The Editorial Process

To speed up publication, and to ensure a unified layout throughout the journal, we require the use of LATEX.

Preparation of Manuscripts

The manuscript should be written in LATEX. It must include a title, the author’s name(s), an abstract, and the keywords. The 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification codes should be added, if applicable. Pictures should not be in color, their resolution should be at least 300 dpi, and all used fonts must be embedded.

Each submission should be accompanied by a cover letter answering the following questions:

  1. Why do you think your paper fits in the scope of the journal Logica Universalis?
  2. What is the importance of your paper regarding the already existing literature on the subject?
  3. What is the value of your work for the development of universal logic as a general theory of logical systems?
  4. In which sense does your paper promote a general vision and understanding of logic as reasoning and of logic as the science of reasoning?
  5. What kind of audience might be interested in your research?

All authors should give their complete addresses along with an e-mail address, if applicable. Please note that we cannot accept electronic files produced on any other typesetting or word processing system.

Class File

To simplify the transformation process between your documents and the final layout, we provide the LATEX class file birkjour.cls ready for use with the newer LATEX versions (LATEX2e) which can be downloaded from the web page

http://www.birkhauser-science.com/math/downloads

as a small zip file, birkjour.zip (see also link here below).

Then, the first line in your document should be

\documentclass{birkjour}

The class file mainly sets the fonts, margins and spacing. It is based on the standard AMSart class. Hence all of the usual LATEX and AMS-LATEX commands can be used inside your document. A small sample file containing a short documentation and being useful as template is also provided in the zip file. The authors are highly recommended not to modify the class file by introducing personal settings and/or definitions.
