On a side note, I love the idea of researchers writing “articles” in this format. No paywall, no complex two-column format, no PDFs. As a researcher myself, I wish this is what my “productivity” was judged upon, I’d probably have a lot more fun and motivation to work and produce!

- Syzygies 5y agoTwo columns makes inappropriate assumptions about the reader's choice of media. The aging publisher assumes everyone prefers paper. A reader attempting to scroll through the article on a tablet suffers. We blew it, making a global effort to perfect fixed format technical typesetting rather than flowable text. Technical flowable text is just now becoming viable, and it is certainly not the norm for journal articles.
