Chinese Annals of Mathematics,Series B

Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the following instruc-tions:

1.1A system of responsibility and recommendation by members of the Editorial Board is in practice for treating contributions. Manuscripts for publication in CAM should be sent in triplicate either to a member of the Editorial Board who has similar research interest or directly to the Editorial O ce. Author(s) may also submit the PS or PDF file of the manuscript via e-mail. The research interest, postal and e-mail addresses of each member of the Editorial Board are listed in the first issue of each year. As manuscripts will not be returned, author(s) are advised to retain a copy of them.

1.2Papers contributed to CAM should be original and substantial in content and concise and succinct in language. Each paper should include (1) the title of the paper; (2) the name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) (including e-mail); (3) an abstract of 50–200 words; (4) 3–5 keywords; (5) 2000 MR (Mathematical Reviews) Subject Classification; and (6) an abbreviated title not exceeding 45 characters (including spaces) for the running head.

1.3Manuscript should be typed in double-spaced and single-sided on A4 sheets. Once a paper is accepted, the author(s) will be requested to send the final manuscript in hardcopy (or PDF or PS file) as well as an electronic file (Latex, Amstex, or CCT) in the format required by CAM via e-mail to edcam@fudan.edu.cn or on diskettes to the Editorial O ce.

1.4References should be cited in the text using Arabic numerals within square brackets, and listed at the end of the paper in numerical order.

For journals:

[reference number] surname(s), initial(s), paper title, abbreviated title of the journal, volume number(issue number), year of publication, relevant page numbers.

For books:

[reference number] surname(s), initial(s), Book Title, publishing house, site of publication, year of publication.

For proceedings:

[reference number] surname(s), initial(s), paper title, Title of the Proceedings, editor(s) (ed(s).), publishing house, site of publication, year of publication, relevant pages.

2 All papers will be refereed. If necessary, the author(s) would be asked to revise the manuscript according to the referee’s suggestions. The Editorial Board reserves the right to make reasonable modifications in wording.

3 Papers are accepted with the understanding that the same work has not been published and that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. When a paper has been accepted for publication, the author(s) will be required to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement for the paper. There is no page charge for the journal. 30 reprints will be given free of charge for each paper. Additional reprints may be purchased prior to publication by using the Order Form sent with the proofs.

4 The Editorial O ce is located in the School of Mathematical Sciences, Fudan University.
