Comment on Hindawi’s Profit Margin is Higher than Elsevier’s by Johannes Wilm

Interesting! How do they get the information into the XML files though? Most journals I’ve come across start out with Microsoft Word as input files, and then somehow need to move that into a format you can use for typesetting. That process usually requires a lot of manual human intervention.
That was the reason why we started Fidus Writer ( http://www.fiduswriter.com ), so that the auhtor can either directly write in this online editor, or he can do the import himself through copy-and-paste. Output of fidus writer can then be Latex, which you can use directly in the journal. I haven’t found other editors that do that, at least none with a WYSIWYG interface.
How do you guys do that?
