Submission

All manuscripts should be submitted via our online submission system. Click here to access the online manuscript submission system.

Once a paper is submitted to our journal, all co-authors must wait six months from the submission date — or, if the paper has already been accepted, they must wait until it is published and an additional six months passed — before submitting another manuscript to Communications Faculty of Sciences University of Ankara Series A1: Mathematics and Statistics (Commun. Fac. Sci. Univ. Ank. Ser. A1. Math. Stat.).

Authors are required to ensure that all items listed below are provided at the time of submission.
1. Main manuscript file (.tex)
(together with all required figure, table, and other auxiliary files needed for compilation, if applicable)
2. Cover Letter
3. Bibliography file (.bib) (uploaded as a supporting file)
4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage Declaration Form (uploaded as a supporting file)

Cover Letter

Manuscripts must be submitted along with a Cover Letter prepared using the journal's official template. In the cover letter, authors are required to recommend an appropriate Area Editor, selected from the journal's official list of Area Editors. Additionally, authors should propose four potential reviewers, including their full names, institutional affiliations, and official email addresses. The suggested reviewers must be qualified experts in the relevant research area, with at least two based in different countries. Reviewers must not have any conflicts of interest with the authors (e.g., former or current co-authors, advisors, students, etc.). Authors may also indicate individuals they would prefer not to review the manuscript, providing a clear and detailed justification for each. Please note that while the editorial office is not obligated to follow these suggestions, doing so may help expedite the reviewer selection process.

Preparing the Manuscript

Manuscripts should be typeset using the LaTeX typesetting system. Authors should prepare the article using the Journal's template. To download the LaTeX template click here. Submissions in any other format will not be considered for review.

Title Page

The title page should contain the title of the paper, full names of the authors, affiliations addresses and e-mail addresses of all authors. Authors are also required to submit their Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID)’s which can be obtained from http://orcid.org as their URL address in the format http://orcid.org/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Please indicate the corresponding author.
Each manuscript should be accompanied by classification numbers from the Mathematics Subject Classification 2020 scheme.

Authors are also required to provide the Research Organization Registry (ROR) identifier for their institutional affiliation, which can be found at https://ror.org.

Abstract and Keywords

The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research. The length of the Abstract should be between 150 to 5000 characters. At least 3 keywords are required.

Math Formulas

Formulas should be numbered consecutively in the parentheses. Authors should ensure that only equations referenced in the main text are numbered. Moreover, all references to equations must be made using the $\text{eqref}$ command.

Tables

All tables must have numbers (TABLE 1) consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and a legend above the table. Please submit tables as editable text not as images. All tables must be cited in the main text.

Figures
