Algebraic and Geometric Topology
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submitting a paper to Algebraic and Geometric Topology
Papers must be submitted using the submission page. You will need to choose a suitable editor from the list of editors' interests and to supply MSC codes.
The normal language used by the journal is English. Articles written in other languages are acceptable, provided your chosen editor is comfortable with the language and you supply an additional English version of the abstract.
AGT maintains very strict standards, leading the editors to be highly selective. Longer articles will held to a proportionally higher standard.
Preparing your article for Algebraic and Geometric Topology
At the time of submission you need only supply a PDF file. Once accepted for publication, the paper must be supplied in LaTeX, preferably using the journal's class file. For more information on preparing articles in LaTeX for publication in AGT, consult the LaTeX instructions.
arXiv papers
If your paper has previously been deposited on the arXiv, we will need its arXiv number at acceptance time. This allows us to deposit the DOI of the published version on the paper's arXiv page.
References
Bibliographical references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. All references in the bibliography should be cited at least once in the text. Use of BibTeX is preferred but not required. Any bibliographical citation style may be used, but will be converted to the house style (see a current issue for examples).
Figures
Figures, whether prepared electronically or hand-drawn, must be of publication quality. Fuzzy or sloppily drawn figures will not be accepted. For labeling figure elements consider the pinlabel LaTeX package, but other methods are fine if the result is editable. If you're not sure whether your figures are acceptable, check with production by sending an email to: graphics@msp.org
Proofs
Page proofs will be made available to authors (or to the designated corresponding author) at a Web site in PDF format. Failure to acknowledge the receipt of proofs or to return corrections within the requested deadline may cause publication to be postponed.
Peer Review
This journal operates a single-anonymized review process (the names of the reviewers are hidden from the author). All contributions will be initially assessed by an editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of one independent expert reviewer to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The editors are responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The editors’ decisions are final. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves.
