Electronic manuscripts and figures should be submitted by ftp to pasp.phys.uvic.ca (142.104.61.36), login paspftp, password submit-pasp (log in to the incoming directory). A subdirectory must be created, i.e., mkdir , where name should be unique (last name + first initial of your name, for example). Change directory to the subdirectory you have made (cd ). This is a very important step: all files must be downloaded into the subdirectory incoming/. Use appropriate ftp commands to transfer your files, being sure to transfer all files as ASCII, unless they are compressed. For complete instructions see http://pasp.phys.uvic.ca/paspems.html.
All hard-copy manuscripts that deal with instrumentation and/or data analysis should be submitted to the Victoria office only.
Proofs and all correspondence relating to papers that have been accepted for publication should be sent to:
Stephanie Norfleet
Production Controller

2. General Manuscript Requirements
Manuscripts must include a brief abstract that clearly states the principal conclusions of the paper. The parts of the manuscripts should be arranged in the following order:
Title page (including complete postal and email addresses for each author)
Abstract (followed by one to five key words)
Text
Appendices (optional)
References
Figure legends
Tables
Figures
Key words are mandatory and may be found at http://pasp.phys.uvic.ca/keywords.html. Key words are not printed in the journal but are used for indexing purposes. Tables that are not submitted electronically will be keyboarded and must be submitted double spaced. No tables will be reproduced photographically. Any special instructions regarding layout or sizing of art should be included with the original submission in a cover letter or README file.
3. Electronic Manuscripts
LaTeX manuscripts submitted electronically should be formatted using the AASTeX macro package (version 5 or later is preferred). The package is available from the AASTeX homepage. Manuscripts should be formatted with the MANUSCRIPT style in AASTeX, not the PREPRINT style.
4. Paper Manuscripts
Paper manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate and printed fully double spaced on one side of a page only. Text must be typed or computer printed. Each submission should include at least one separate set of original laser-printed figures in camera-ready form, plus a set in each paper copy of the manuscript. Figures should be clearly numbered on the front. Authors of paper manuscripts are encouraged to submit electronic figures and tables.
5. Illustrations
In preparing illustrations it is useful to keep in mind the dimensions of the printed column, or page, on which they must eventually fit and proportion them accordingly; whenever possible they should be planned for reproduction on one-column width. Illustrations should be of a size that will not require reduction to less than 35% of the original size. All lines, characters, and symbols should be large enough to reproduce well after reduction; specifically, lines should be at least one point in weight, preferably heavier. Do not use any "hairline" line settings.
Electronic figures are acceptable in PostScript (PS) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format only. Each figure should be submitted as a separate file, with file names following the pattern fg1.eps, fg2a.ps, etc., and every figure must print on a laser printer. Do not format several PS or EPS files into one file; do not embed PS or EPS files into the manuscript. Leave page numbers, figure numbers, file information, and so on, out of files. Place letter tags, when they are necessary, inside the box of the figure. No text should appear on the top axis outside the figure box unless it is an independent axis label. Be sure all lines will remain larger than one-half point when reduced up to 35%. Do not use color in files that are not intended to be reproduced as color figures. Use only standard PS fonts and embed all fonts in the file.
Figures that are intended for reproduction as four-color figures should be prepared as CMYK (i.e., four-color) files. RGB (i.e., three-color) files are less desireable, and will have to be converted to CMYK files for printing. Optimum resolution for CMYK files is 300 dpi. CMYK EPS files created with PhotoShop seem to produce the best results. Authors should submit a hard copy of the figure that represents how the colors should look. Reproduction of color figures carries an extra charge; the University of Chicago production office can give an estimate upon request.
When preparing gray-scale figures, use gray levels between 20% and 80%, with at least 20% difference between the levels of gray. Use a screen of 80 lpi or lower (coarser) and make the figures as close to final publication size as possible, since reduction can cause levels of gray to drop out. Whenever possible, use different patterns of hatching instead of grays to differentiate between areas of a figure.
The following operators cannot be used in EPS files. PS files are converted to EPS files for importing to the typesetting system, so these operators should be avoided in PS files:
|
banddevice |
framedevice |
|
renderbands |
clear |
|
grestoreall |
setglobal |
|
cleardictstack |
initclip |
|
setpagedevice |
copypage |
|
initgraphics* |
initmatrix* |
|
erasepage |
setshared |
|
startjob |
exitserver |
|
quit |
|
*These operators are used frequently in the PS and EPS files we receive.
If operators cannot be avoided, the file will be converted to bitmapped EPS, which may result in lower quality reproduction or may be unusable in the typesetting system (especially if the file comes from a TeX or LaTeX file that has been printed to a PS file using dvips), in which case the figure will have to be scanned.
See http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/PASP/ for further guidelines.
Authors unable to submit figures in PS or EPS format should mail in high-resolution laser-printed original figures. Photographs that will require halftone reproduction should be glossy prints in good focus and of the best possible contrast.
6. References
The accuracy of the references is the sole responsibility of the author(s), and care should be taken that each literature citation in the manuscript has its counterpart in the reference list, with the exception of private communications, and vice versa. Reference citations should give the last name of the author(s) and the date of publication. Reference list entries should be ordered alphabetically, starting with the last name of the first author, followed by the first author's initial(s), and similarly for each additional author. Multiple entries for one author or group of authors should be ordered chronologically. Additional information concerning reference style may be found at http://pasp.phys.uvic.ca/paspems.html.
7. Tables
All tables are typeset with horizontal rules only; no vertical rules are used. Tables should have concise titles; every column must have its own heading. Secondary information should be incorporated in a note to the table. Column headings label the entries in the column and should consist of one or two words, with the first letter of each word capitalized. Units of measurement should be placed in parentheses immediately below the column headings, not in the body of the table. In the body of the table numerical values less than unity should always be written with a zero preceding the decimal pont. To indicate the omission of an entry, ellipsis dots, i.e., , are used. Column heads should have a double rule above and a single rule below, and the table should have a single rule at the bottom of the last page. Tables in the text should be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals and must be cited in text by number, e.g., "see Table 3." Tables in an appendix may be numbered in the same sequence as the text tables or may begin a new sequence, e.g., Table 9 or Table A1. Complete entries for all papers cited in tables should be given in the reference section at the end of the paper, not in a separate list accompanying the table.
8. Proofs
Proofs of the typeset article will be posted on the University of Chicago Press proof server. The author will be notified by electronic mail that proofs are available and given instructions on how to retrieve them. Authors unable or unwilling to retrieve their proofs via the WWW should inform the editorial office upon submission and provide an express courier address to which proofs will be sent. Proofs must be corrected within 48 hours. Authors may send their corrections by electronic mail (snorfleet@press.uchicago.edu), fax (773-753-0827), or in hard copy to the address given in the cover letter.
9. Reprints
Reprints can be purchased at an additional cost. The minimum order is 50, and no free reprints are supplied.
10. Page Charges
