Introduction
It is essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to established specifications. Failure to follow them may result in your paper being delayed and the effectiveness of the search capabilities offered by electronic delivery will depend upon the care used by authors in preparing their manuscripts. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscript for compliance with these notes before submitting it for publication.
The Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation no longer
accepts manuscripts by e-mail. You must
go to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gscs and set up an author account. You will fill out information and be able to
upload and submit the manuscript there. You can log into your account at any
time and check the status of your submission.
if you like you
can set up author accounts for your co-authors which will allow them access to
the files related to this submission.
You should supply about five "Areas of
Interest", in order of relevance to for your manuscript. This will help us find an appropriate
reviewer.
Electronic submissions should be produced
using a standard program, such as MSWORD, POSTSCRIPT or PDF. If you have files
created in LaTeX, please convert these to POSTSCRIPT
or PDF before uploading. Each submission should be accompanied by a covering
letter containing the author's name, postal address, email
address, title of the paper and names of all co-authors.
Tutorials
Well-written and up-to-date tutorials in subjects of interests to readers of The
Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation are welcome.
Tutorials are not required to contain original research. Before submitting an unsolicited tutorial an
author should check with the editor.
Book Reviews
Books for review should be sent directly to the Book Reviews Editor:
Ram Shanmugam, Department of Health Services and Research, Southwest Texas
State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, Texas 78666-46115; Email:Ram.Shanmugam@txstate.edu.
General Guidelines
The Journal of Statistical
Computation and Simulation considers all
manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to The Journal of Statistical
Computation and Simulation, that they have not been published already,
and that they are not under consideration for publication or in press
elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged with
all costs which The Journal of Statistical
Computation and Simulation incurs and their papers will not
be published.
Contributions to Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation
must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees.
The Journal has no free colour pages within its annual page allowance. Authors
who propose publishing figures in colour should consult Taylor & Francis to
agree a financial contribution to additional colour reproduction costs. Figures
which appear in black-and-white in the print edition of the Journal will appear
in colour in the online edition, assuming colour originals are supplied.

Electronic Processing
We welcome figures sent electronically, but care and attention to these guidelines are essential as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
§ Avoid the use of colour and tints for purely aesthetic reasons.
§ Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
§ All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).
§ The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
§ Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Please note that it is in the author’s interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact our Production Department if you have any queries.
