and be numbered consecutively. All equation numbers must appear on the right side of the equation and should be referred to within the text.

Units:

Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI), always written in Roman and separated from the numerical value by a space.

References:

All publications should be cited in the manuscript with name and date, as for example (Cayley 1874), and listed alphabetically in a References section following the body. The samples below illustrate the format:

Cayley, A., "A Memoir on the Transformation of Elliptic Functions," Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London 164, pp. 397-456 (1874).

Dirac, P. A. M., "The Quantum Theory of the Electron. Part II," Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A 118, pp. 351-361 (1928).
