Journal Submission Pipeline
How to submit to multiple journals with different requirements from a single source document using TypeTeX.
What to Expect
Journal rejection is a normal part of academic publishing. The pain comes from reformatting your paper for each new submission. TypeTeX aims to eliminate this "formatting tax":
- Write your paper once with semantic structure
- Export to different journal formats without manual reformatting
- Citation styles, figure sizing, and margins handled automatically
- Resubmit to new journals quickly after rejection

The Multi-Journal Challenge
The reality of academic publishing:
- • High-impact journals have 80-95% rejection rates
- • Each journal has different formatting requirements
- • Manual reformatting takes 2-3 days per submission
- • A paper may be submitted to 3-5 journals before acceptance
- • Total formatting time can exceed actual writing time
Supported Journal Formats
Typical requirements: Single column, specific figure sizing, structured abstract
Typical requirements: Double column, supporting info separate, keyword requirements
Typical requirements: IEEE format, numbered references, specific margins
Typical requirements: Specific section structure, data availability statement
Typical requirements: Simple formatting, PDF upload
Workflow Comparison
- 1.Write paper in LaTeX with custom formatting
- 2.Receive desk rejection or reviews suggesting different journal
- 3.Manually reformat entire paper (2-3 days)
- 4.Fix figure sizes, reference format, section structure
- 5.Submit to new journal
- 6.Repeat if rejected again (2-3 more days each time)
- 1.Write paper once in TypeTeX with semantic structure
- 2.Submit to first-choice journal with one-click export
- 3.If rejected, select new journal template
- 4.Click export - formatting handled automatically
- 5.Submit to new journal same day
- 6.Repeat as needed without reformatting overhead
Time Savings Breakdown
| Task | Old (LaTeX) | New (TypeTeX) | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial manuscript formatting | 4-8 hours | 0 hours (write content, TypeTeX handles formatting) | 4-8 hours |
| Journal format switch (per submission) | 2-3 days | 2-5 minutes | ~16 hours |
| Figure resizing & placement | 2-4 hours | Automatic per journal requirements | 2-4 hours |
| Reference reformatting | 1-2 hours | Automatic (IEEE → APA → Vancouver) | 1-2 hours |
| Generating supplementary materials | 1-2 hours | One-click separation | 1-2 hours |

Tips for Multi-Journal Submissions
- 1
Write content first, format last
Focus on your research. TypeTeX handles formatting when you're ready to submit.
- 2
Use semantic structure from the start
Mark sections, figures, and references with meaning, not formatting. This enables automatic adaptation.
- 3
Maintain high-res figures
Different journals have different size requirements. Keep originals, let TypeTeX resize.
- 4
Post to arXiv for visibility
Get your work visible while the formal review process continues.
