Septentrio Academic Publishing is working on improving web accessibility of the content published in its journals and series. We are currently focusing on the webpages and are also starting to implement accessible article templates. Publishing, however, involves many actors - including editors and authors - so it will take a long time before we can claim that all of the content published by Septentrio Academic Publishing is 100 % accessible.
A useful resource for authors and editors is Creating Accessible Content: A Guide for Journal Editors and Authors.
If you experience accessibility problems in Septentrio's journals and series, and have suggestions for improvement, contact us at septentrio@ub.uit.no.
