Instructions for Authors
Kybernetika will consider for publication papers presenting original results in the fields of Control Systems, Information Sciences, System Sciences, Statistical Decision Making, Applied Probability Theory, Random Processes, Fuzziness and Uncertainty Theories, Operations Research and Theoretical Computer Science, as well as in the topics closely related to the above fields.
Manuscripts should be submitted only electronically. To submit your paper, please send an e-mail letter with a PDF (or postscript) file of the manuscript as an attachment to the Editorial Office (kybernetika@utia.cas.cz). Authors are also expected to provide a LaTeX file using the style of Kybernetika if the paper is accepted for publication.
Submission of a manuscript to Kybernetika is representation by the author that the manuscript has not been published or simultaneously submitted to publication elsewhere. A cover letter must indicate the author to whom correspondence should be sent.
Manuscripts should be in English, should not on average exceed 20 pages and should be expressed in a clear and concise manner. Footnotes should be kept to minimum. An abstract not exceeding 250 words that summarizes the principle technique and conclusions of the article along with lists of key words and AMS subject classification must accompany each manuscript. Because the abstract must be able to stand independently, mathematical formulas and bibliographical references should be kept to a minimum. The author's e-mail and full postal addresses should be included with the manuscript; they will be published at the end of the paper.
References should be cited within the text either by numerals in brackets or by authors followed by the respective numeral in brackets. References should be listed in alphabetical order. The following reference style should be used:
For journal article.
Author: Title of paper. Title of the journal (abbreviated in accordance with Math. Reviews), volume, year of publication in brackets, inclusive pagination.
For books, research reports and proceedings.
Author: Title of book. Edition (if other than first). Publisher's name, place and year of publication.
For a paper in a bound collection.
Author: Title of paper. In: Title of collection, name(s) of editor (in brackets), publisher's name, place and year of publication, inclusive pagination.
Figures (charts and diagrams) should be in the EPS format or originated in TeX. Note that tables and algorithms are not considered as figures and should not be treated as such. Authors are encouraged to attach also colour graphs and figures, which will be published in the electronic version.
To assist referees, a copy of relevant unpublished references should be also submitted with an indication of whether or not they have been accepted for publication.
