CEURART document verification

CEURART document verification.

1 Key issues

• Frequent errors are:
  • not using Libertinus fonts;
  • using an old CEURART template;
  • not using the correct copyright phrase;
  • not having selectable text in the PDF file, preventing indexing by GoogleScholar and the like.

2 Utilities

• The document verification utilities for CEUR-WS can be found in the repository: https://github.com/yamadharma/ceurart-check

2.1 check-pdf-errors

• Source: https://ceur-ws.org/check-pdf-errors
• Checks pdf files.
• Checks for the presence of the phrase ‘Creative Commons’ in pdf files.
  • This is to check if the text can be highlighted (if the document is not an image).
• Checking for the use of Libertinus fonts.
• Checking for duplication of pdf files.
• Checking whether article titles and author lists in PDF files match the title in the index.html file.

2.2 check-index-errors

• Source: https://ceur-ws.org/check-index-errors
• Checks the index.html file.
• Rules:
  • paper PDFs that are in the directory but not listed in index.html;
  • papers that are linked in index.html but not included in the directory;
  • there is now a test on how many regular papers a CEURVOLEDITOR has. This helps to check part of the diversity rule.

2.3 ceur-add-pagenum

• Repo: https://github.com/amato-gianluca/ceur-add-pagenum
• A small Python script for counting the number of pages in the PDF files linked to an index.html document (prepared for submission to CEUR-WS), and updating the CEURPAGES fields.
• The script does not alter the PDF files, just the index.html.
• The script depends on the lxml and PyPDF2 packages.
