Beyond the Text: Formatting the Style and Making Your Manuscript Accessible

By eContent Pro on Sep 5, 2022
The landscape of publishing and distributing content is rapidly changing, and some of the tasks long seen as being the responsibility of publishers are now expected of authors. There are many ways that an author can showcase their message through text. Indeed, many authors find that much of their time is spent on formatting their manuscript, according to a 2019 study published in PLOS ONE. Authors, because of their job, have a moral obligation to ensure that the data they are spreading is accessible. Usually, a publisher would have a legal obligation to provide this access based on the author’s work. However, with the changing environment of data distribution, this too is changing. Alt-text is an important way to make one’s work accessible for people who may not be able to visually read the text. Also, there are ways to embed other information in manuscripts, depending on the field. For example, embedding identifiers like ChemID for a manuscript related to chemistry can easily identify the cited article and other resources within that scholarly ecosystem.
