About the journal
Stochastics: An International Journal of Probability and Stochastic Processes (formerly Stochastics and Stochastics Reports) is concerned with stochastic processes and their applications in the modelling, analysis and optimization of stochastic systems, i.e. processes characterized both by temporal or spatial evolution and by the presence of random effects.
Articles are published dealing with all aspects of stochastic systems analysis, characterization problems, stochastic modelling and identification, optimization, filtering and control and with related questions in the theory of stochastic processes. Also solicited are articles dealing with significant applications of stochastic process theory to problems in engineering systems, the physical and life sciences, economics and other areas.
In recent years there has been a growing interaction between current research in probability theory and problems in stochastic systems. The objective of Stochastics is to encourage this trend, promoting an awareness of the latest theoretical developments on the one hand and of mathematical problems arising in applications on the other.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
Abstracting & Indexing
Stochastics is abstracted and indexed in: Astrophysics Data System; British Library Inside and Current Index to Statistics; EBSCO Databases. Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet; New Jour; SciBase; Science Citation Index Expanded; Statistical Theory and Method Abstracts - Zentralblatt; Zentralblatt MATH/Mathematics Abstracts and Zetoc.
Instructions to Authors
The instructions below are specifically directed at authors that wish to submit a manuscript to Stochastics. More general information regarding publishing with Taylor & Francis can be found in the Publish with Us section of our website and in the Taylor & Francis Authors' Charter.
Stochastics considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Stochastics, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere.
Contributions to Stochastics must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.
Manuscript Preparation
1. General Guidelines
Papers written in English are preferred, but French and German manuscripts will be accepted if an English summary of 200-300 words is also supplied. British English spelling and punctuation is preferred.
Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: main text; acknowledgments; appendices (as appropriate); references.
Abstracts of 100-150 words are required for all papers submitted.
Each paper should have 3-6 keywords. In addition to keywords, authors are encouraged to provide 2-6 AMS 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification codes.
Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections.
One author should be identified as the corresponding author.
Biographical notes on contributors are not required for this journal.
For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms should not be used.
Authors must adhere to SI units. Units are not italicised.
When using a word that is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark, authors must use the symbol ® or TM.

3. Figures
We welcome figures sent electronically, but care and attention to these guidelines are essential as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
Figures must be saved individually and separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
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)).
Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
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.
4. Colour
The Journal has no free colour pages within its annual page allowance. Authors of accepted papers who propose publishing figures in colour in the print version should consult Taylor & Francis at proof stage to agree a financial contribution to 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.
5. Reproduction of copyright material
As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as 'derivative reproduction', where the contributor has created a new figure or table that derives substantially from a copyrighted source. Authors are themselves responsible for the payment of any permission fees required by the copyright owner. Copies of permission letters should be sent with the manuscript upon submission to the Editor(s).

6. Supplementary online material
Authors are welcome to submit animations, movie files, sound files or any additional information for online publication.
Information about supplementary online material
Manuscript Submission
All submissions should be made online at Stochastics' Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Center.
Manuscripts may be submitted in any standard format, including Word, PostScript and PDF. These files will be automatically converted into a PDF file for the review process. LaTeX files should be converted to PDF prior to submission because Manuscript Central is not able to convert LaTeX files into PDFs directly and this PDF should be uploaded as the main document.The original LaTeX files should also be uploaded as supplementary data.
This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
Please contact the Administrator at H.M.Cooper@warwick.ac.uk in case of any queries.
Copyright and authors' rights
It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Taylor & Francis Ltd.

Reprints
Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com). Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk.
Page charges
There are no page charges to individuals or institutions.
iOpenAccess
Authors whose manuscripts have been accepted for publication have the option to pay a one-off fee to make their article free to read online via the Stochastics website. Choosing this option also allows authors to post their article in an institutional or subject repository immediately upon publication.
