The Open Journal of Astrophysics – Update
Well, it was a bit fiddly importing the legacy papers from the earlier version of the Open Journal of Astrophysics website to the new platform, but I managed to do it this afternoon as planned. The result looks rather nice, I think,
The only things left to do now are (a) to train the members of the Editorial Board on how to handle the workflow through the journal site and (b) to open up for submission of new papers. Both these steps should be trivial so we’re definitely entering the final stages of this project. There is an event at Maynooth University Library next Tuesday afternoon at which I am doing a talk about Open Science. This will represent the official launch of the Open Journal of Astrophysics.
All we will need then is for people to submit some papers!

This would be the “good news” to which you referred about a month ago here? If so then it certainly is. I wish OJA every success.

I didn’t even realize there was an RSS feed! I may be able to alter it when I figure it out.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to include a link to the new Latex template before we open for submissions!

Phillip, one of the iniquitous things about paper publishers is that they got us to do our own typesetting as soon as that went electronic (and still jacked their prices up). No more!

We will accept submission via the arXiv in any format, but the final published version must be in our Latex style.

P.S. We will not undertake copy-editing for authors but will not accept papers written in very poor English. We will refer any papers in that state to a third-party company (:-))for copy-editing at the authors’ expense if a paper seems interesting but needs a lot of work to bring it into shape.

Why must there be a house style if everybody knows what the author means?
