Sending your file to the publisher | PDF files of forthcoming papers | Page proofs | Offprints Sending your file to the publisher After the paper has been accepted and upon request from the Editor-in-Chief, you will send the paper's files to the publisher.
You can then send the files in one of the 3 ways indicated below:
Tables made available in electronic form at the CDS should be prepared according to the conventions indicated above and detailed at http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/submit/; they should be sent to the CDS upon acceptance of the paper, preferably using the submission form proposed on the CDS web site. Alternatively the tabular material can be sent by e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or by ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr.
The electronic versions of the tables are systematically checked for their consistency at the CDS, and the author may have to communicate with the CDS about missing descriptions or detected inconsistencies.
PDF files of forthcoming papers
A&A now gives online access to unedited preprint versions of accepted papers several weeks ahead of publication, on authors' consent. This service is free of charge for authors.
The authors' permission is requested by MMS at the time of submission. The PDF file is produced by the publisher from the LaTeX file sent by the author and is released if the final size is less than 3 Mbytes without any conversion problems. This online version does not take into account corrections made during copy-editing and production processes. Online access to PDF versions of forthcoming papers is granted to all A&A subscribers.
For all papers, except Letters, page proofs will be sent to the authors by e-mail (PDF file). Please note that corrections should be restricted to typographical errors; fees for extensive additional changes will be charged to the author. Where absolutely essential, the addition of a "Note added in proof" will be considered and, if accepted, will appear at the end of the paper, following the reference list.
For each article, 10 offprints are supplied free of charge, regardless of the number of authors.
To highlight your work, the supplementary offprints now possess a cover in colour, similar to that of the journal, resuming the title and name of the authors of the article. Please note that if you do not order additional reprints, then the 10 reprints free of charge will be provided without a cover. However, it is possible to obtain these 10 offprints with a cover for an additional fee (170 Euros). If you order additional copies, all the offprints will include a cover. Only multiples of 50 are accepted. See an example of an offprint with a cover. Offprints are available at the prices listed in the table, provided the order is received at the same time as the corrected proofs. The offprint order form must be filled out and returned with the corrected proofs.
