Sending your file to the publisher

After the paper has been accepted and on the request of the Editor-in-Chief, you should send your paper files to the publisher. You need to prepare:

• The final manuscript *.tex file by removing the referee option.
• The figure files as separated files.
• Any additional stylefiles needed.
• The PDF file in printer format.

You will receive by e-mail your access codes, which allow you to send these files to the publisher by uploading them at the production online system SAGA

http://saga.edpsciences.org/?lang=en

Once you are connected, you should follow the instructions given.

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 cats@cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr, 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.

Page proofs

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.

Offprints

The corresponding authors will receive the PDF file of their article at no charge as soon as it is published.

Paper offprints may be ordered at cost. The offprint order form must be returned with the corrected proofs. Paper offprints have a color cover that includes the article’s title and the authors’ names.
See an example of an offprint with a cover.

Paper 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.
