I’m not uploading to a journal. I upload stuff e.g. to Internet Archive. When I download stuff from various databases (journals, academic repositories, Google Books), it ranges from recent publications to stuff from several centuries ago, in which case a scan is all you can get.
so in that case i’m guessing it’s mostly just pdfs as containers for a series of images. that’s frustrating. there should really be a better format for that kind of thing. cbz is the simplest i can think of but that doesn’t really allow the same amount of metadata.
