Submitting an article to a journal can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience. Journals can support their authors by allowing them to submit their work in any format. Implementing a format-free workflow is not without its challenges, however. This presentation will address the practical aspects of introducing such a workflow and tackle the myths and concerns that may surround it. It will be relevant to editors, authors and reviewers.
