There are the reproducible codes (from the help file). The first one 
with the long text is rotated the second is not rotated.
Seems that they rotate the page, if the text of the y-axes is longer 
than the text of the x-axes.
Are you able to see any other reason for the rotation.
I will contact the journal again, if there is no other reason especially 
of the R-code.
