Manuscript Typography Audit
Pipeline position: Phase 2b (polish audit). Runs in parallel with
manuscript-provenance. Depends on: content settled after Phase 1 fixes.
See /manuscript-pipeline for full execution order.
Purpose
Audit a LaTeX manuscript for widely-accepted academic typographic conventions that directly affect readability and professional appearance. These are not venue-specific formatting rules — they are cross-venue norms from decades of academic publishing that experienced readers and reviewers notice.
A paper with solid content but poor typography signals inexperience. Reviewers form impressions from visual presentation before reading a single sentence.
