The Journal of Interdisciplinary Mathematics aims at publication of original research papers, comprehensive review articles, book-reviews, dissertation abstracts etc. devoted to mathematical applications in different disciplines, and to the methodological and theoretical role of mathematics as ground of all the scientific disciplines.

Manuscripts may be submitted to any Associate Editor or directly to: The Chief Editor - JIM, Taru Publications, G-159, Pushkar Enclave, Pashchim Vihar, New Delhi 110 063, India. E-mail: bkdass@tarupublications.com

Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Moreover submission to the journal will be deemed to imply that the manuscript have not been and will not be submitted elsewhere if accepted. Publication of paper in the journal automatically transfers the copyrights from the authors to the publishers.

The language of the manuscript should be English only. Authors should submit three copies of a manuscript, typed on one side only, double spaced throughout. A research article should comprise of the title, authors, affiliation of authors (with emails and phone numbers), a sufficiently informative abstract of about 100 words, Keywords and Introduction of the paper. ‘End of proof’ should be indicated by a halmos ¤. References at the end of the manuscript should be arranged alphabetically; citation of reference in the text should be indicated by bracketed numbers, i.e., [1].

Editorial decisions on acceptance or otherwise will be taken normally within four to six months of receipt of a paper.

The corresponding author will receive galley proofs, which should be corrected and returned within 48 hours of receipt.

Authors must retain a copy of every contribution, as these will not be sent alongwith the proofs to be corrected by the authors.

Responsibility of the contents rests upon the authors and not upon the publisher.

The authors or their institutions will be requested to honour a voluntary page charge to help defray the cost of publication. These charges are not obligatory nor is their payment a prerequisite for publication. Detailed information will accompany the acceptance letter or the galley proofs. The author will receive 100 free reprints without cover if the charge is honoured.

Dissertation abstracts and books for reviews should be submitted in duplicate to the Chief Editor.
