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 provide the following: (i) the article's MSC (Mathematical Subject Classification) codes, (ii) the article's keywords, and (iii) your confirmation that the submitted article is in compliance with the "Use of AI" guideline below.

Important note: once an article is accepted, we will require a source file using the Article Template provided below as well as any associated graphics files. Authors are welcome to use the template to generate the pdf file of their paper at any stage of the review process, including when first submitting their paper.

Use of AI (artificial intelligence): Integers will not consider any article that makes use of artificial intelligence in producing mathematics, computer code, bibliographic information, or other content. This does not apply to the use of basic tools to improve the presentation, such as grammar and spelling.

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:

• the newness/novelty of the paper's contributions
• the correctness of the results
• the interest and relevance of the subject matter
• the quality of the writing and grammar

When authors are informed that the editors plan to accept the paper, they will be asked to do the following: (a) format your paper by using the .tex file in the Article Template provided below and following the guidelines presented therein; 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

In order for Integers to be as homogeneous in appearance as possible, and to help insure a quicker publication of your paper, we ask that you format your paper using the LaTeX template provided below, and adhere to the writing guidelines presented therein. Please also read the .pdf version of the template, which should be helpful.
