Information for prospective authors

Purpose

The primary function of The Fibonacci Quarterly is to serve as a focal point for wide spread interest in the Fibonacci and related numbers, especially with respect to new results, research proposals, challenging problems and innovative proofs of old ideas.

Editorial Policy

The Fibonacci Quarterly seeks articles that are intelligible yet stimulating to its readers, most of whom are university teachers and students. These articles should be lively and well motivated, with new ideas that develop enthusiasm for number sequences or the exploration of number facts. Illustrations and tables should be wisely used to clarify the ideas of the manuscript. Unanswered questions are encouraged, and a complete list of references is absolutely necessary.

Format for Articles

Articles should be submitted following the format used in current issues of The Fibonacci Quarterly.
Papers should be typewritten or reproduced typewritten copies that are clearly readable, double-spaced with wide margins, and only on one side of the paper.
The title should be in boldface print and capital letters.
The full name and address of the author/authors must appear at the beginning of the paper directly under the title. Include an e-mail address if possible.
There must also be a short abstract following the author's address.
Headings of sections should be numbered, in boldface print and centered.
Standard notation must be used for the Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell and other familiar recurences.
Equations should be numbered on the right side of the page.
References should be numbered and in alphabetical order.
Illustrations should be drawn carefully on separate sheets of bond paper, approximately twice the size that they are to appear in print.
Illustrations and tables must also be included in the paper for easier refereeing.
One or more A.M.S. classification numbers must be included after the references, or on the bottom of the last page.

Authors are encouraged to keep a copy of their manuscripts for their own files as protection against loss. The editor will give immediate acknowledgement of all manuscripts received.

The journal will now accept articles via electronic services. However, electronic manuscripts must be submitted using the typesetting mathematical wordprocessor AMS-TeX. Submitting manuscripts using AMS-TeX will speed up the refereeing process. AMS-TeX can be downloaded from the internet via the homepage of the American Mathematical Society. Further information may be found on the inside front cover of any recent issue of The Fibonacci Quarterly.
