Volumes run concurrently with the calendar year.  There is currently a small backlog of papers, and the Journal strives to publish articles within one year of their acceptance.  The content of each volume is in the back of the last issue.  ISSN 0026-2285 (print), ISSN 1945-2365 (online).   Information for Authors To submit a paper for publication, an author should send an electronic file of the manuscript in a widely acceptable format (PDF preferred) to the Editor at the e-mail address on the home page.  Hard copies of papers may be submitted to the address above if necessary. Authors are encouraged to submit papers directly to a member of the editorial board whose research interest is similar to the subject of the paper.  If a manuscript is sent via email to one of the editors, please cc the message to Michigan.Math.J@umich.edu. Acknowledgement of the paper should occur within a week. The submission of a paper implies the author’s assurance that it has not been copyrighted, published, or submitted for publication elsewhere.  All authors of papers accepted for publication will be required to sign a transfer of copyright agreement. Authors should strive for expository clarity and good literary style.  Manuscripts lacking in these respects will not be published. Preference will be given to manuscripts between ten and forty pages in length.  Manuscripts submitted for publication should be neatly typed on one side of the page only, double-spaced (including references), with generous margins.  Hand-inserted symbols should be well spaced and legible; unusual symbols and complicated combinations of symbols should be avoided.  Diagrams, if not computer generated files, should be drawn in black on separate sheets of white paper; the original art should be submitted along with a xerographic copy.  An acknowledgment of grant support is to be placed at the bottom of the first page of the manuscript.  References to articles and books should be in the standard form with the standard abbreviations established by Mathematical Reviews, and should be listed in alphabetical-chronological order. Upon acceptance of a paper, the author will need to supply an electronic version of their manuscript.  The paper should still be double-spaced, and sent either on a disk, or via electronic mail.  The file will need to be in a TeX/LaTeX/AMS-TeX file (AMS-TeX preferred).  Please indicate which verions of TeX you used, and what operating system has been used to create the diskette.  Please include all figure files and any macro files used in the paper.  A double-spaced hard copy of the final version of the paper should still be sent to the address above.  Once published, authors will receive a PDF file of the final printed version of their article. Hard copy offprints of their article are available upon request.
