- \section{Inclusion of supplementary material}
- \label{sec:Supplementary}
-
- Three types of supplementary material should be distinguished:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item{A regular appendix: lengthy equations or long tables are sometimes
- better put in an appendix in order not to interrupt the main flow of a paper.
- Appendices will appear in the final paper, on arXiv
- and on the cds record and should be considered integral
- part of a paper, and are thus to be reviewed like the rest of the paper.
- An example of an LHCb paper with an appendix is Ref.~\cite{LHCb-PAPER-2013-070}.
- }
- \item{Supplementary material for cds: plots or tables that
- would make the paper exceed the page limit or are
- not appropriate to include in the paper itself,
- but are desireable to be shown in public
- should be added to the paper drafts in an appendix, and
- removed from the paper before submitting to arXiv or the journal.
- See Appendix~\ref{sec:Supplementary-App} for further instructions.
- Examples are: comparison plots of the new result with older results,
- plots that illustrate cross-checks.
- An example of an LHCb paper with supplementary material for cds
- is Ref.~\cite{LHCb-PAPER-2013-035}.
- Supplementary material for cds cannot be referenced in the paper.
- Supplementary material should be included in the draft paper to be
- reviewed by the collaboration.
- }
- \item{Supplementary material for the paper. This is usually called ``supplemental material'', which distinguishes it from supplementary material for cds only. Most journals allow
- to submit files along with the paper that will not be part of the
- text of the article, but will be stored on the journal server.
- Examples are plain text files with numerical data corresponding to the plots
- in the paper.
- The supplemental material should be cited in the paper by including a reference
- which should say ``See supplemental material at [link] for [give brief description of material].''
- The journal will insert a specific link for [link]. The arXiv version will usually include the supplemental material as part of the paper and so should not contain the words ``at [link]''.
- Supplemental material should be included in the draft paper to be
- reviewed by the collaboration.
- An example of an LHCb paper with supplemental material
- is Ref.~\cite{LHCb-PAPER-2015-029}
