General description
The RMxAA publishes original research papers in all branches of astronomy, astrophysics, and related topics. Three issues are published annually, all of which are freely accessible digitally. All published volumes are maintained in a permanent collection, which is freely accessible and distributed to institutions and individuals involved in the fields covered by this journal. RMxAA does not charge authors for publishing their articles or for the peer-review process.
The RMxAA editorial policy is to refer all received articles to specialists in the field for review. Those interested in publishing in our journal should use our platform to submit a full version of their article in PDF format and the LaTeX file in the journal's macro, along with figures and a bibliography. These files must be accompanied by a cover letter. All papers must be prepared in English using the most recent version of the RMxAA LaTeX macro (available at GITHUB/OVERLEAF link). An "Abstract" and a "Resumen" in Spanish are required (the latter can be provided by the editors if necessary). Both should be 12 lines or less. One to six keywords from the list of international astronomy journals must also be included. Each table included in the text must be numbered and titled. Figures must be in PDF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF format, numbered, and include an explanatory legend. Each table and figure must be referenced in the text. Reference styles follow recent international astronomical standards (Bibtex). For more information on the RMxAA style, please refer to the example file included in the macros.
The RMxAA has been published under open access since its foundation, so all its content is freely accessible and at no cost to the user or their institution. Users are authorized to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of the articles in this journal (or to the figures and tables contained therein) without prior permission from the publisher or the author, in accordance with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of Open Access. Reuse of the works may be done for non-commercial purposes, provided that the author is acknowledged and the original source is indicated.
Aims & Scope
RMxAA publishes original research in all areas of astronomy and astrophysics, as well as in closely related topics. Submissions are assessed by an editor for fit with the journal’s aims and scope before peer review.
Journal Information
RMxAA is a triannual publication edited by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Ciudad Universitaria, Coyoacán, 04510 Mexico City, through the Institute of Astronomy.
Refereeing System
This journal follows a single-blind, external, peer review. The editor consults the Editorial Committee for suggestions of reviewers. The editor is the final authority to assign a reviewer, to accept or reject a manuscript and is responsible for all material published in the journal. Decisions are communicated to the corresponding author in a formal letter, along with reviewers feedback. Once the final requirements are fulfilled, a formal letter of acceptance is sent to the corresponding author, and the manuscript enters the production stage.
Editorial Model
All articles are provided with public access upon acceptance and are made available on an open-access basis through our web platform, where they are permanently archived under a copyright agreement (link) and an open-access license (see license link).
Editorial Values
RMxAA operates under editorial policies designed to ensure the integrity and quality of all published material, as well as to maintain strict confidentiality during the peer-review process. The journal adheres to the principles of transparency, inclusivity, and global access.
