We are pleased to announce a new venue for rapid publication within the AAS Journals family. Starting on 2017 October 16th, we are welcoming submissions to the Research Notes of the AAS through our usual submission site (aas.msubmit.net).
The purpose of the Research Notes is to provide a home for short submissions that are not suitable for publication as a journal article, but are likely to be interesting or useful to members of our community. Appropriate submissions would include brief summaries of work in progress, comments and clarifications, null results, and timely reports of observations (such as the spectrum of a supernova), as well as results that would not traditionally merit a full paper (e.g., the discovery of a single unremarkable exoplanet, a spectrum of a meteor, or contributions to the monitoring of variable sources).
Published Notes will constitute a long term citable archive for professional use. They will be indexed by ADS and issued a DOI.
Submissions to the Research Notes should be short, less than a thousand words and no more than one accompanying figure or table (but not both). They will not be subject to peer review and will not be copy-edited. They will be subject to moderation by an editor to ensure appropriate content.
The scope statement for the Research Notes can be found at http://journals.aas.org/scope-rnaas.html.
