论文摘要
由于残疾和其他障碍,ARXIV托管的研究内容并非完全可以使用。这很重要,因为很大一部分人都有阅读和视觉障碍,对我们的社区来说,Arxiv尽可能开放,如果科学要进步,我们需要广泛而多样化的参与。此外,我们还具有可访问的任务,并且可访问的内容使每个人都受益。在本文中,我们将描述研究中的可访问性问题,审查当前的缓解作用(并解释为什么它们不够足够),并与科学家和可访问性专家分享我们的用户研究结果。最后,我们将介绍Arxiv提出的下一步迈向更多开放科学:与现有PDF和Tex格式一起提供HTML。本文的可访问html版本也可在https://info.arxiv.org/about/accessibility_research_report.html上找到
The research content hosted by arXiv is not fully accessible to everyone due to disabilities and other barriers. This matters because a significant proportion of people have reading and visual disabilities, it is important to our community that arXiv is as open as possible, and if science is to advance, we need wide and diverse participation. In addition, we have mandates to become accessible, and accessible content benefits everyone. In this paper, we will describe the accessibility problems with research, review current mitigations (and explain why they aren't sufficient), and share the results of our user research with scientists and accessibility experts. Finally, we will present arXiv's proposed next step towards more open science: offering HTML alongside existing PDF and TeX formats.
