PI INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES
LATEX AUTHOR TEMPLATE

This is a manuscript-formatting template, not a published research paper.
All article text, author identities and the sample bibliography entry are
illustrative. Replace them with your own manuscript before submission.

OVERLEAF
1. New Project > Upload Project > select PIJMS_LaTeX_Author_Template.zip.
2. Set main.tex as the main document. Select pdfLaTeX as compiler.
3. In main.tex, find AUTHOR DETAILS: EDIT THIS BLOCK.
4. Replace ArticleTitle, ArticleAuthors, CitationAuthors, AuthorAffiliations,
   AuthorEmails, ArticleAbstract, ArticleKeywords and ArticleMSC.
5. Replace the MAIN MANUSCRIPT demonstration sections with your own work.
6. Replace references.bib with genuine, verified bibliography entries.
7. Recompile. Check citations, equations, tables, figures and page breaks.
8. Download the complete source ZIP and PDF for submission through the
   journal's submission workflow. Consult the website for current policies.

LOCAL COMPILATION
Run inside this folder:
  pdflatex main
  bibtex main
  pdflatex main
  pdflatex main
A TeX distribution with the packages named in main.tex is required.

WHAT TO EDIT
- Content in the clearly marked AUTHOR DETAILS and MAIN MANUSCRIPT blocks.
- Author count, affiliations, corresponding-author email and keywords.
- MSC codes that actually apply to the manuscript.
- Section names, theorem statements, proofs, tables and figures.
- References and any declarations; every declaration must be factually true.
- Cite references with \cite{key}; cross-reference equations with \eqref{key}.
- Use \label and \ref for numbered theorems, tables and figures.
- Use math notation inside $...$, e.g. $\pi_G$ or $\mathbb{R}$.
- Escape &, %, # and _ in normal text: \&, \%, \# and \_.

WHAT THE EDITORIAL OFFICE COMPLETES
- Volume, issue, issue period, publication year and DOI.
- Received, accepted and published dates.
- Final starting page and the final article citation.
Do not interpret the -- placeholders as assigned publication information.

LAYOUT NOTES
- A4 pages, journal logo/header on the first page, compact website header
  on later pages and double maroon rules.
- The introduction follows the abstract. The second numbered section starts
  a compact-layout page using \JournalMainLayout.
- The template contains a sample figure drawn directly in LaTeX; no extra
  plotting package is required for that figure.
- The final citation follows the references. Its ending page updates through
  \pageref{StudioLastPage}. Authors should not invent a DOI or issue number.
- Additional packages may be needed for your own specialized notation.

WEBSITE ADMINISTRATOR
Publish PIJMS_LaTeX_Author_Template.zip as the author download and
PIJMS_Author_Template_Sample.pdf as the visual reference.
Website_Download_Block.html is an optional OJS inline-HTML block.
Replace its two placeholder URLs with the actual uploaded file URLs.
This package does not change the live journal website.

ORCID IN SUPERSCRIPT
Fill FirstAuthorORCID and SecondAuthorORCID in main.tex with the authors'
own verified IDs. Empty fields show actual unlinked green ORCID symbols.
Replace placeholders before submission, or remove that AuthorORCID command.
For more authors, define another ORCID variable and reuse AuthorORCID.
