I want to make my article open access and accessible. When submitting to SOAR, how do I make my Accepted Manuscript document accessible?
Answer
Check out these electronic accessibility guidelines.
Best practices are to:
- add style Headings in Word documents;
- include Alt-text descriptions of figures and images;
- use Word-generated formatting for things like tables and bulleted/numbered lists; and
- add a Title (in Word or Acrobat) in Preferences.
The scholarly communications librarian can help you make these changes. Contact openaccess@oneonta.edu for help.
