Do you use collaborative document preparation software like Authorea or Overleaf? If so, submitting to AAS journals just got easier. Both systems are now partnered with the American Astronomical Society so that you can directly submit to AAS journals from within Authorea or Overleaf.
What Are Authorea and Overleaf?

Authoring tools like Authorea and Overleaf make jointly preparing a scientific document online easier. [Overleaf]
For more information on how Authorea or Overleaf can be used for scientific manuscript preparation, you can check out this Authorea demo of “The ‘Paper’ of the Future” led by Alyssa Goodman (Harvard University), or read up on Overleaf’s benefits for writing and collaborating.
What Does This Partnership Mean?
The partnership between the AAS and Authorea and Overleaf is intended to make life easier for AAS authors who work with these collaborative authoring tools and wish to submit their article to AAS journals when the manuscript is complete.
For initial submissions to all AAS Journals — The Astronomical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal Supplements, The Astrophysical Journal Letters, and Research Notes of the AAS — authors can now submit their LaTeX manuscript and all their figures directly from Authorea or Overleaf to the AAS journal peer-review system when the files are complete. The direct submission from Authorea or Overleaf will also pre-populate the submission forms with some of the metadata, reducing the information that the authors will need to enter by hand when they go to the peer-review system to complete the submission process.
What Else Should You Know?
