How to submit an article to the MML
To submit an article to the Mizar Mathematical Library follow these steps:
- We claim that an author of a Mizar article is satisfied with the content
of his article. None of special restrictions are given for the lenght
of an article; usually it is from 1000 to 5000 lines, typical length
is about 1700 lines. However the article may be rejected if it will
be too short.
- Check if your article uses the local data base. If so, empty local
"prel"
subdirectory (transfer preliminaries to your article if needed)
- Check your private vocabulary if you use any:
call "checkvoc ".
If it contains extended ASCII characters or one-letter symbols,
correct the formats. White space in a symbol is not allowed also.
Checkvoc compares your private symbols with the ones from the MML and
returns error if any repeat.
- The name of your article had to be built according to the DOS principles
with the obligatory extension ".miz". File name must contain only
letters, digits and symbol "_". The first character must be a letter
(excluding "x").
The length of the name should be between 5 and 8.
File name had to be unique,
that is it must differ from article names yet submitted to the MML.
The correspondence of a name with the title of article as well
as 8-chars identifiers are preferred.
- The vocabulary name should be the same as the article name,
but the obligatory extension is ".voc". Make sure that the vocabulary
file does not contain unused symbols. For details concerning
vocabulary building, check
Vocabulary section on WWW.
- Make sure that your article is without errors: remove the
@proof's and call Mizar verifier. Use
most recent
version of PC Mizar as possible.
- Use example.bib file (in "doc" directory of your Mizar
distribution)
to make bibliography note for your article.
The name of this file has to be same as the name of your Mizar
article file name. Note that English language should be used.
- Complete submission form (mmldecl.txt in case of one author
or mmldecls.txt if more) you may find in Mizar distribution package
and send it by snail mail or by fax to the following address:
Association of Mizar Users
University of Bialystok
Institute of Mathematics
ul. Akademicka 2
15-267 Bialystok
Poland
The fax number: 0-85-745-75-45
Postscript versions of the above files are available here (for
one and more
authors).
- For the above address you can also send MS DOS formatted diskette
with your Mizar article and bibliography file (vocabulary if needed).
However the easiest way is to e-mail the files to:
mml@mizar.uwb.edu.pl.
You can use any method to do it: the preferred one is to compress
your files with any of popular file compressors (like ZIP, PKZIP, ARJ,
RAR,
TAR with GZIP, ...) and attach the file to your mail.
Please do not send
any .miz files 'as is' in the message body.

On this page you can check how your article will be automatically
TeXed if it will be accepted for publication in the
Journal of Formalized Mathematics.
The Library Committee strongly encourages the previewing process.
If you have any questions or comments concerning submissions to the MML,
e-mail
mus@mizar.uwb.edu.pl (Mizar User Service) or
