Which file types does Research Exchange support?
The supported file formats for the main document depend on each journal's requirements. A journal will accept one or more of the following formats:
- A Microsoft Word .docx document.
- A single LaTeX .tex file.
- A ZIP or .tar.gz archive containing multiple LaTeX files, as well as BibTeX files, figures, tables, all LaTeX classes and packages, and any other material that belongs to your main manuscript.
- A PDF file.
Note: When uploading your main document in LaTeX format, either as a
single .tex file or as a .zip or .tar.gz archive containing multiple .tex files, then
you are required to upload a single, compiled PDF output file generated from your LaTeX
main document file(s).
WordArt or other unusual formatting in the main document may cause errors with the document import. Try converting WordArt to plain text, or an image, as appropriate, and removing any unusual formatting, then save your document and try again.
For all document types, Research Exchange does not support executable or script file formats such as EXE, BAT, JS, or VBS.
Document types that accept only certain file formats are listed below. Document types that are
not listed below accept most file formats.
Note: If a journal
specifies that you should not upload certain file types, then follow the journal's
guidelines even if Research Exchange permits you to upload such
files.
