AAS 239 Exhibitor Presentation: The AAS Journals Publication Process

You’ve toiled for months over your LaTeX editor, cajoled your co-authors for figures, begged your advisor to give you feedback, and finally, you’re ready to submit your masterpiece to ApJ. You upload all your source files to the eJournal Press website and click the submit button.

What happens next? In this presentation, AAS journals Science Editor Brian Jackson (Associate Professor at Boise State University) will discuss the publication process for the AAS journals and answer your questions: How are referees chosen to review papers? If I’m chosen to review, what kind of feedback is the most useful? If I’m supposed to receive my referee report in three weeks, why did it take six weeks? What is “double-anonymous review”, and how does it work?

The presentation will be held on Tuesday, 11 January, from 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm MT in the Exhibitor Theater.
