Rules, Guidelines and Instructions for Proceedings
There are important rules that IAU Authors and Editors should follow when finalizing their articles and proceedings for publication. These ensure that IAU has the necessary consent to publish and owns the copyright, where appropriate, and that articles and proceedings maintain internal consistency and can adhere to widely accepted rules. Observing these rules will greatly facilitate interaction between IAU proceedings' editors and its publishers, Cambridge University Press.
