Text Preparation and Formatting
AGU, like many other scientific publishers, cannot accept any final files for publication created in Microsoft Word 2007. Equations and special characters produced in this new .docx format are not compatible with internal copyediting and production processes. AGU is working with other scientific publishers and Microsoft on this issue.
