We should not be citing things as "in press". That's not something anyone can find, so it's useless in doc. If there's an arXiv preprint we can cite that.

@Franzi2114 is there a preprint available?

I think one reference is enough, at least for now. You could add the reference to the derivatives:

Raphael Hartmann and Karl Christoph Klauer. 2021. Partial derivatives for the first-passage time distribution in Wiener diffusion models. Journal of Mathematical Psychology.

@article{hartmann2021partial,
  title={Partial derivatives for the first-passage time distribution in {W}iener diffusion models},
  author={Hartmann, Raphael and Klauer, Karl Christoph},
  journal={Journal of Mathematical Psychology},
  volume={103},
  pages={102550},

}

No, there is no preprint available. I hope that it will be published soon. All proofs are already done.

I'll remove it for now. Let us know when it is available and we will add the citation then

Thanks, @Franzi2114 and good luck getting the paper out---I know how frustrating this is. Do they not let you put up arXiv versions in the interim? We could cite that.
