Mathematics publishing requirements
Mathematics papers have unique formatting requirements centered on LaTeX typesetting, formal proof structure, and notation standards. Most mathematics journals (Annals of Mathematics, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Inventiones Mathematicae) require strict theorem-lemma-proof formatting, consistent notation, and complete bibliography using BibTeX. Equations must be numbered, referenced, and formatted consistently. Proofs must be formally closed (QED or square symbol). Our checker validates mathematics-specific requirements alongside standard manuscript checks.
Mathematics-specific checks
Theorem/proof structure
Validate theorem, lemma, corollary, and proof environments are properly formatted and closed.
Equation numbering
Check that all displayed equations are numbered and referenced correctly in the text.
Notation consistency
Flag inconsistent use of mathematical notation and symbols throughout the paper.
Definition completeness
Verify all key mathematical objects are formally defined before use.
Bibliography (BibTeX)
Validate references are complete with journal, volume, pages, and year for mathematical citations.
AMS style compliance
Check formatting against American Mathematical Society style requirements.

The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
Yes: virtually all major mathematics journals require LaTeX submissions, most commonly using AMS-LaTeX (amsart, amsbook document classes). Few mathematics journals accept Word submissions.
Use standard LaTeX theorem environments (\begin{theorem}, \begin{proof}). Proofs should end with \qed or \square. Theorems should be numbered sequentially. Cross-reference theorems and lemmas by their numbers throughout the paper.
Number all displayed equations that are referenced elsewhere in the paper. Inline equations and unreferenced displayed equations don't require numbering. Use \label{} and \eqref{} for cross-references.
Most mathematics journals use author-year citations (Smith, 2022) or numbered references [1], depending on the journal. AMS journals typically use BibTeX with amsrefs or standard bibliography styles. Always check the specific journal's author guidelines.
