SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING INDUSTRY WEEKLY NEWS ALERT

December 13, 2022 FEATURED ARTICLE Providing descriptive captions for images. How important is this for authors and publishers?   Each organization's decision to manage its image description workflows is influenced by a variety of factors.

Readers who lack the required software or technology to view the original copies may likewise be unable to access these images.
