Session B34: Author Workshop: Submitting to the APS Journals

Submitting to the APS Journals

This session will contain a short presentation of policies, practices and general advice for authors submitting to APS journals. For both the Physical Review and Physical Review Letters, it will focus on such things as the importance of a properly written introduction; our current drive for increased accessibility in the Phys. Rev. journals; how a well written cover letter and how suggesting referees will aid your manuscript in the review process. We shall also discuss responding to referees and offer advice on resubmitting your manuscript. In addition there will be information on technical details such as web submission and the Author Status Information Service (ASIS). The presentation will then be followed by a moderated panel discussion, where editors from PRL, PRB and PRE will answer questions from the audience on author issues.
