Submissions
 
Research articles submitted to ECP should normally be 12 pages or less in length.

You can submit an article to ECP by sending it to the journal by e-mail. Send a suitable electronic file (see below for details) to ecp@math.washington.edu together with a cover letter.

The subject of your e-mail message must contain the word [ECP] (together with the square brackets). Otherwise the message will be processed by a spam filter and will be read with a (possibly significant) delay. The same applies to any follow-up e-mail messages.

Both electronic mail and regular mail are not totally reliable. You can be sure that your manuscript has been received by the editors only when you get a message with the manuscript number. If you do not hear from us within a week please resend your submission.

Warning Please do not upload a new submission as an accepted paper, and do not send it to any other email address except ecp@math.washington.edu.

Author Guidelines
Papers submitted to EJP/ECP must be typed in a recent version of TeX/LaTeX2e/AmSTeX. We will need this source file to prepare the paper for publication, but it will not be made available to the general public. It is the author's responsibility to provide electronic files which can be read and printed by the editors and referees. It is essential that the file should be able to run on a standard TeX installation.

As EJP and ECP are free journals we do not have technical assistance available for copyediting papers. It is therefore the author's responsibility to ensure that the paper is typed in a fashion acceptable for publication.

If possible, the TeX file should be set up so that it is a single file that can be processed with a single tex/latex/amstex command. We prefer that no separate macro, bibtex or .sty files should be necessary.

It is preferred that you submit your paper in pdf file.

Preparation of accepted manuscripts:

When the paper is accepted for publication, please go to the journal website and login as an author and upload the tex file of the final version.
Do not forget to list every author of the paper.
Further details will be emailed to you by the Editor when the paper is accepted.

Here are some style files you may need in preparation of an accepted manuscript.
Here are the sample files for abs.html and bib.html.
AMS has a tool called Mref for creating standard references with links to MathSciNet. See http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-mref for details.
Here is a python script mref.py written by Jim Pitman. It can convert a typical .bbl file written in plain TeX or LaTeX format into an html file with MR links. The script is written as a filter, so on unix you save the script as e.g. mref.py then
% chmod +x mref.py
% cat filename.bbl | mref.py > filename.bbl.html
The conversion is accurate 90 percent of the time so be sure to check the results. However it does not work on preprint items nor on items that do not have Math Review. You then have to edit these items according to the examples given in sample-bib.html.

Advice You can put all the neccessary files (mypaper.tex, paper-head.sty, abs.html, bib.html, copyright.pdf)
in one big zip or tar file. Then you only need to upload this big file.
