Data Protection. By submitting a manuscript to or reviewing for this publication, your name, email address, and affiliation, and other contact details the publication might require, will be used for the regular operations of the publication, including, when necessary, sharing with the publisher (Wiley) and partners for production and publication. The publication and the publisher recognize the importance of protecting the personal information collected from users in the operation of these services, and have practices in place to ensure that steps are taken to maintain the security, integrity, and privacy of the personal data collected and processed. You can learn more at https://authorservices.wiley.com/statements/data-protection-policy.html.
Submission of a manuscript will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere at the same time.
All papers must be submitted via the ScholarOne Manuscripts (formerly known as Manuscript Central) online submission and peer review system at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/stat
The language of the journal is English. Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.
Articles must be a maximum length of 10 pages (excluding references, figures, tables and other forms of exhibit, but including text in appendices). Articles that exceed this page length will be rejected. See below for submission of Supporting Information.
Any articles that have been rejected will not be eligible for resubmission.
Templates. Please use one of the templates provided for submission. This is important, for gauging the page length of your article. YOUR PAPER WILL BE UNSUBMITTED IF A TEMPLATE IS NOT USED.See the ‘More from this journal’ section for links to the Word and LaTeX templates.
During the submission process you must enter the full title, short title of up to 70 characters and names and affiliations of all authors. Give the full address, including email, telephone and fax, of the author who is to check the proofs.
Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s).
Enter an abstract of up to 200 words for all articles. An abstract is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work. Also enter five or six keywords or key phrases from the list of keywords on the ScholarOne site, arranged in alphabetical order, to describe the content of the paper.
File Types. Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are .doc, .rtf, .ppt, .xls. LaTeX files may be submitted provided that an .eps or .pdf file is provided in addition to the source files. Figures may be provided in .tiff or .eps format.
Illustrations. Upload each figure as a separate file in either .tiff or .eps format, with the lead author's name, the figure number and the top of the figure indicated. Compound figures e.g. 1a, b, c should be uploaded as one figure. Tints are not acceptable. Lettering must be of a reasonable size that would still be clearly legible upon reduction, and consistent within each figure and set of figures. Where a key to symbols is required, please include this in the artwork itself, not in the figure legend. All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution:
• Black and white and colour photos - 300 dpi
• Graphs, drawings, etc - 800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum
• Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and colour) - 500 dpi
All illustrations (and tables) should be referred to sequentially in the text. Illustrations will be reproduced in colour online free of charge.
References. References should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). This means in text citations should follow the author-date method whereby the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998). The complete reference list should appear alphabetically by name at the end of the paper.
A sample of the most common entries in reference lists appears below. Please note that a DOI should be provided for all references where available. For more information about APA referencing style, please refer to the APA FAQ. Please note that for journal articles, issue numbers are not included unless each issue in the volume begins with page one.

Supporting Information. Supporting Information that is referred to in the text of the article may be made available alongside the article and so is in addition to the 10 page allowance. This might include detailed proofs, additional tables and figures, appendices, computer code, software scripts (e.g. R scripts, MATLAB, FAS scripts, etc.), datasets and movie files. Guidelines for the preparation of Supporting Information are available here. Any supporting information should be listed after the references, with the opening statement: 'Supporting Information: Additional information for this article is available' followed by brief captions for the Appendices/Figs/Tables that are included. These should be numbered Appendix S1, Fig. S1, Table S1, etc. Supporting Information should include a list of references for any literature referred to therein, to make it a self-contained piece of work. This may mean duplicating references if any literature is cited in both the main text and the Supporting Information.
All Supporting Information should be submitted as part of the main manuscript via the ScholarOne Manuscripts system. Please name your supporting files as ‘Supporting Information' and upload them with the main document. This allows the submission system to combine all the relevant files together but keep them separate when it comes to publication stage. NB: the 'Supporting information' files can be named as 'for review' or 'not for review', depending on their content. In either case, the files will be accessible to the editor/reviewers if they wish to access them.
Data Policy
Stat expects that data supporting the results in the paper will be archived in an appropriate public repository. Whenever possible the scripts and other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper should also be publicly archived. Exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the editor for sensitive information such as human subject data or the location of endangered species. Authors are expected to provide a data accessibility statement, including a link to the repository they have used, to accompany their paper.
Visit re3data.org or fairsharing.org to help identify registered and certified data repositories relevant to your subject area.
Wiley journals require data to be cited in the same way as article, book, and web citations and authors are required to include data citations as part of their reference list.
More information about the Data Sharing Policy can be found here.
Visuanimation
Visuanimation is a term coined for visualization through animations, see Genton et al. (2015, Stat). It allows the embedding of animations in the paper itself and the storage of larger movies in the online supplemental material. Examples of statistics research projects using a variety of visuanimations range from exploratory data analysis of image data sets to spatio-temporal extreme event modelling, from multiscale analysis of classification methods to the study of the effects of a simulated explosive volcanic eruption and emulation of climate model output, from spatio-temporal wind roses to point processes on the sphere. The use of visuanimations in Stat papers is highly encouraged. Examples of Latex commands for visuanimations are provided in the Stat Latex class file.
