Starting in late February 2016, AJ and ApJ submissions have been consolidated into a single submission site. From the site authors will select an appropriate broad subject corridor. For the SPD community this will most often be the corridor named “The Sun and The Heliosphere.”

Details about the new submission process can be found at journals.aas.org and links from that page. The seven corridors are described in the links, which also include broad guidelines about which papers will go to AJ and which to ApJ. In the Solar and Helio corridor the baseline assumption is that accepted papers will appear in ApJ.

Note that until the ApJL is integrated into the new single submission site authors who wish to publish in the Letters must go to the ApJL submission site.
