Author Discounts on AAS Journal Papers
As a member of the AAS who renews (or joins) during the Society's annual renewal drive from early September through December, you are eligible to receive a 15% discount the following year on your share of the author charges for one paper published in an AAS journal, i.e., the Astronomical Journal, the Astrophysical Journal, Letters, or Supplement, or the Planetary Science Journal.
If you choose to renew for two years, you will receive another 15% discount the second year. For example, if you renew your 2024 membership before 1 January 2024 for two years, you will receive a 15% discount on your share of author charges for one paper published in 2024 and one paper published in 2025.
Here's how you claim this valuable discount:
- When submitting your manuscript, verify that you have paid your membership dues in the Financial Information step. When you click on Financial Information, the following text will display:
