Astronomy & Geophysics is a journal for the publication of serious scientific papers on a range of subjects within the remit of the Royal Astronomical Society: astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, planetary science, solar-terrestrial physics, global and regional geophysics and the history of these topics. Astronomy & Geophysics also focuses on topical items, reports of meetings, science in the news and acts as a forum for discussion of all matters of interest to professional astronomers and geophysicists. Astronomy & Geophysics is the House Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society and as such records the business of the Society and informs Fellows of Council matters. |

Instructions to Authors
Astronomy & Geophysics is a journal for the publication of serious scientific articles of interest to a broad range of astronomers and geophysicists. Contributions can take the form of Review Articles (up to 6000 words), Articles (up to 3500 words), News and Correspondence (up to 800 words). Articles are subject to peer review; other contributions at reviewed at the Editor's discretion.
Papers
Articles and Review Articles cover any topic likely to be of interest to members of the RAS. You should introduce material at a level comprehensible to a graduate in the subject, but should not limit discussion to this level. Editorial policy is to encourage contributions of accuracy and scientific authority over a wide range of interest, with a topical slant where feasible. The Editor welcomes lively writing and a variety of personal styles, but reserves the right to reject material that is unsuitable.
Astronomy & Geophysics can provide rapid publication for topical articles: at the Editor's discretion, articles can be published within two months of submission. Such speedy publication depends on efficient response by authors and cannot be guaranteed. If a paper merits fast publication, author and editor depend on the goodwill of referees.
Format
It is helpful if articles can be provided in electronic form; we use Word 6. Other word processor formats, RTF, ASCII or text-only formats, TeX and LaTeX are also acceptable. If possible, use FTP to the directory /AandG in /pub at "earth.leeds.ac.uk". Whatever submission route is preferred, authors should avoid unneccessary formatting. All submissions should include two printed paper copies of the text and figures. Manuscripts must include a brief, informative abstract of about 150 words. The body of the text should be divided into sections as appropriate, without numbering. Use SI units where appropriate and explain acronyms as necessary. The edited text is faxed to authors for approval as page proofs; corrections and changes must be returned promptly. Titles and summaries are chosen at the Editor's discretion; authors' improvements are welcomed, but may not be appropriate.
Illustrations
Illustrations, both images and diagrams, are welcome; we prefer a small number of high quality illustrations. The Editor has discretion over which to accept: the main criteria are content and quality. Illustrations should be sent digitally in a vector file format, preferably TIF. Please do not embed files in the text but send them separately. Authors should also send labelled printed copies. Good quality prints or transparencies are also suitable. Number figures in sequence and label with the main author's name and the figure number. Give brief but informative figure captions. For a guide to digital illustrations see http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
References
References should follow the style of Monthly Notices of the RAS, giving abbreviated journal title and first and last page numbers. In the text, references should cite authors and date, using et al. for three or more authors. References to larger works such as books should include the page number. Authors alone are responsible for ensuring that their references are correct.
News and Letters
A&G News pieces are shorter items of topical interest, reports on major international meetings, summaries of advances in specialist fields and so on. Suggestions are welcome: please contact the Editor. A&G Views publishes letters of general interest and timely scientific correspondence. Letters may be edited for reasons of clarity and space.
Book, Video and Software Reviews are solicited by the Editor; suggestions are welcome. Comments on Web Pages suitable for review are also most welcome.
Obituaries
Obituaries of distinguished scientists are part of Astronomy & Geophysics. The choice of subjects is made by the RAS Council, commissioned by a Secretary, currently Professor Ian Howarth. Enquiries should be directed to him. Text and illustrations for Obituaries should be sent to the Editor in the ordinary way and page proofs will be sent to the author for approval. It is usual, although not necessary, to include a photograph in Astronomy & Geophysics Obituaries.
Submitting papers
All contributions should be submitted to the Editor:
Dr Sue Bowler Astronomy and Geophysics The School of Earth Sciences The University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT UK
Electronic submission is preferred: send disks or e-mail to s.bowler@earth.leeds.ac.uk. It is helpful if electronic submissions are accompanied by a completed file description form. Submission implies that the manuscript has not been previously published nor currently submitted for publication elsewhere. On acceptance of a manuscript, authors are required to transfer the copyright to Blackwell Science. It is the authors' responsibility to obtain and pay for permission to publish any copyright material.
A Copyright Assignment Form must be completed for all articles accepted for publication in the journal.
