Introduction ing from the research over the is presented in Appendix A. This note addresses the survival of LATEXinthe academic world, and it does it from the perspective Dynamics of LATEX submissions of electronic of LAT X articles in scientific E A journals. Such a perspective is necessarily limited, Submission of articles marked up with LTEXmay have different pros and cons for the people involved, since survival of LATEX in the academic world will undoubtely depend on a multitude of factors, often from author and academic editor to reviewer and intertwined, but it is quite interesting in itself since publisher.
