| name | finman-internet-appendix |
| description | Use when deciding what belongs in a Financial Management (FM) internet appendix vs. the main paper, and how to organize it so each supplementary exhibit maps to a main-text claim. Structures supporting material; it does not establish results (finman-identification / finman-robustness) or finalize the data/code package (finman-submission). |
Internet Appendix (finman-internet-appendix)
When to trigger
- The main paper is bloated with secondary tables that crowd the headline result
- A referee asked for a check whose result is reassuring but not central to the story
- Variable-construction detail, sample screens, or derivations are too long for the main text
- You are about to submit and need the supplementary materials organized and labeled
The FM internet-appendix bar
FM's "people actually read" brand and its less weight on trivial robustness stance make the internet appendix a strategic tool, not a dumping ground. The main paper should carry only what a reader needs to be convinced; everything that is reassuring but not load-bearing belongs in the internet appendix. The discipline is traceability: every internet-appendix exhibit must map to a specific main-text claim or referee concern, and the main text must point to it where relevant. An appendix that is a disorganized pile of leftover tables undercuts the paper; one that is a clean, indexed companion makes the main paper lean and the author look in command of the evidence. (FM's exact archiving/hosting and data-and-code policy — 待核实 against the Wiley author guidelines at submission time.)
