  • As an online-only journal, our articles are published as soon as they are ready, enabling swift dissemination across the astronomy community.
  • Authors can expand the reach of their work by posting preprints on repositories such as arXiv or their institutional equivalents, and sharing the published PDF through our free SharedIt initiative.
  • Our professional editorial team of PhD scientists makes all decisions and provides input on the structure, clarity and language of all articles, while our talented in-house art editors bring the figures to life visually.
