This article is entitled Astronomy and Astrophysics, and Astronomy & Astrophysics redirects here. But looking at the journal's home page [1], it seems that Astronomy & Astrophysics is the way they word it - see their logo [2]. Should the name be changed? -- Baba O RLY 04:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
”Dear ...,
Thank you very much for having submitted your manuscript entitled :
"..."
to Astronomy and Astrophysics.
I regret to inform you that your manuscript cannot be considered for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics because we do not publish articles that are not authored by members of astronomical research institutes.
Sincerely,

This is the standard message that has been mailed to such authors at least from 2012 to 2017. This deserves to be mentioned in the article, since most other scientific journals accept articles based on their scientific merit alone. Talnat ( talk) 01:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
The lead currently has this sentence: It is one of the premier journals for astronomy in the world
. Can we cite a reliable source for this (as is done in the article for
The New England Journal of Medicine)? Or better yet, can we remove it as
WP:PUFFERY, and replace it with some facts that point to the journal's prominence? I'm not quite sure what facts would be appropriate in this case. Maybe pointing to a few particular highly notable/impactful papers that have been published in the journal? Or are there any reliable rankings of astronomy journals? We could mention its impact factor in the lead, but that number by itself is hard to interpret without context.
