The African Journal of
Mathematics and Computer Science Research (AJMCSR)
(ISSN:2006-9731)
is an open access journal that
publishes high-quality
solicited and unsolicited articles, in all areas of Mathematics and
Computer Science Research such as Mathematical model of
ecological disturbances, properties of upper fuzzy
order, Monte Carlo forecast of production using
nonlinear econometricmodels, Mathematical model of
homogenious tumour growth, Asymptotic behavior of
solutions of nonlinear delay differential equations with
impulse etc. All articles published in AJMCSR will be peer-reviewed. AJMCSR
is a rapid response journal with two issues published every month.
Manuscripts must be sent
as e-mail attachment to
ajmcsr@academicjournals.org. AJMCSR editorial board makes an objective and quick
decision on each manuscript and informs the
corresponding author shortly after submission. If
accepted, the article is published online in the next
issue of the journal.
AJMCSR is an open access
journal and all articles published are freely available
to scientific researchers in the public and private
sectors, government agencies, educators and the general
public. The journal also provides a medium for
documentation and archiving of scientific research.
AJMCSR papers are exposed to the widest possible
readership.
Electronic submission
of manuscripts is strongly encouraged, provided that the
text, tables, and figures are included in a single
Microsoft Word file (preferably in Arial font).

Article Types
The following types of
papers are considered for publication:
Review Process
All manuscripts are
reviewed by an editor and members of the Editorial Board
or qualified outside reviewers. Decisions will be made
as rapidly as possible, and the journal strives to
return reviewers’ comments to authors within six weeks.
The editorial board will re-review manuscripts that are
accepted pending revision. It is the goal of the AJMCSR
to publish manuscripts shortly after submission.
Original articles
All
portions of the manuscript must be typed double-spaced
and all pages numbered starting from the title page.
The Title should be a brief phrase describing the
contents of the paper. The Title Page should include the
authors' full names and affiliations, the name of the
corresponding author along with phone, fax and E-mail
information. Present addresses of authors should appear
as a footnote.
The Abstract should
be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly
present the topic, state the scope of the experiments,
indicate significant data, and point out major findings
and conclusions. The Abstract should be 100 to 200 words
in length.. Complete sentences, active verbs, and the
third person should be used, and the abstract should be
written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should
be used and abbreviations should be avoided. No
literature should be cited.
Following the abstract,
about 3 to 10 key words that will provide
indexing references to should be listed.
A list of non-standard
Abbreviations should be added. In general,
non-standard abbreviations should be used only when the
full term is very long and used often. Each abbreviation
should be spelled out and introduced in parentheses the
first time it is used in the text. Only recommended SI
units should be used.
The Introduction
should provide a clear statement of the problem, the
relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed
approach or solution. It should be understandable to
colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Materials and
methods should be complete
enough to allow experiments to be reproduced. However,
only truly new procedures should be described in detail;
previously published procedures should be cited, and
important modifications of published procedures should
be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include
the manufacturer's name and address. Subheadings should
be used. Methods in general use need not be described in
detail.
Results
should be presented with clarity and
precision. The results should be written in the past
tense when describing findings in the authors'
experiments. Previously published findings should be
written in the present tense. Results should be
explained, but largely without referring to the
literature. Discussion, speculation and detailed
interpretation of data should not be included in the
Results but should be put into the Discussion section.
The Discussion
should interpret the findings in view of the results
obtained in this and in past studies on this topic.
State the conclusions in a few sentences at the end of
the paper. The Results and Discussion sections can
include subheadings, and when appropriate, both sections
can be combined.
The Acknowledgments
of people, grants, funds, etc should be brief.
Tables
should be kept to a minimum and be
designed to be as simple as possible. Tables are to be
typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and
footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page,
numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied
with a heading and a legend. Tables should be
self-explanatory without reference to the text. The
details of the methods used in the experiments should
preferably be described in the legend instead of in the
text. The same data should not be presented in both
table and graph form or repeated in the text.
Figure legends
should be typed in numerical
order on a separate sheet. Graphics should be prepared
using applications capable of generating high resolution
GIF, TIFF, JPEG or PowerPoint before pasting in the
Microsoft Word manuscript file. Tables should be
prepared in Microsoft Word. Use Arabic numerals to
designate figures and upper case letters for their parts
(Figure 1). Begin each legend with a title and include
sufficient description so that the figure is
understandable without reading the text of the
manuscript. Information given in legends should not be
repeated in the text.
References:
In the text, a reference
identified by means of an author‘s name should be
followed by the date of the reference in parentheses.
When there are more than two authors, only the first
author‘s name should be mentioned, followed by ’et al‘.
In the event that an author cited has had two or more
works published during the same year, the reference,
both in the text and in the reference list, should be
identified by a lower case letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after
the date to distinguish the works.
Examples:
Smith (2000), Steddy
et al. (2003), (Kelebeni, 1983), (Chandra and Shandra,
1992), (Chege, 1998; Bill, 1987a,b; Cohen, 1993,
1995), (Kumasi et al., 2001)
References should be
listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order.
Articles in preparation or articles submitted for
publication, unpublished observations, personal
communications, etc. should not be included in the
reference list but should only be mentioned in the
article text (e.g., A. Kingori, University of Nairobi,
Kenya, personal communication). Journal names are
abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts. Authors are
fully responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Submissions of
critical reviews, surveys, opinions,
commentaries, essays
and
perspectives covering topics of current interest are
welcome and encouraged.
Proofs and
Reprints: Electronic proofs
will be sent (e-mail attachment) to the corresponding
author as a PDF file. Page proofs are considered to be
the final version of the manuscript. With the exception
of typographical or minor clerical errors, no changes
will be made in the manuscript at the proof stage.
Because AJMCSR will be published freely online, authors
will have free electronic access to the full text ( PDF)
of the article. Authors can freely download the PDF file
from which they can print unlimited copies of their
articles.
Copyright:
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work
described has not been published before (except in the
form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture,
or thesis) that it is not under consideration for
publication elsewhere; that if and when the manuscript
is accepted for publication, the authors agree to
automatic transfer of the copyright to the publisher.
Fees and Charges:
A handling fee of $550 will be
billed to the authors for each manuscript published.
Publication of an article in the African Journal of
Mathematics and Computer Science Research is not
contingent upon the author's ability to pay the charges.
Neither is acceptance to pay the handling fee a
guarantee that the paper will be accepted for
publication. Authors may still request (in advance) that
the editorial office waive some of the handling fee
under special circumstances.
