## Astronomy & Astrophysics Journals (A&A)
## Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A)

Before publication, A&A editors and CDS decide which data to ingest in VizieR.
The authors then need to submit the requested data to CDS.
Before publication, **A&A editors decide which data will be only available at CDS (in VizieR).**
The authors then need to submit the requested data to CDS **and the data will be available at CDS just after publcation of the paper.**
Other tables already published can also be selected by the CDS.


List of journals included:

- Astronomy & Astrophysics: A&A
- Astronomy & Astrophysics Supplement Series: A&AS


------------------

*Recommendations* (from the A&A webpage):

By contract with the Journal, the CDS archives the primary data that are published in A&A and puts them at the disposal of the global community.

Once their papers accepted, the **authors submit their MRT files directly** to the CDS.
Once their papers accepted, the authors submit their MRT files **(if possible)** directly to the CDS.
