The IMS handles the collection of publication charges for the journals listed below. Payment of these charges is optional. If you choose to contribute, please complete the form as directed.
If you need an invoice for payment, please email ims@imstat.org. Be sure to include the transmittal number, author name(s), article title, invoice address, and invoice email in your request.
Description
Payment of some or all of the estimated publication charges associated with an article is voluntary. The editorial review of articles and administration of publication charges are separate activities. Manuscripts are reviewed and accepted prior to soliciting publication charges. IMS encourages authors to use available grant or institutional funds to contribute to publication charges. Funds from publication charges go to support IMS journals directly by allowing the IMS to keep subscription prices low and to provide open electronic access to some journals. Open access is granted on any gated access article for which full publication charges are paid.
