Submitting to Electronic Journal of Probability goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Electronic Journal of Probability guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Electronic Journal of Probability. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Electronic Journal of Probability journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Electronic Journal of Probability guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Electronic Journal of Probability guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through the journal's submission system.
| Element | Electronic J Probab requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | No word limit specified in the official guidelines. Abstracts are unstructured. The guidelines state that abstracts should be accessible to a wide audience but do not impose a specific word limit or structured format requirement |
| Main text | No overall word limit is stated. However, papers less than 12 pages should be submitted to the sister journal Electronic Communications in Probability (ECP) instead of EJP, as EJP is intended for longer research articles. No specific section order requirements are stated |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Keywords are required (separated by semicolons in the LaTeX template). No specific count or range is stated in the guidelines, but the sample template shows 4-5 keywords as typical. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) codes are also required |
| References | Numbered reference style using author-date format with journal names in italics. The template uses amsplain bibliography style (based on sample.tex). References include MR numbers (Mathematical Reviews) links. Authors can use the BatchMRef service to make bibliographies clickable |
| Peer review | - The editorial policies state that 'papers will be refereed in the usual way' following 'traditional conventions,' but the specific peer review model (single-blind, double-blind, etc.) is not explicitly stated on the official guidelines or editorial policy pages |
| Submission | www.e-publications.org/ims/submission/ |
Read the Electronic Journal of Probability guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Electronic Journal of Probability in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Electronic J Probab papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Electronic Journal of Probability journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Electronic Journal of Probability guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
