How to Submit a Letter to the Editor

Letters to the Editor are selected for publication that are pertinent to material published in Science or that discuss problems of general interest. Letters may be reviewed. Those selected for publication are intended to reflect the range of opinions received. The author of a paper in question is usually given an opportunity to reply.

Letters are not routinely acknowledged. Full addresses, signatures, and daytime phone numbers should be included. Letters should be brief (300 words or less) and may be edited for reasons of clarity or space. They may appear in print and/or on the World Wide Web. Letter writers are not consulted before publication.

Letters to the Editor may be submitted in the following ways:

• Online (preferred): www.submit2science.org
• By fax: 202-789-4669
• By postal mail:
  Science
  Letters Department
  1200 New York Avenue, NW

We strongly encourage electronic submission.
