Why does JOSIS prefer latex article submissions to Microsoft Word submissions?
JOSIS issues are generated in latex, to ensure the most professional possible typesetting results within limited volunteer time resources. As a result, if you generate your article in latex, you are helping to support JOSIS by alleviating the need for time-consuming format conversions by volunteer copyeditors. At the same time, Microsoft Word continues to be a widely used document preparation system, and as a result JOSIS will continue to support Word submissions into the forseeable future.
