Article Types

Research Article: 

Research articles should present the results of an original research study. These manuscripts should describe how the research project was conducted and provide a thorough analysis of the results of the project. Systematic reviews may be submitted as research articles. Authors are encouraged to be concise although currently there is no length limit on research articles. 

Survey article / Critical survey article: 

A survey article aims to summarize the evolution of a theory, concept, or technique from inception to the current state of the art. It focuses on collecting and presenting technical information, often to describe the history of discoveries about a given topic. A survey article / critical survey article intended for submission should specifically deal with the present status of the topic considered and conclude with possible avenues for future work. It is advisable to develop the article with a brief description of historical details with relevant references and necessary prerequisites to be as self-contained as possible.

Review: 

A review article provides an overview of the published literature in a particular subject area. The review or mini-review should be authoritative and of high interest. A minimum of two figures/illustrations should be included in the review or mini-review that should be a maximum of 5000 words long (excluding references and figure legends). High-quality reviews from leading researchers in their fields are particularly welcome.

Articles Submission Policy: 

A manuscript paper intended for publication in the JP Journal of Geometry and Topology typed in 10-point font size in single spacing with a generous margin all around be submitted for consideration using any of the following modes:

Articles Process Policy: 

Articles received are immediately processed. Once the paper gets through the screening by the local team and Crossref Similarity Check against plagiarism using iThenticate: Plagiarism Detection Software (The Pushpa Publishing House follows strict discipline for accepting manuscripts below 30% overlap excluding references and quotations), it is passed on to the handling Editor who assigns referees with expertise in the field of work in the paper. Referees are requested to provide their reports within a period of three weeks. The reports of the referees help the handling Editor to arrive at a decision. In case of recommendation for revision, the Editor may advise the authors to re-submit their paper after due revision as per suggestions/comments of the referees. The revised paper is again evaluated by the same referees. On receiving the final decision from the Editor, the Editorial office at Prayagraj makes necessary correspondence with the author(s). In case of clear recommendations for publication, the galley proofs of the paper are sent to the corresponding author. After the receipt of the corrected galley proofs, an effort is made to accommodate the paper in an issue to appear next. We understand that the policy of quick decision is in the interest of both the authors as well as the publishers. To ensure speedy publication articles which are sufficiently well presented and are judged by the Editors often get priority. Accepted papers get duly edited and typeset in the style of our journal by the publisher and the galley proofs are sent to the submitting authors.

Title page; abstract; keywords and phrases: 

The first letter of each word in the title should use upper case. Include on the first page the article title, author's name, affiliations with the country name, and email. Authors must provide an abstract of not more than 250 words, the latest Mathematics Subject Classification, and 3 to 6 keywords and phrases. Statements of Lemmas, Propositions, and Theorems should be set in italics.

Figures and Tables: 

Figure(s) set in any format should be neat and clearly visible. Please include figures at the end of the manuscript Word file, or provide a high-quality PDF containing all figures. Make sure images are of the highest resolution, and any letters inside are clear and legible. In addition, all figures and tables be numbered and the appropriate space reserved in the text for insertion be clearly indicated. Tables must be editable, and not as images.

References: 

References be arranged in alphabetical order by the surname of authors. References should be cited in the manuscript by numbers, e.g. [1], [3], [6]; not by author and year. References should be given with their DOIs as much as possible.

Copyright: 

It is assumed that the submitted manuscript has not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the copyright for their article is transferred to the PUSHPA PUBLISHING HOUSE, PRAYAGRAJ, INDIA, if and when, the paper is accepted for publication.

Galley Proofs: 

Galley proofs of an accepted paper will be sent to the corresponding author, unless requested otherwise, for corrections. Authors are advised to check their galley proofs very carefully before returning them to the publisher.

Article Processing Charges (APC): 

An open-access journal provides a wide range of accessibility to published articles and thus is beneficial to the contributors. However, on account of no subscriptions, etc., the journal suffers financially. To meet the publication standard, peer review is necessary which requires a lot of correspondence. Also, proper composing and proofreading costs are to be met.

Maintenance of an efficient office is to be afforded. Therefore, we have the Article Processing Charge (APC) for an accepted paper. To defray the publication cost, authors are requested to arrange APC of their accepted papers at the rate of USD 40.00 per page. However, for authors in India, this charge is INR 1500.00 per page.

Reprints:

A soft copy of the paper is provided ex-gratis to the corresponding author.

Additionally, authors who require printed reprints of their published papers can order a set of 25 reprints for USD 50, with payment made along with the Article Processing Charges (APC).
