3. New A&A Policy on Paper Length
|
|
The A&A Board of Directors, together with the A&A Editors, has recently decided to implement publication costs for papers exceeding a size limit, effective for papers submitted to A&A from 2 April 2025. Any authors wishing to exceed the page cap for their regular paper (main body or appendices) or Letter (appendices only) will need to pay a page charge that supports the additional costs associated with the longer format. Page charges will be tiered, reflecting the additional support already provided by sponsoring countries and subscribing institutions. For more details, follow this link.
