The published paper stays on the servers, however. Papers and code on our servers, will be freely and unrestrictedly available for anonymous ftp. Costs JSS will be free, in the sense that there is no charge for submission and no charge for subscription. Actually, there is no subscription. Hardcopy Everybody is free to download code and papers and to print them.
All submissions are electronic.
Papers should be submitted in an internet-friendly format. This could be HTML or Postscript . We prefer HTML , for instance as produced by LaTeX2HTML or RTF2HTML , or texi2html , with figures and formulas in either GIF or PS . Code should be readable, should have comments, and should not have hard-coded constants for particular applications or examples. We intend to be very critical here, because code has to work, has to be relatively pleasing to the eye, and has to be reasonably efficient.
