Supplement Instructions

To prevent a delay in the production process, please follow the three steps below if your paper has been accepted and the supplemental material has also been approved by the Editor.  The paper and supplement must be separate files.  We do not edit or typeset the supplemental material; it is posted as provided. Do not include cross-references in the paper to cite objects from the supplement.  If there is a need to make a change during the proof stage, please be sure to correct the supplemental files and send with the changes for the paper.

Note, it is the journal policy to post ALL supplemental files with the paper when it is published on Euclid.  This includes data, code or any other type of file.  While it is acceptable to post code/data on other platforms (e.g., GitHub), these files must also be provided along with the files for the paper. 

For each supplemental file, please provide a title and a brief description.  Each supplemental file will be assigned an individual DOI by the typesetter. Please add a section titled “Supplementary Material” before the reference list.  It is recommended that you use the journal template found at https://www.e-publications.org/ims/support/ which contains this section. 

Depending on the nature of the material, if there are multiple files you may provide either a Zip file containing all files or individual files. The supplemental files should be cited in text and an entry must be added to the reference list.

1. Cite the supplementary material in text

Add author(s) and year of publication.

EXAMPLE
Explicit formulas for these quantities are provided in Section 4 of the Supplementary Material (Smith (2019)).

Do not use \ref{} in the main paper to cite something in the supplement. Any direct citation of something in the supplement will result in (??) since the supplement is not typeset. 

2. Add an entry to reference list

(author(s), year, Supplement to “Title of paper”. The DOI will be added by the typesetter.)

EXAMPLE
Smith, M. (2019). Supplement to “A Bayesian analysis of some nonparametric problems.” DOI: 10.1214/[provided by typesetter].

3. Provide a title and description for each supplemental file connected to the paper.

(A zip file counts as one file and should contain an overall description.) This section should be added prior to the reference list. Please see the template at https://www.e-publications.org/ims/support/. Note the DOI and link will be filled in during production.

EXAMPLE

Notes for authors

1. Submission.

   Bernoulli uses an electronic submission system, EJMS, which also handles the IMS journals. Authors should access the EJMS at www.e-publications.org/ims/submission/. If you are a first time user, you must complete the registration. You are only required to register once, but must do so for each journal in EJMS. If you are already registered in EJMS for another journal, click Registration and follow the instructions.

   After the registration is completed, you will have the ability to submit your manuscript. Complete the form and then upload your PDF file. Unpublished or not easily available papers cited in the manuscript should be uploaded as supplementary files during the submission process.

   In case of submission problems please contact Kristina Mattson for assistance (see below).

2. The Paper.

   Manuscripts should be written in LaTex using the Bernoulli template. Please do not alter the margins or the font size. Files bj-sample.pdf and bj-sample.tex inside Bernoulli template package will assist in the preparation of a camera-ready paper in LaTeX. These documents contain useful information regarding the structure of your document, proper tagging style, layout features, etc.

   The length of a typical paper printed in Bernoulli should not exceed 28 pages in this format. If more space is needed, additional material (such as further technical derivations or more detailed simulation or data results) should be placed as supplementary material, see the supplement instructions given below. When first submitting a manuscript, you can provide supplementary material in an appendix as part of the main article pdf, but this should be indicated in the "comments to the editor" text field. Also if you have strong reasons to pass over 28 pages for the main article, excluding supplementary material, this must be clearly expounded to the editor. Failing to do so will result in an immediate rejection of the paper for formal reasons.

   On acceptance, you will be asked to provide Mattson Publishing Services with a LaTeX file of the final version of the paper.

3. Title page.

   The title must include: the full title; full names and the affiliation and full addresses of all authors; a running title (maximum 50 characters); an asterisk indicating the author responsible for correspondence and correction of proofs. Footnotes are not allowed. Any acknowledgement should be placed at the end of the paper before the references.

4. Summary and keywords.

   The summary should consist of one paragraph not exceeding 200 words, with mathematical expressions reduced to a minimum. Citations to other work should also be avoided. Keywords or phrases should be submitted for indexing purposes.

5. Equations.

   Displayed equations should be numbered at the right-hand margin. Short formulae should be left in the text where possible, but should not increase the height of the line.

6. Illustrations.

   Illustrations are to be numbered consecutively and provided with a caption at the bottom in the journal style. They should be included as an integral part of the file.

7. Tables.

   Tables should be numbered consecutively and provided with a brief title or caption. Journal style should be followed.

8. References.

   References in the body of the paper should use the \citep{} command rather than author/year. Using the natbib package then produces a numbered bibliography:

   [1] Chen, X. (1999). How often does a Harris recurrent Markov chain recur? Ann. Probab. 27, 1324--1346. Abbreviations for journals should follow the standard of Mathematical Reviews and can be found at www.ams.org/msnhtml/serials.pdf or in the current index issue of Mathematical Reviews. Complete references can be obtained using the MR Lookup feature.

   Only references mentioned in the text should be included in the list of references. References to books, monographs and reports should include the year of publication, title, edition, editor(s), place of publication and publisher in that order. Please refer to a recent issue of Bernoulli for details.

9. Supplement Instructions for Accepted Papers
   

    

10. Proofs.

    Before publication, the corresponding author will receive an e-mail regarding galley proofs. This email will also include instructions for returning corrections as well as links to forms required for publication.

11. Offprints.

    Every corresponding author will receive a pdf file via email of the final article. Paper offprints may be purchased by using Offprint Purchase Order Forms.

12. Open Access.
    
    
    If you wish to publish your paper open access, you may do so by paying the full page charges; see
     
    https://imstat.org/shop/publication-charge-funding-form/
     
    for the current rates, and for further instructions. Open access is granted on any article for which full publication charges are paid.
    
    
    
13. Copyright.

    Submission of a paper to Bernoulli will be taken to imply that it presents original unpublished work, not under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the copyright for their article is transferred to the Publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. The copyright covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including electronic distribution, reprints, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations.

    However, the author(s) reserve the following:
     
    1. All proprietary rights other than copyright, auch as patent rights.

    3. The right to place the final version of this article (exactly as published in the journal) on their own homepage or in a public digital repository, provided there is a link to the official journal site.
    4. The right to provide a copy of the final peer-reviewed manuscript to the NIH upon acceptance for publication, for public archiving in PubMed Central as soon as possible but no later than 12 months after publication.  

    Permission to publish illustrations must be obtained by the author before submission and any acknowledgements should be included in the captions.
