SHORT COMMUNICATIONS IN THE ASTRONOMICAL LITERATURE
Abstract
The tendency is noted for short, high-priority communications in the literature (Letters or Research Notes) to become longer with time. This trend occurs despite external controls (fixed page limits) and mimics the same trend noted for the astronomical literature in general (Abt 1981).
