That's What Editors Do!

Appearing late in March, this article is a worthwhile read. Published via the Council of Science Editors' journal, Science Editor, and written by Bill Kasdorf, Principal, Kasdorf & Associates, the article points out that "it is entirely possible for a publisher’s standard editorial and production workflows to make their standard products—websites, journal articles, and books—accessible from the start."

The accessibility's better, and your publications are better too. This article explains why. @a11y @accessibledaisy @Benetech https://t.co/1swaltrNPe
