Their re-typesetting your articles can just be pure grief, too.<p>For the last journal article I published, in a journal run by Springer, we submitted a nicely typeset LaTeX article using the template they provided.<p>Our best theory is that they then copy&#x2F;pasted the result into Word.  It came back to us as a &quot;pre-print&quot; PDF with tons of errors, font changes, etc.  We had no good way to compare it to the original other than printing them both out and going through, line by line, looking for discrepancies.  There were dozens and dozens of problems.  And it was a 70 page article!<p>After sending them corrections we got to repeat this process 3 times.<p>And now they charge folks for our article.<p>Fuck. :(
