NOTES FOR AUTHORS
The Editorial Board of JGSP takes a very active role in selecting and refereeing papers,
and in this way ensuring the best quality of the published articles.
Regarding authorship complaints,
plagiarism complaints
multiple, duplicate, concurrent publication or simultaneous submission,
research results misappropriation,
allegations of research errors and fraud,
violations of research standards,
undisclosed conflicts of interest and
reviewer bias or competitive harmful acts by reviewers this Journal complies completely with
Publishing Ethics Resource Kit (PERK) as described in details here .
Papers of reasonable size will be considered, provided they are not
under consideration for publication elsewhere. The articles should be prepared by following strictly the JGSP style and sent (both LaTeX source file
and the pdf) to one of the Associate Editors whose expertise covers
the research topic, and with whom the author can communicate effectively.
In case of uncertainty the files can be sent directly to the editorial
office in Sofia. Submission of a paper presumes that the authors permit
editing of the paper for language correctness, readability, and JGSP
mathematical style compliance.
All papers should be written in good English, and conform to (La)TeX
format. Regarding (La)TeX - the authors should use standard commands,
classes and packages as much as possible, and follow closely the instructions
listed below. Personal macros should be used only when it is absolutely
necessary and have to be placed always in the preamble.
It is assumed that the potential author will find time to read carefully
the outcome of the journal's template "jgsp-sample.tex"
LaTeX file before starting to prepare his/her paper as it describes
in some detail the use of the specially created class file "gsp.cls"
for processing the articles submitted for publication in JGSP.
The class file, the template and "somedef.tex"
style file which contains some definitions should be placed in the same
directory of the computer. All they can be downloaded in the standard
way following the above links. The class and style files should not
be modified.
It is highly recommended to all authors to make use of the "jgsp-sample.tex"
file as a template for preparing their contributions. This results in
fewer errors in processing and saves authors and editors proofreading
times.
The source Latex file and Figures (if any) should be compressed into a single file and sent to JGSP@bio21.bas.bg

General rules:
The manuscript should be typed using minimal formating.
Do not try to make the print-out look like typeset pages. The more
codes and formating an author inserts into his/her files, the more will
have to be deleted before the actual design can be applied.
Do not use any macros like Visual Basic from Microsoft Word. Do not
justify the text or force hyphenation. Use only one space after a period.
Give each table a heading.
The title page should include (if one does not make use of the template):
- the title of the article
- name(s) of the author(s) and address(es) of the institution(s) where
the work was carried out
- an abstract of less than 100 words
TeXnicalities:
1)
Do not forget to put in the Preamble of your LaTeX file the lines below
and make use of these commands where appropriate.
\newcommand{\rd}{\mathrm{d}}
% Roman d for differential
\newcommand{\re}{\mathrm{e}} % Roman e for exponential
\newcommand{\ri}{\mathrm{i}} % Roman i for imaginary number
\def\semicolon{\nobreak\mskip2mu\mathpunct{}\nonscript\mkern-\thinmuskip{;}
\mskip6muplus1mu\relax} % This defines the semicolon command
2)
Use {\mathbb R}, {\mathbb C}, {\mathbb H}, {\mathbb Z} to denote the
real, complex, quaternion and integer numbers, respectively, and {\mathbb
R}^n, {\mathbb C}^n, {\mathbb H}^n, {\mathbb Z}^n for spaces built on
them. The spheres, projective, Euclidean, Lorentz etc spaces should
be denoted in analogous way.
3) Sets, spaces etc. should be introduced in the following format:
U(m,n-m) = \{g \in GL(n,{\mathbb C}) \semicolon g\epsilon g^{\dagger}
= \epsilon \}
Please, note the use of semicolon command inside.
4) References should be indicated in the text by square-bracketed
numbers and listed in ALPHABETICAL order (by first author) with
FULL DETAILS according to the samples given below for a journal
article, book and a paper in a proceedings volume:
- journal article:
names and initials of all authors, the full title of the article in
italics, title of the journal abbreviated in accordance with international
practice, the volume number (in bold), year of publication, first and
last page numbers.
\bibitem{pau} Paulsen W., {\it What is the Shape
of the Mylar Balloon?}, Amer. Math. Monthly {\bf 101} (1994) 953--958.
- book:
names and initials of all authors, the full title in italics, publisher,
place, year of publication.
\bibitem{wil} Willmore T., {\it An Introduction to Differential Geometry},
Second Edition, Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford, 1982.
- paper in a proceedings volume:
names and initials of all authors, the full title of the article in
italics, title of the proceedings volume, editor's name(s), publisher,
place, year of publication, first and last page numbers.
\bibitem{zla} Zlatanov S., Grahovski G. and Kostov A., {\it Second

Lie Algebras}, In: Geometry, Integrability and Quantization,

pp. 55--77.
5) Upon acceptance of the article a hard copy of the final version
of the manuscript should be sent to the Editor in Sofia on a disk (prepared
following the abovementioned rules!!) and as a single-sided paper copy.
The print-out should match the disk file exactly. The figure file(s)
(if any), should be compressed together into a single file.
