This expression immediately brings to mind the article&#8217;s online presentation, its proper viewing: typography, display of metadata, layout&#8230; But what exactly does this involve? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is typesetting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All articles from the Centre Mersenne journals are created in LaTeX. Typesetting means editing the elements provided by the author so that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the article can be correctly compressed on the computer during the fascicle&#8217;s creation (error-free LaTeX and compatible with Cedram which implements the journal&#8217;s layouts);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the information retrieved (metadata and bibliography) during the fascicle&#8217;s creation is correctly encoded and formatted;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the article can be visually appealing, typographically correct and in keeping with the journal&#8217;s templates and operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, typesetting at the Centre Mersenne includes: layouts according to the journal&#8217;s customised LaTeX templates, copy preparation, checking and structuring of metadata and bibliography, checking and adjusting graphic elements and mathematical formulae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Typesetting<\/strong> process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typessting and proofreading are not automatic and require various human interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1- Preparation and verifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means preparing the folder where all the files will be stored and checking that all required files are present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2- Checking the bibliography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is to check the bibliography&#8217;s format and its informational content. Missing information then needs to be researched and completed using the information available in the scientific databases. Then various verifications are conducted: website addresses, names of authors and publishers, consistency of titles, names, etc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transfer to the Cedram module<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of this phase is to cleanse the author&#8217;s master file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is to first render the article error-free using the cedram module, without worrying about the result. This allows us to detect any unnecessary packages or macros and to monitor future errors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4- Checking the metadata<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is crucial because all this information will be retrieved by <a href=\"http:\/\/www-sop.inria.fr\/marelle\/tralics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Tralics<\/u><\/a> for display on the journal&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quality and completion of metadata varies from journal to journal. The dates are integrated from OJS data. From a technical point of view, at least the title and the author&#8217;s name are required for building an article.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The metadata must be verified, completed and sometimes formatted to make it intelligible to Tralics and readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5- Verification of packages, macros and images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This phase allows checking and cleansing of macros and packages. It is necessary because macros sometimes redefine the settings of the journal&#8217;s layout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6- Page layout and typographical corrections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this stage, the layout designers at the Centre Mersenne observe standard typographic rules (layout of formulae, deletion of unnecessary spaces and of widow and orphan lines, insertion of non-breaking spaces, checking of illustrations, etc.) and any rules specific to the journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7- Discussions with authors, validation and submission to the journal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once typesetting is complete, the files are sent via <a href=\"https:\/\/pkp.sfu.ca\/ojs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>OJS<\/u><\/a> to the publisher and author for approval. Several corrections may be made until validation by the author. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre Mersenne provides services for typesetting and proofreading.
