Since 1980 the American Physical Society has been accepting computer files from authors and using those files (``compuscripts'') in the preparation of their papers. In 1987 a research and development effort was launched to expand this service to include TeX-formatted compuscripts. We have been publishing TeX compuscripts since 1988.
Benefits to Author: Reduced Proofreading. Since final output is composed from virtually the same file that produced the manuscript, proofreading time can be reduced significantly.
How to Qualify: Use REVTeX or LaTeX Macros. The APS has developed a ``compuscript toolbox,'' which is composed of macros, a Physical Review Input Guide for TeX Author-Prepared Compuscripts, a Physical Review Style and Notation Guide , and complete instructions on how to prepare a manuscript for the Physical Review.
Which Journals are Participants? Papers submitted to Physical Review A, B, C, D, E, or Letters may qualify.
Media for Compuscripts. We can process files received via electronic mail or on DOS-formatted floppy disk.
How to Participate. Make the original submission of your REVTeX compuscript to the Editorial Offices via electronic mail or DOS-formatted floppy disk. We will contact you to confirm file qualification. During the review process, resubmit in one of the electronic modes; do not resubmit by conventional means.
