We argue that when an author’s work is published, the author should thank the reviewers whose comments improved the paper regardless of whether those reviewers’ journals rejected or accepted the work.” That is because scholars should show gratitude to those who deserve it, and those whose comments improved the paper deserve gratitude.
Paper Format
All papers should be prepared in LaTeX and the pdf file of the paper should be sent to the editorial office only through the electronic submission via https://tfss.journals.iau.ir/. Manuscripts under consideration for the journal should not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Manuscript written in English should be typeset according to the following format in order:
- Title;
- Authors;
- Abstract;
- Introduction;
- Mathematical subject classification;
- Keywords;
- Main body;
- Acknowledgment of the Reviewers and ...;
- Conflict of Interest;
- References in alphabetical order;
- Appendix;
- Authors and full addresses.
Note:
■ Title: The title should be concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems, so please avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
■ Abstract: Abstract should be concise and factual, and briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions, (200-400 words with no reference number therein).
■ Keywords: Avoid using abbreviations and plural words, (at least 3 items and at most 20 items).
■ MSC Numbers: 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC2020) numbers must be provided, (primary: only one item; Secondary: at least one item). These numbers can be found here.
■ Corresponding author: The corresponding author should be clearly indicated.
■ Introduction: State the aims and importance of your work, in the first paragraph start broadly and then zoom in to your specific focus, come right to the point, provide an adequate background but avoid a lengthy literature survey.
■ Conclusion: A short conclusions section describing the main conclusions of your article may be included at the end.
Ensure that the following items are present
One author has been designated as the corresponding author with contact details:
- E-mail address
- Affiliation
- ORCID
All necessary files have been uploaded, and contain
- Keywords
- All figure captions
- All tables (including title, description, footnotes)
Further considerations
- Manuscript has been 'spell-checked' and 'grammar-checked'
- All references mentioned in the Reference list are cited in the text, and vice versa
- Permission has been obtained for use of copyrighted material from other sources (including the Web)
Preparation of manuscripts: TFSS is an author-prepared journal which means that authors are responsible for the proper formatting of accepted manuscripts by using the Latex file (Word files (*.doc) are not accepted).
While you are preparing your paper for submission, please take care of the following:
- The work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review, or thesis).
- It is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
- Its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out.
- The manuscript will not be published elsewhere.
- Address all points raised by the editor and reviewers and upload the the file of response to referee's comment with the revised article and highlight the changes in the article.
- Please add "R1" in the title of revised version file, when uploading the first revised version file, same for R2, R3.
- Acknowledgment: At the end of the paper, but preceding the references.
- Authors: Full names, Affiliations, Emails of all authors and ORCID of all authors.
- Abbreviations of titles of periodicals and collections should be given following Mathematical Reviews at Abbreviations of names of serials.
- Please upload your paper along with all tables and figures in a single PDF file. Please don’t upload them in separate files.
- Authors are responsible for the proper formatting of accepted manuscripts by using the TFSS format.
- The article format is free to submit.
- For journal abbreviations used in bibliographies, consult the list of latest Abbreviations of Names of Serials in Mathematical Reviews (MR).
Language
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these).
References
Each reference MUST be cited in your manuscript and play an essential role. An explanation for each reference must be clearly integrated into the narrative of your manuscript. It is highly recommended to use \cite{} to cite each reference.
Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. Take particular care to ensure that the information is correct so that links to referenced articles can be made successfully.
Any references cited within your article should also be present in your reference list and vice versa.
Some guidelines:
-References cited in your abstract must be given in full.
-We recommend that you do not include unpublished results and personal communications in your reference list, though you may mention them in the text of your article.
-Any unpublished results and personal communications included in your reference list must follow the standard reference style of the journal. In substitution of the publication date add "unpublished results" or "personal communication."
-References cited as "in press" imply that the item has been accepted for publication.
-Linking to cited sources will increase the discoverability of your research.
-We encourage the use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) as reference links as they provide a permanent link to the electronic article referenced.
-Our journal reference style will be applied to your article after acceptance, at the proof stage. If required, at this stage we will ask you to correct or supply any missing reference data.
The reference writing format of TFSS has been changed from "December 2023" as follows.
Reference style:
References in Accepted Articles should be in the format of TFSS.
Indicate references by adding a number within square brackets in the text. Number references in the order they appear in your article.

Preprint journal articles
It is likely you will find articles available online prior to being submitted to the peer review procedure and published in a journal. These articles are preprints and may be placed in an online repository or on a publisher’s website (but not in a specific journal issue). Preprints are sometimes updated at different stages of the publication process so you should try to make it clear which version you are citing. If an article based on the preprint has been published in a journal, then if possible read and cite the published version.
