  1. AASTeX and the challenges of publishing in an increasingly interactive environment Greg Schwarz AAS Journals Data Editor LISA VIII Strasbourg June 9, 2017

  2. Timeline • 1978: TeX created by Donald E. Knuth. • 1985: LaTeX created by Leslie Lamport. • 1989: Hanisch & Biemesderfer write the first macros for AAS publishing. • 1995: • AASTeX v5.0 upgraded to LaTeX 2e by Arthur Ogawa. • ApJ Letters HTML published. • 1996: • Proto-emulateapj released by Maxim Markevitch. • Main ApJ and supplements HTML published. • 1997: emulateapj upgraded and maintained by Alexey Vikhlinin. • 1998: AJ HTML published. • 2000: Machine readable tables created. • 2005: • AASTeX v5.2 released. • Figure sets created. • 2010: Data behind the Figure created. • 2016: • AASTeX v6.0 written by Amy Hendrickson. • ePub version of articles available.

  3. New AASTex features • Based on emulateapj. • Front end changes. • Watermarking. • Author/affiliation/collaboration upgrades. • Front matter truncation. • Two new author revision mark up styles. • New Figure commads. • Figure set mark up. • Support for figures consisting of multiple files. • Table features. • Automatic column numbering. • Math mode in designated columns. • Hide columns. • Decimal alignment. • Splitting wide tables. • Improved software citation/highlighting methods • Upgraded bst file for creating 1st class references with bibtex. • \software mark up to highlight software

  4. Large author list management \author[ORCID]{} \affiliation{} \altaffiliation{} \collaboration{} \AuthorCallLimit=1 \allauthors

  5. Author revision mark up \documentclass[trackchanges,linenumbers]{aastex6} • Tracking • \added{text} • \deleted{text} • \replaced{old}{new} • \explain{text}

  6. Collaborative manuscripts • Authorea (https://www.authorea.com/) • Overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com) • ShareLaTeX (https://www.sharelatex.com)

  7. Machine readable tables “MAIN BELT ASTEROIDS WITH WISE/NEOWISE. I. PRELIMINARY ALBEDOS AND DIAMETERS” Masiero et al. 2011 ApJ, 741, 68

  8. Figure Sets “K2 ROTATION PERIODS FOR LOW-MASS HYADS AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR GYROCHRONOLOGY” Douglas et al. 2016, ApJ, 822, 1

  9. Figure sets \figsetstart \figsetnum{figurenumber} \figsettitle{figure set title} \figsetgrpstart \figsetgrpnum{figurenumber.1} \figsetgrptitle{image 1 caption} \figsetplot{figure set file} \figsetgrpnote{image 1 caption} \figsetgrpend Repeat the block above for each figure panel in the set \figsetend http://authortools.aas.org/FIGSETS/make-figset.html

  10. Data behind the Figure (DbF) “HIGH ECLIPTIC LATITUDE SURVEY FOR SMALL MAIN-BELT ASTEROIDS” Terai et al. 2013, AJ, 146, 5

  11. Interactive Figures & Streaming video

  12. External Repository Support • Use DOI-issuing, external repositories for data that can not be held with the article, e.g. • very large files, • complex data sets, • Scripts or static “frozen” software packages, and • I/O from software. • Recommended repositories are: • Now: Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomical Research (CANFAR), Zenodo, Figshare, Harvard Dataverse • Future: Astrolabe, a joint AAS-University of Arizona project. https://github.com/AASJournals/Tutorials/tree/master/Repositories Use the AASTeX v6 command \dataset to highlight these external repositories, e.g. \dataset{http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15991}.

  13. MAST project (IDing)

  14. Data review • “Easy” data to capture for DbFs. • Encourage following of the software policy. • Check for supplementary data not optimally stored. • Check that animations meet new streaming capabilities and remind authors that this functionality exists. • Suggest better ways to set up an article (and potentially save publication charges)

  15. Future • More data included due to national data access policies and normalization of data sharing. • Better collection of meta-data. • Easier generation of interactive figures. • HTML proofing. • Different ways to write manuscripts, e.g. Jupyter notebooks?
