TY - JOUR AB - Manuscript to be reviewed Computer Science Formatting Open Science: agilely creating multiple document formats for academic manuscripts with Pandoc Scholar 1 Corresp. 2 Albert Krewinkel , Robert Winkler Pandoc Development Team Department of Biotechnology and Biochemistry, CINVESTAV Unidad Irapuato Corresponding Author: Robert Winkler Email address: robert.winkler@cinvestav.mx The timely publication of scientific results is essential for dynamic advances in science. The ubiquitous availability of computers which are connected to a global network made the rapid and low-cost distribution of information through electronic channels possible. New concepts, such as Open Access publishing and preprint servers are currently changing the traditional print media business towards a community-driven peer production. However, the cost of scientific literature generation, which is either charged to readers, authors or sponsors, is still high. The main active participants in the authoring and evaluation of scientific manuscripts are volunteers, and the cost for online publishing infrastructure is close to negligible. A major time and cost factor is the formatting of manuscripts in the production stage. In this article we demonstrate the feasibility of writing scientific manuscripts in plain markdown (MD) text files, which can be easily converted into common publication formats, such as PDF, HTML or EPUB, using pandoc.
