I don’t know where the morning went \u2014 this and that, some fire department communications \u2014 but then I started assembling the next issue of The Pomegranate<\/em>, and immediately encountered the Lithuanian typography issue.<\/p>\n

As in, some of the special characters, such as e<\/em>-with-a-dot-over-it, are not in our normal font, Book Antiqua. <\/a><\/p>\n

But ah, Book Antiqua is derived from Palatino (my favorite default font), and my installation of Palatino has all those characters.<\/p>\n

So it’s point-and-select-and-change fonts for about half an hour until every special Lithuanian character in the article is changed to Palatino, which is slightly narrower but has about the same x-height<\/em> as Book Antiqua.<\/p>\n

And, oh yes, the bibliography has to be checked and uploaded to the Equinox website for some indexing purposes and also sent to the guy in England who does the Digital Object Identifiers.<\/p>\n

At which time it is beer-thirty.<\/p>\n

This is after <\/em>all the original editing, the selecting and working with peer reviewers, the interaction with the two authors, and the re-editing.<\/p>\n

And there are people who complain about the cost of academic journals and who think that everything should be free.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, you na\u00efve whiners and whingers, who is going to do what I have been doing for no pay whatsoever? I’m nowhere near finished. There will be more hours of work in Adobe InDesign and on the web before the issue is ready for the printer \u2014 who also<\/em> expects to be paid, and not in rainbows and unicorns.<\/p>\n

You, impoverished graduate student, haven’t you learned how to do interlibrary loan yet? Get a librarian to show you how, or go the university’s library website.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

And if you do not have a university affiliation are you not aware that many public libraries have inter-library loan librarians? Or that you can walk into most state university libraries, make nice, and get a “patron” card that includes various borrowing services?<\/p>\n

You only have to pay retail for downloaded articles from academic publishers if you need them right now.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
