Instructions to Contributors

To expedite the refereeing process, it is strongly recommended that authors send a PDF file of the paper electronically. Manuscripts should be in English and submitted to either the Managing Editor of inverse problems (Matti Lassas) or of imaging (Jianhong Shen). A cover letter ( in pdf) is also required.
Submission of a manuscript is a statement that the work has not been previously published, has not been copyrighted, is not being submitted for publication elsewhere, and that its submission has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. The authors agree that the copyright in the article shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher upon acceptance of the article. The manuscript will not be returned.

Manuscripts should be typed on one side of 8.5 X 11 in (21.5 X 28 cm) white paper, double-spaced, with wide margins. Number each page. Page 1 should contain the title, authors names and complete affiliations. Place any footnotes to the title at the bottom of Page 1. Each paper requires an abstract not exceeding 200 words summarizing the techniques, methods and main conclusions. AMS subject classifications must accompany all articles, placed at the bottom of Page 1 before any other footnotes. Electronic mail addresses, if available, can be placed at the very end of the paper. Each paper requires a separate page containing a proposed running head (abbreviated form of the title) of no more than 40 characters, and the name and mailing address of the author to whom proofs should be sent. Equations should be centered with the number placed in parentheses at the right margin. Figures must be drafted in high resolution and high contrast on separate pieces of white paper, in a form suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction

After a paper is accepted, author(s) may prepare their files using IPI templates and provide high resolution figures (if any) to ensure speedy quality production. The IPI templates (only for accepted papers) consist of the sample latex file and the IPI class file, both of which can be easily down loaded at the above links. Please also see the resulting sample pdf file

The authors of all accepted papers should retrieve a Consent to Publish and Copyright Agreement Form, fill it out, sign and email the pdf of a scanned copy to editorial@aimsciences.org or fax the signed form to (417)-889-0336 or send the hard copy to American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, P.O. Box 2604, Springfield, MO 65801-2604, USA.

Manuscripts typeset using AmSTeX (amsppt) or AmS-LaTeX (amsart) can move much more quickly through the production process, hence these two TeX forms are strongly recommended to authors for preparing their manuscripts.
