Instructions for Authors

 

 

Policy:  

AFA publishes only “short” papers (with less than or equal to 14 pages in the style of journal). “Long” papers should be submitted to BJMA.

 

Preparation
Manuscripts should be typeset in English with double spacing by using AMS-LaTex. The authors should use the AFA style file that has been developed for LaTeX2e standard and can be found at TMRG_style_file_Latex.tex (see also TMRG_style_file_Latex.pdf )

·        Citations: The total number of self-citations should be at most 0.25 of the total number of all references. The total number of all references should be at most 1.5 times the number of pages of the paper, unless the author really uses them out of introduction, literature review and preliminaries. Exceptions will be allowed by the editor-in-chief only in the case of acceptance.
