* Trends in Paper Submission, Types, Problems, Quality Control Volker RW Schaa GSI, Darmstadt, Germany Team Meeting 2022 Knoxville, TN, USA 2022-11-09T09:30
*Overview Over the years within JACoW each conference and their authors saw a shift in preferred platforms, file types, and accuracy of submissions. This talk will investigate and make comment on these evolving trends. preferred platforms for file types, accuracy of submissions, and changes in file type for conferences
*Overview As you have already seen or heard, a number of changes have taken place over the 25 years of JACoW. New software and tools have been introduced and we are facing a major change in the coming years. I won t give a history lesson with one exception: You heard about Dotting Boards, only a few of you might have seen how it started: so here is a picture of one at LINAC2004.
*Dotting Board at LINAC 04
*Overview It was one of the smaller Dotting Boards as LINAC 04 had just 300 contributions. Imagine the preparation for PACs and EPACs with up to 1 700 contributions. As a Newbie at EPAC 04 part of my training was to help Sheila (John Poole s wife) placing and replacing dots on the huge boards outside the Editorial Office. And do not forget the number of dots needed for the board and on the papers! Matt s Electronic Dotting Board and Stefano s & Ivan s idea dotting in PDF made life so much easier.
*Overview What kind of changes took place will be shown based on data of the last 14 years (where available) for preferred platforms for file types, accuracy of submissions, and changes in file type for conferences Data shown for 2020 and 2021 are all from virtual conferences with editors around the world without the luxury of having recently attended a Team Meeting or one of the bigger conferences as trainees. Therefore a tendency to more common error descriptions (and codes) could be observed. Nevertheless problem areas can be identified.
*Changes Changes in preferred platforms for file types
*Changes Changes in accuracy of submissions Better and Worse
*Accuracy of submissions *JACoW maintains a list of Error Codes which is updated when the need arises and are used in SPMS and now also in Indico. *On the left the latest version from 2022-09-12 (new code FC03 introduced for BibLaTeX/BibTeX/Biber)
*Accuracy of submissions *Better: some errors which had often been seen between 2004 2014 are nearly gone or below 2%, e.g. Font problems [FPxx], Graphics problems [TC10, FC02], Bad PDF/PS/EPS, Tearing Boxes [FC04, FC05, FC10] * As we are now checking References in more detail, these errors are mentioned most often: Reference formatting [TC06], DOI missing [TC14] * Then there are a number of problems found depending on source format: o Word & ODF: Wrong text flow after double wide figures and tables o LaTeX: Use of BibTeX without fitting style information (IEEEtran style does not agree with JACoW style requirements BibLaTeX & Biber) o LuaLaTeX: missing BoldMath symbols due to wrong font & encoding selection * And still the good old formattings errors * Uppercase units in Title and Section headings * Acronyms missing their CamelCase * Figure and Table formatting, caption formatting * Figures, Tables, References not in sequence or not references in text
*Changes Changes in file types for conferences
