Copyright, Page Charges and Offprints

Following the acceptance of papers in for publication in IMS journals, the IMS Executive Director will contact authors regarding copyright transfers, page funding and paper offprints.

Copyright

All authors are required to submit a signed copyright transfer form. The IMS must receive the signed Agreement before the manuscript can be scheduled for publication.

Page Charges

Payment of some or all of the estimated page charges associated with an article is voluntary. The editorial review of articles and administration of page charges are separate activities. Manuscripts are reviewed and accepted prior to soliciting page charges.

IMS encourages authors to apply unused grant money for page charges. Funds from page charges go to support IMS journals directly by allowing the to IMS keep subscription prices low, provide open electronic access to some journals, and to archive most journal articles in an open access repository ArXiv. Page charges are billed at $45 per page.
