PUBLICATIONS OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA
Instructions for Authors
SUBMISSION
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts for online submission and peer review.
We recommend that you use the PASA template in Overleaf, an online writing tool that allows authors to easily format articles, collaborate with co-authors and submit directly into the ScholarOne Manuscripts system.
There is also a downloadable zip file containing the PASA LaTeX template for manuscript layout, if you prefer not to use Overleaf.
Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
SCOPE AND AUDIENCE
PASA publishes new and significant research in astronomy and astrophysics. PASA covers a wide range of topics within astronomy, including multi-wavelength observations, theoretical modelling, computational astronomy and visualisation. PASA also maintains its heritage of publishing results on southern hemisphere astronomy and on astronomy with Australian facilities.
PASA is aimed at a professional astronomy readership. Therefore, every article must contain new and interesting observations, theory or tools of relevance to the professional astronomy community. The application of established analysis methods does not, by itself, meet the standard required for publication in PASA; papers must report new or unusual phenomena, with robust insights of astrophysical importance. PASA will consider publication of white papers, provided they are expected to have significant impact as references for the astronomical community.
The journal is published continuously, paper by paper, as one volume per year.
PASA publishes research papers, review papers, and special series on topical issues, making use of expert international reviewers and an experienced Editorial Board. The journal does not publish letters to the editor or other submissions of a more journalistic style.
PASA offers a free data archiving service for code, catalogs or datasets.
This journal is compliant with Open Access policies. Please see the license options and embargo periods here. PASA's Editorial Board approve a certain number of papers per year to be published Open Access without a publication fee.

PUBLISHING ETHICS
PASA Code of Ethics.
PASA considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that
The manuscript is your own original work, and does not duplicate any other previously published work, including your own previously published work;
The manuscript has been submitted only to the journal - it is not under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or in press or published elsewhere;
All listed authors know of and agree to the manuscript being submitted to the journal; and
The manuscript contains nothing that is abusive, defamatory, fraudulent, illegal, libellous, or obscene.
Fabrication of data or selective reporting of data with the intent to mislead or deceive is unethical and unacceptable, as is the appropriation of data or research results from others without permission and attribution.
During manuscript submission, authors are required to disclose the nature of any competing and/or relevant financial interest. The statement should describe all potential sources of bias, including affiliations, funding sources, and financial or management relationships, that may constitute conflicts of interest.
The submitting author must provide contact information for all co-authors. The author who submits the manuscript for publication accepts the responsibility of notifying all co-authors that the manuscript is being submitted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Deletion of an author during the peer-review process requires a confirming letter to the Editor-in-Chief from the author whose name is being deleted. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after the manuscript is accepted.
Note that the journal uses CrossCheck / iThenticate software to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to PASA you are agreeing to any necessary originality checks your paper may have to undergo during the peer review and production processes.
The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board will collaborate with Cambridge University Press using the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics in cases of allegations of research errors; authorship complaints; multiple or concurrent (simultaneous) submission; plagiarism complaints; research results misappropriation; reviewer bias; and undisclosed conflicts of interest.
REVIEW STYLE AND PROCESS
PASA authors may elect a single or dual anonymous review process, where reviewers may or may not see the author names and affiliations. Differences in the submission process are outlined at the base of this page.
