For Authors | College Mathematics

Defining Originality

We prioritize content over rigid format. Before you write, ensure your work offers a meaningful contribution. We define "Originality" in four ways:

The New Result: Proving interesting new theorems or establishing fresh mathematical truths with substantial content.
The New Angle: Restructuring a famous result to make it more intuitive or telling the "story" differently.
The Improved Proof: Substantially simplifying a proof or providing a derivation that aids learning.
The Cohesion: Discovering interesting correlations between known components or connecting disparate fields.

Emerging Scholars: If you are a high school or college student, we specifically encourage you to submit work that prioritizes clarity and potential.

Writing Guidelines

A well-prepared manuscript speeds up peer review. Please follow these core guidelines:

Structure

Organize with clear section headings. Ensure your abstract tells a story, not just a summary.

Audience

Assume readers have a strong background but may not be experts in your specific subfield.

Ethics & Originality

Submit original work not under review elsewhere.
Give proper credit to existing results.

AI & Human Orchestration

If your paper involves AI-assisted discovery, you must document the Human Orchestration process.

Include the prompts used to guide the AI.
Explain the logic used to verify the AI's output.
Methodology is as valuable as the result.

Submit via EditFlow

We use EditFlow to manage the peer-review process. Please prepare the following:

1. A single PDF for review (anonymized if required).
2. Cover Letter: Please indicate if you are submitting to the Emerging Scholars Track.
3. Contact info for the corresponding author.

The Peer-Review Process

Your manuscript will be screened for scope. If suitable, it is sent to at least one referee.

Tracking Statuses:

Submitted Under initial screening.
Under Review Referees are evaluating the paper.
Revisions Requested You are invited to revise and resubmit.

Note: For the Emerging Scholars Track, our reviewers focus on providing mentorship and constructive feedback to help you improve your mathematical writing.

After Acceptance

Congratulations! Once accepted, your paper moves to production.

You will receive page proofs to review.
Check formulas, figures, and references carefully.
