ApJ Letters Manuscript Length Calculator
	(Version 1.0)

This length calculator may be used by authors to determine if their AASTeX manuscripts fit within the ApJ Letters length limits. The ApJ Letters staff will use this same calculator when they check the length of the submitted manuscript. This estimation tool depends on consistent use of AASTeX; authors are strongly discouraged from defining custom markup with \newcommand or \def, particularly when suitable commands already exist within AASTeX. Manuscripts using non-standard LaTeX or not conforming to ApJL author guidelines may be returned to author to be revised using standard AASTeX/LaTeX.

Submissions of manuscripts in Word or RTF will use the Word Count feature available in MS Word to determine the word count.

The length limits for ApJ Letters manuscripts (applying to all new submissions beginning Oct 15, 2008) are:

• A word is defined as a white space delimited object and the manuscript length includes words in the figure captions, table titles and comments but not the data in the tables.
• The abstract length and the manuscript length word counts do not count the author list or subsequent affiliations as part of their limits.
• Multi-panel figures are limited to 9 panels per figure. Multi-panel figures must also be legible on a printed page. Figures that aren't legible must be broken into multiple figures.
• Tables longer than 50 rows will automatically be converted to the AAS Journal's machine readable table machine readable table format and moved online only.
• A machine readable table counts toward the total combined limit of figures and tables.

Follow these three steps to check your ApJL paper:

1. Upload your ms.tex file. Note that external tables or figures must be part of the uploaded file, e.g. no \input or \bibliography calls
   
   
   

2. Output verbosity:
   

   	Minimumal output. Basically Pass/Fail.
   	Full output. Useful for determining what was counted.

Manuscripts should be submitted to the EJP submission system

If you encounter problems with the calculator please email the ApJL office, apjletters at northwestern.edu for help.
