Who Is It For?

Authors who no longer want to use cumbersome formatting tools or learn a complicated programming language to write technical documents will appreciate the comfort and elegance of Publicon. Whether you're an industry professional, a student in a technical field, or an independent researcher writing papers on the side, Publicon will meet your needs for creating sophisticated technical documents and publishing them online.

Academic Researchers
Write formatted papers for publication with Publicon's template-driven document creation system. Integrated style sheets conform to the standards of such publishers as BioMed Central, the American Mathematical Society, and the American Physical Society. Clean export to LaTeX, XML, and HTML, in addition to custom Publicon formats, gives you the freedom to submit files to virtually anyone. Extensive palettes and keyboard shortcuts let you access complex characters such as those needed for scientific equations. Publicon has automated much of the usual work behind creating technical documents, taking you from concept to publication quickly and easily each time.

Industry Professionals
Create customized reports that can be published online. Publicon's support for MathML lets you post documents on the web for viewing with MathML-enabled browsers. Engineers will appreciate being able to copy, paste, and evaluate Publicon's typeset equations in Mathematica. Chemists have instant access to a range of reaction-equation and molecular-formula templates via Publicon's technical notation palettes. Patent attorneys will find Publicon's intuitive typesetting system a great advantage for processing technical documents and converting them to XHTML.

EDRM Systems Providers
Publicon offers enterprise solutions for integrating XML documents, particularly those exploiting MathML, into electronic document and record management systems for sites requiring strict document management protocols. Publicon documents themselves are based on an ASCII format (with secure encoding options available), making them easy to handle within version-control and time-stamping frameworks. Publicon shares its technology base with Mathematica, allowing for scriptable document conversion automation within Java or .NET server configurations.

Publishers and Societies
Publicon helps to streamline the manuscript submission and approval process by providing an easy-to-use interface for authors to compose their work in publisher-specific formats, such as the AMS-LaTeX, APS PhysRev, and BioMed Central XML. These are examples of built-in Publicon formats, but any others can be supported with customization of LaTeX conversion using available tools, or with XML consulting solutions provided by Wolfram Research.

Teachers and Students
Use Publicon to compose tests, homework assignments, papers, theses, and dissertations in physics, mathematics, engineering, the biosciences, and other related fields. Mathematical typesetting can be copied and pasted for computation in Mathematica, allowing students meaningful and dynamic interaction with the text. You can also paste Mathematica work directly into your Publicon documents.
