Abstract

In many areas of science, 20-60% and even more authors are applying L^ATEX when submitting their manuscripts for publication in scientific magazines, journals or book series. We therefore suggest that scientific publishers should apply L^ATEX with pdfTEX for

1. composing, editing and formatting articles in any required document class and lay-out;
2. making use of the easy conversion to PDF for mailing, proof-reading or uploading purposes; and
3. taking advantage of PDF for e-publication on WWW and on CD-ROM, as well as for printing on paper by the print-on-demand or the computer-to-plate technologies of digital printing.

All these advantages of L^ATEXpdfTEX, from manuscript submission to final production of a journal or a book, are demonstrated here with examples from the scientific publications produced by the non-profit publishing house ``Copernicus''.
