Author Guidelines

Selecciones Matemáticas(ISSN-e:   2411 - 1783 ) journal serves as a means of dissemination in a wide range of mathematical issues, so the areas that are prioritized are related to mathematics, applied mathematics, all sciences that use mathematics and teaching mathematics.

Publishes Original Research articles, Review Articles, Communications and Teaching Mathematics, preferably in the priority areas of the journal, written in English, Spanish or Portuguese, as long as its quality is certified through peer review. It will also be possible to publish Current Comments that deal with topics of interest or comment on published research papers.

The content of the contributions is entirely the responsibility of the authors, and in no way the journal or the entities for which the authors work. It is understood that the material sent to Selecciones Matemáticas has not been published nor sent to other systems of diffusion of any type.

Research Articles:
These are original research papers culminated, not previously published and directed to a specialized audience. Its extension will have a maximum of 20 pages, including the bibliography, in 12-point characters in Times New Roman style and in simple space. According to the LaTeX macro that is available in (download TEMPLATE).

Communications:
They are short articles of scientific relevance, presented as preliminary results of an investigation or a sufficiently documented casualty. They will have a maximum length of 10 pages, including bibliography, in 12-point characters in Times New Roman style and in simple space.

Review articles:
The review article is a bibliographical study that compiles, analyzes, synthesizes and discusses published information on a topic, which may include a critical examination of the state of knowledge reported in the literature. Manuscripts must have an extension of no more than 25 pages, including bibliography, in 12-point Times New Roman style and single spaced characters.

Mathematics' Teaching and comments: Following the instructions of research article.

Special Issue of Conference papers: As a result of a conference, it is necessary to have an editorial board so that high-quality papers can be considered articles if they meet the following requirements: (1) The conference grants copyright to the journal for all published articles, and reference is made to the conference in each article. (2) The work must be enlarged to the size of a research article; and be written in English. see more

Article Format:

Scientific Articles and Scientific Communications have the same format:
Title in English (if the manuscript is written in English, obviate the title in Spanish or Portuguese),
(If the manuscript is writen in Spanish or Portuguese, it is mandatory that title, abstract and keywords appear in English too).

Name and surname of the author or authors, indicating with thanks{…} author correspondence. 

ORCID ID of each author: Mandatory includes the ORCID ID of all authors. Authors who do not have this identifier must enter ORCID, create their ID and supply it with information (author data, affiliation, publications, projects, etc.). Authors who already have an ORCID ID must ensure that their ORCID area has the personal information previously indicated.

These sections should appear in all manuscript types

Title: The title of your manuscript should be concise, specific and relevant. It should identify if the study reports (human or animal) trial data, or is a systematic review, meta-analysis or replication study. Please do not include abbreviated or short forms of the title, such as a running title or head. These will be removed by our Editorial Office.

Institutional affiliation:  All authors should list their current affiliation and the affiliation where most research was carried out for the preparation of their manuscript. We recommend adding as primary the affiliation where most of the research was conducted or supported, but please check with your institution for any contractual agreement requirements.

It is very important that author names and affiliations are correct. Incorrect information can mean a lack of proper attribution or incorrect citation and can even lead to problems with promotion or funding. After the publication of an article, updates or corrections to the author’s address or affiliation may not be permitted.

Abstract: If the manuscript is written in English, obviate the abstract in Spanish or Portuguese; regardless of language, maximum must have 200 words. The abstract should be a single paragraph and should follow the style of structured abstracts, but without headings. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article: it must not contain results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.

Keywords: An averge of five  pertinent keywords need to be added after the abstract. We recommend that the keywords are specific to the article, yet reasonably common within the subject discipline.

Introduction: The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance, including specific hypotheses being tested. It is essential to use bibliographical citations that help introduce the reader to the topic and demonstrate the current state of the art in the field. Citations within the text of the paper are identified by Arabic numbers in round brackets. This applies to references in the text of tables, figures and equations as follow:  
Examples
Jones [10] states that…
As see at figure 21 or see the table 4
From the equation (3) we have …

Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the main conclusions. Keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists working outside the topic of the paper.

Body of work: The results are presented, explaining their procedure with rigorously using standard formulation of the area, using some reasoned criteria. Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible and limitations of the work highlighted. Tables and figures must have a concise “caption” on the Botton, that accurately they describe what they mean.

About presentation of figures
:

A graphical is an image that appears alongside the text abstract in the Table of Contents. In addition to summarizing the content, it should represent the topic of the article in an attention-grabbing way. Moreover, it should not be exactly the same as the Figure in the paper or just a simple superposition of several subfigures.

Note that the figure  must be original and unpublished artwork. Any postage stamps, currency from any country, or trademarked items should not be included in it.

Them figure  should be a high-quality illustration or diagram in any of the following formats: PNG, JPEG.

Written text in a imagen should be clear and easy to read, using one of the following fonts: Times, Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Ubuntu or Calibri.

The minimum required size for the imagen  is 560 × 1100 pixels (height × width). The size should be of high quality in order to reproduce well.

Conclusions: This section is not mandatory but can be added to the manuscript if the discussion is unusually long or complex. It could also be used to include recommendations for future research and the benefits of its results.

Supplementary Materials, Data Availability  and Software Source Code:

Sel.Mat is committed to supporting open scientific exchange and enabling our authors to achieve best practices in sharing and archiving research data, including, but not limited to protocols, analytic methods, raw data, processed data, code, software, algorithms, and study material. The data should be FAIR – findable, accessible and reusable – so that other researchers can locate and use the data. We recommend that data and code should be deposited in a trusted repository that will allow for maximum reuse (see the Data Preservation section below).

SelMat data policies are informed by TOP Guidelines.

Where ethical, legal, or privacy issues are present, data should not be shared. The authors should clarify the availability status of the data upon submission and make any limitations or exceptions clear in the Data Availability Statement. Authors should ensure that the data shared is in accordance with consent provided by participants on the use of confidential data. Authors should ensure that the publication of such data does not compromise the anonymity of the participants or breach local data protection laws.

In situations where access is restricted to protect confidential or proprietary information, authors will be requested to clearly explain the restrictions on the dataset and make the data available upon request, with permission for the purposes of peer review. We encourage the authors to archive their research data through appropriate data repositories or provide us with minimal datasets within Supplementary Material.

Data availability statements

During the peer review and editorial decision process, authors can be asked to share existing datasets or raw data that have been analyzed in the manuscript, and whether they will be made available to other researchers following publication. Authors will also be asked for the details of any existing datasets that have been analyzed in the manuscript.

How to choose an appropriate data repository:

SelMat encourages the submission of data to community-recognized data repositories where possible. We recommend the authors visit re3data.org or fairsharing.org to help identify registered and certified data repositories relevant to their subject area if no community resource is available. If the authors’ institution has its generalist data repository this can be used to host authors’ data as long as the repository can mint DataCite DOIs, and allows for data to be shared under open terms of use (for example the CC0 waiver).

Data citation:

Authors are encouraged to formally cite any datasets stored in external repositories that are mentioned within their manuscript, including the main datasets that are the focus of the submission, as well as any other datasets that have been used in the work. For previously published datasets, authors should cite both the related research articles and the datasets themselves. Appropriate citation of data is checked and enforced by Journal Editorial staff before publication.

Computer Code and Software:

For work where novel computer code was developed, authors should release the code either by depositing in a recognized, public repository or uploading as supplementary information to the publication. The name and version of all software used should be clearly indicated.
