Submitting Your Book
After your book or article is accepted for publication:
-
Submit the TeX (AMS-LaTeX or AMS-TeX) source file(s) and any graphics files to the AMS as soon as possible.
-
Send only the files that are needed to process your submission or archive it for future reference.
-
If the submission is for an author-prepared series, send the DVI, PostScript, or PDF file.
Before sending the source file(s):
-
Proofread your article or monograph carefully.
-
Remember that the files that you send must be the exact files used to generate the proof copy that was accepted for publication.
Preparing your file for submission to the AMS
-
The AMS strongly encourages you to use the appropriate author package to prepare your manuscript.
-
Acceptable file formats: AMS-LaTeX/AMS-TeX, Encapsulated PostScript, and DVI (see Note).
-
NOTE:
-
If you are submitting multiple files, use the ZIP utility to compress them into a single file for transmission.
-
If you are submitting DVI files, you must use the ZIP utility to avoid file corruption.
Sending your file to the AMS
Preferred:
-
Web
-
Submit ACCEPTED manuscripts via the Web.
-
For security and confidentiality reasons, you must have an AMS Web Account. You will be given an opportunity to create an account as you go through the submission process.
Other options:
-
FTP
-
Files can also be transferred via FTP (see the Sample FTP Session in the AMS Author Handbook for instructions). You must use an FTP client; a web browser will not work.
-
Log in as anonymous and enter your email address as the password.
-
Connect to the incoming directory/folder and transfer the files using binary mode. This is the only directory in the FTP area that is open to write access.
-
After the transfer is complete, you must send mail to pub-submit@ams.org to inform AMS staff of the transfer. The message should include: name of the file(s) transferred, name of the book series, and author or editor name (if applicable).
If you have difficulty transferring files to the AMS FTP site, send mail to tech-support@ams.org.
