I. SUBMITTING AN ARTICLE
Submitting an article for consideration in Integers is done electronically by emailing a pdf file of the article to integersjournal@gmail.com. In the accompanying email message, please indicate the article's MSC (Mathematical Subject Classification) codes and keywords.
Important note: once an article is accepted, we will require a source file and any associated graphics files. See below for more information.
II. REVIEW PROCESS
When an article is submitted, an email will be sent (within the next several days) to the submitting author acknowledging receipt of the paper. The Editors will assess the paper and decide if it will be sent out to be refereed. Sometimes, because the paper contains extensive grammatical errors or is otherwise deemed to be of insufficient quality, or because its focus lies outside the journal's scope, the submission will be returned to the submitting author without it being formally refereed. For all other submissions, one or more referee reports will be obtained. We use a blind peer-review process in which the names of the authors of the manuscript are known to the referees, but the authors do not know the identity of the referees. Important criteria considered by the referees and editors include the following:
When authors are informed that the editors plan to accept the paper, they will be asked to do the following: (a) format the paper according to the formatting instructions (see below), and (b) carefully proofread the paper and repair all grammar and formatting errors. Once these steps are done, the authors should send the new LaTeX file, the corresponding .pdf file, and any graphics files (if needed) as separate attachments. Note that papers will not be formally accepted for publication until all the above-mentioned steps have been satisfactorily completed
III. BASIC LATEX FILE CONSTRUCT
In order for Integers to be as homogeneous in appearance as possible, and to help insure a quicker publication of your paper, we request that you follow a few basic guidelines, given below, while formatting your paper for publication in Integers:
Important: Please include any and all line skips that are given below.
The beginning of your latex file should read exactly as follows:
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\textwidth= 5.00in
\textheight= 7.4in
\topmargin = 30pt
\evensidemargin=0pt
\oddsidemargin=55pt
\headsep=17pt
\parskip=.5pt
\parindent=12pt
\font\smallit=cmti10
\font\smalltt=cmtt10
\font\smallrm=cmr9
\usepackage{amssymb,latexsym,amsmath,epsfig,amsthm} %% Add other packages as necessary
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}
{-30pt \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}
{2.3ex \@plus.2ex}
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries\boldmath}}
\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}
{-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}
{1.5ex \@plus .2ex}
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries\boldmath}}
\renewcommand{\@seccntformat}[1]{\csname the#1\endcsname. }
\newcommand\blfootnote[1]{
\begingroup
\renewcommand\thefootnote{}\footnote{#1}
\addtocounter{footnote}{-1}

\begin{document}
Next comes your title and author list information in the following construct:
\begin{center}
\centerline{\smallit Received: , Revised: , Accepted: , Published: } % We will fill in
the dates
\vskip 30pt
Followed by your abstract in the following construct:
\centerline{\bf Abstract}
\noindent
Put your abstract here. Please limit it to half of a page of text.
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markright{\smalltt INTEGERS: 25 (2025)\hfill}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\baselineskip=12.875pt
\vskip 30pt
Your paper starts here with your first section.
IV. ADDITIONAL FORMATTING AND STYLISTIC GUIDELINES
\noindent{\bf Theorem 1} ([4]). {\em If $x > 1$, then $x+1 > 2$.}
or
