Matthew's Journal

I got the page proofs for my GRL article yesterday. It's exciting to me because I get to see what my article will look like when it's published. The purpose of the page proofs is so I can inspect the article and make sure everything is correct now that it's formatted for publication. The total article length is seven pages mainly because they did some strange things with the figures. For instance, page 3 is just a figure. The only mistake I've seen so far is some errors with italics. Otherwise, everything looks good and it feels good to know that I'm one step away from from seeing my first peer reviewed publication in print and circulated among the scientific community.
