Authors may submit a paper on the understanding that the work has not been published before and has been read and approved by all authors. The submission of a manuscript by the authors implies that the authors automatically agree to assign exclusive copyright to Dixie W Publishing Corporation if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication.

All manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief. The preferred method of submission is to submit manuscripts by e-mailing the PDF, Postscript, or LaTeX files to khans@usq.edu.au or to  eic-japs@dixiewpublishing.com. Authors who prefer to submit hard copy should post four copies of their manuscripts to:

  Authors of accepted papers are required to sign a copyright transfer form. Page charges must be paid prior to the publication of the accepted paper.
   

• Page Charges
  The Journal of Applied Probability and Statistics currently charges USD$20.00 per page to cover its production cost. This is normally payable on the acceptance of the revised manuscript. In special circumstances, the Chief Editor reserves the right to waive the page charges.
