steps to submission
|
The following steps should be completed when submitting a paper to a journal.
This assumes that one week has passed since the announcement and abstract
to the other RHIC collaborations, and that Collaboration management has
approved the submission:
- Update your LaTeX file with the latest versions of the
author list and
acknowledgements.
- Look up the relevant
PACS code(s)
for your manuscript and update your LaTeX file with these. At the very least,
the PACS code 25.75.-q ("Relativistic heavy-ion collisions") probably
applies to most STAR papers.
- Submit the LaTeX file and figures to the
arXiv.org e-Print archive (instructions).
If you haven't registered previously with arXiv, you will need to do so (register).
Papers submitted on weekdays before 4:00 p.m. EST/EDT will be available to the
public after 8:00 p.m. and included in the next weekday's morning
announcement.
Note: When submitting the e-Print, please copy the full author list
and paste to the Author(s) form field.
- Submit the manuscript to the journal. Extensive guides exist for each
journal:
- Submit the paper title, e-Print, and journal information to
starweb (submit item),
necessary for getting the paper into the publications database and announcing
its submission on our website.

the journal review process
|
If you are the submitting author and contact person for a STAR paper that is
being reviewed by a journal, there are a couple guidelines to follow:
- Based on STAR's publication policy, referees' reports should be forwarded
to starpapers
(e-mail) upon receipt. When
follow-up is required, the principal author(s) and GPC should distribute their
response to the referees and the revised manuscript to the collaboration
(again on
starpapers) prior to resubmission. The Spokesperson will provide guidance
in the process and will
adjudicate any conflicts.
- Also, it is good practice to update the paper's supporting documents page
on the web with referee reports, Collaboration responses, and updated versions
of the paper.

upon acceptance
|
Once the manuscript has been accepted and is in production, the data tables
for the figures should be made available.
