Dr Suzanne she/herData show that 1,392,459,556 hours worth of unnecessary formatting occurs every year due to formatting requirements from journals that require formatting on submission. (Reinhardt, 2023, Highly Annoyed Journal of the Sciences, 1(1).) #AcademicChatter
David Lohner@DrSuzanne maybe we all should use services like sciflow.net
@davidlohner What is this wizardry of which you speak?
@DrSuzanne Journals can partner with #SciFlow in order to get their templates into the system. Authors type simply in markdown, can connect their #Zotero library and focus purely on #AcademicWriting.
Institutions on the other hand, may subscribe to SciFlow to get their employees access to the service. Fin. Works like a charm (in theory).
Sadly, I have not yet published anything in a journal whose template is available at SciFlow.

@davidlohner This looks amazing. The only hitch is that journal publishers make an obscene amount of money. Enough, in fact, that they could format our articles for us instead of us having to pay for it. It looked to me like the journal templates were for the paid subscription. ☹️
