Electronic Journal of Probability: Submissions

EJP Home > About the Journal > Submissions

Submissions

Submit your paper in pdf file (see below for details) to ejp@math.washington.edu together with a cover letter.

The subject of your e-mail message must contain the word [EJP] (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.

Author Guidelines

Preparation of Accepted Manuscripts

The source file

Papers submitted to EJP/ECP must be typed in a recent version of TeX/LaTeX2e/AmSTeX. We will need the TeX/LaTeX2e/AmSTeX source file to prepare the paper for publication, but this file 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.
The paper has to be typed in some form of TeX/LaTeX/AmSTeX but we do not specify any particular format. The paper has to be typed in a neat way. Theorems, definitions and proofs have to be clearly marked.

FRONT PAGE: After the manuscript is accepted for publication, it has to be edited so that it contains the following information on the front page.

Title.
Author's name, affiliation, postal and electronic address.
Abstract.
Keywords.
AMS subject classification.
Date of submission and date of final version accepted by EJP.
Acknowledgement of support.

The following item may appear on the first page but is optional.

Author's personal WWW home page URL.

No other information should appear on the first page. EJP logo, Paper number, volume and year and Journal URL will be inserted by the Managing Editor.

The abstract and bibliography in html format

The file abs.html must contain a plain text version of the abstract, without any tex mathematic formula if possible.

The file bib.html should contain standard references with links
to MathSciNet.

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 +rwx 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.

Submission of the prepared files

After the paper is accepted, please go to the EJP website
http://www.math.washington.edu/~ejpecp, login as an author and upload the tex source file of the final version together with abs.html and bib.html files.
Attention, you need to list every author of the paper.

If you do not manage to register online, or to upload the necessary files, you may email these files to the managing editor at ejpecpme@math.univ-nantes.fr. Please make explicit in your message that you want the managing editor to register online and upload files on your behalf.

Do not forget to give the reference number given to you by the chief editor during the refereeing process (EJP-year-number).
