Summary description: A package for the capture of author-supplied metadata
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The metacapture package and iacrj document class are designed to be used in a
journal publishing workflow. They provide a standard way for authors to provide
their metadata in a way that it can both be used to produce the front matter of
the article as well as a text output file that can be used to register the
article for a DOI and produce an HTML landing page. There is a companion
workflow component written in python that allows authors to upload their
articles and have them checked for metadata completeness and produce HTML
output.
