The Journal of Computational Astronomy & Astronomical Computing is open to accept well written papers that fit within the scope of the journal. Each manuscript, whether in the form of a review or research paper, must comply with the following requirements:
The manuscript must adhere to one of the two JCAAC available templates:
Manuscript must be submitted via email to ..., in a tar or zip file containing all files necessary to build the manuscript. Alternatively, users of Overleaf may want to share their documents with the editors instead of sending the material via email.
A short letter of motivation must accompany the submission email, with a statement on the main ideas that led the author(s) to design and complete the work, and to submit it to JCAAC. Please provide a tentative section for the manuscript.
Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by one or more qualified referees from the JAAC staff, who will make comments. The refereed version will be accepted, or else returned to the authors so they may take the appropriate action and resubmit the paper. Manuscripts deemed not to be suitable for the journal will be rejected.
The Journal of Computational Astronomy & Astronomical Computing is an effort by the FAAE - Grupo de Cálculo Astronómico (GCA) to encourage the use of software tools and the development of codes and algorithms for astronomical applications within the framework of amateur astronomy, as well as to connect the amateur community with the professional astronomy community and promote cross-collaboration and ProAm projects between both groups.
