How does REVTeX benefit authors?

• REVTeX provides all the elements needed for preparation of a physics manuscript. Users will not need to develop special tags (macros) to meet their needs.

• REVTeX formats are designed to be acceptable for manuscript submission. Users will not need to be concerned about proper format for editorial offices (double spacing, margin requirements, etc.).

• REVTeX macros accommodate many presubmission distribution needs. For example, users can assign preprint numbers to manuscripts and can easily change to single-spaced copy to save paper before submission to editorial offices.

• REVTeX macros are recognized by numerous physics organizations as a TeX standard for manuscript preparation.

• REVTeX compuscript files can be used by a variety of publishers to create author proofs. Depending on the composition method used and the consistency of tagging, this can result in less proofreading for the author, accelerated production schedules, and/or reduced cost-per-page.
