file submittal specifications.
Original submissions to the editorial offices can be made via conventional mail or electronic mail. Both methods are described below. Conventional mail submission is described, unless otherwise specified.
When the REVTEX compuscript is ready to go, it should should be submitted to the Editorial Offices in conformance with the printed procedures in the first issue of each volume of Physical Review A, B, C, and D. The following procedures are those unique to compuscript processing.
It should be stated in the communication accompanying the manuscript
that the paper is to be considered as a
TEX-formatted author-prepared compuscript and the preference
for file medium (floppy, e-mail, tape). See Sec. for detailed
file submittal specifications.
The manuscript will go through the usual refereeing process and normal editorial functions. Frequently there are manuscript changes needed in response to referee and editor questions/suggestions. All such changes should be indicated in the correspondence that accompanies a revised manuscript and/or file.
It is very important that no undocumented changes be made to the file after the manuscript has been sent to the editor's office. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized. Publication delays will be experienced if there are any discrepancies, however minor they may be, between the compuscript file and the manuscript that has been given to the editor's office.
