OSA uses a Word plug-in called eXtyles to normalize, format, tag, and parse the file into full-text XML. OSA will not publish the same Word file that authors submit for their final revisions, so it is imperative that authors carefully check the final version of their paper before paying the publication fee. In order to prevent delays in production, we ask that authors carefully adhere to the following guidelines: Having full-text XML will allow the express journals to be indexed more accurately and completely in MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and other databases it will also allow the journal to meet its archival obligations and to prepare for new services, such as full-text semantic search and repurposing of content. XML is the industry standard for producing and archiving scientific journal articles and is used in producing all other OSA journals.
