About the journal
Formerly the IMA Journal of Mathematics Applied in Medicine and Biology.
Mathematical Medicine and Biology publishes original articles with a significant mathematical content addressing topics in medicine and biology. Papers exploiting modern developments in applied mathematics are particularly welcome. The biomedical relevance of mathematical models should be demonstrated clearly and validation by comparison against experiment is strongly encouraged.
The journal welcomes contributions relevant to any area of the life sciences including:
- biomechanics
- biophysics
- cell biology
- developmental biology
- ecology and the environment
- epidemiology
- immunology
- infectious diseases
- neuroscience
- pharmacology
- physiology
- population biology
Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS.
Manuscripts should be sent to one of the Editors. Electronic submissions are particularly welcomed, and these should be in the form of a single postscript or pdf file. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to provide a LATEX file of the paper, so please bear this in mind when preparing the paper for submission. Further information on this is given below.
Alternatively hard copies can be sent, and in that case four clear copies are required. Authors should also send two copies of any of their own unpublished work to which crucial reference is made in the paper submitted. If, in the opinion of the Editors, a paper is more suitable for one of the other IMA Journals, they may forward it directly to the editors of that journal for consideration, subject to the consent of the authors.

FORM OF MANUSCRIPT.
The required minimum line spacing in all parts of the manuscript including references is three lines per inch i.e. double the standard line spacing of typewritten text. Only one side of each page should be used in at least one of the copies. The title page should include the name, affiliation and address of each author, and a short abstract. Each section, including the introduction, should be numbered, with equations numbered, for example (2.1), (2.2), etc. in section 2, on the right-hand side of the page. Nonstandard notation should be explained in the text. Footnotes should be avoided. A list of tables and figure captions should be appended to the manuscript. Drawings should be suitable for direct photographic reproduction at printed size.
REFERENCES.
The Harvard system of references, giving the surname of the author(s) and year of publication in the text, should be used. Each listed reference should begin with the authors' surnames followed by initials, the year, and the title of the work. Then, for a journal article, the journal name (abbreviated in accordance with Mathematical Reviews), volume number, and inclusive page numbers should follow, while, for a book, the title, the editor (if applicable), the place of publication, and publisher should be stated.
COPYRIGHT/OFFPRINTS.
It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors assign copyright to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, authors may use their own material in publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance. In consideration of this, the publisher will supply free electronic access to the corresponding author of an article. Offprints may be ordered at extra cost at the proof stage.
Authors of accepted papers will be asked to provide the LATEX source files of their paper. In preparing the paper, please use the standard article.cls file and when sending the source file for submission, please ensure that all the macros used to write your paper accompany the manuscript.
Please carefully follow all of the usual instructions to authors as detailed above however, text width should be set to 30 picas (126mm) and the page depth to 46 picas (195mm). It is very important that your references follow the correct
