There are many reasons one could imagine that this became the case.</p><ul><li><p>PDF documents "look" nice. Electronically-typeset PDFs usually have nice vectorized fonts that scale with infinite resolution.</p></li><li><p>Furthermore, PDFs typeset with LaTeX appear professional right out of the box because of careful stylistic choices, like using Computer Modern Roman as the default font rather than Times New Roman, a surefire way to spot a document made with Microsoft Word.</p></li><li><p>Though costly PDF authoring software certainly exists, LaTeX submissions are accepted by many academic journals. The LaTeX software is free and open source, with a long history of producing high-quality documents for publishing.</p></li><li><p>PDFs are standalone, meaning you can download one file, save it locally, and open it later in any PDF reader you like. You don't have to browse back to the journal's archive to read the paper, which adds to the convenience of the PDF format.</p></li></ul><p>Considering each of these points in turn, however, may show you why PDF is not necessarily the perfect choice for academic publishing.</p><ul><li><p>PDF documents do look nice, but they are not the only vehicle for aesthetically-pleasing content. Vectorized fonts are readily available outside the PDF standard. Changing to another document format does not mean the documents have to be rasterized or lose their visual appeal.</p></li><li><p>Academics, myself included, can usually spot a document typeset with LaTeX from a mile away. We see them every day on preprint servers and journal archives, to the point that information conveyed in LaTeX source or PDF just seems more trustworthy now. Don't believe me? <a href="https://xkcd.com/1301">It's literally the subject of an xkcd comic.</a></p></li><li><p>LaTeX is a common tool for typesetting publication-quality documents that many researchers use frequently. It is not the only authoring tool freely available, though, just the current standard.</p></li><li><p>Though standalone digital files, PDFs are inherently linked to the idea of print media. When you download a journal article as a PDF, the document you receive is divided into pages already, complete with headers, footers, and page numbers, which are arguably unnecessary in an age when most academics read the paper in its digital form. When did you last print out an article on actual, physical paper?</p></li></ul></div></div></div><script defer="defer" src="/elucidate/assets/common-main~toolbox~mathml~colormap~tutorial.js"></script><script defer="defer" src="/elucidate/assets/main.bundle.js"></script></body></html> |
