How To Use Cat Scan Editor
- Make sure you have turned off “Track Changes” in word, have “Accepted or Reject All Changes”, and saved the document in DOCX format using the Paper ID as the file name.
- Visit http://scan.jacow.org
- Click on “Choose File”, and point at your document, and Click “Open”.
- Click “Scan”, the file will upload, be immediately validated and results published to the browser screen.
- Review results, make corrections to document, re-scan as many times as required.
- Note: This tool is a “best effort” scanner, and due to the wide variety of authors habits within Word the tool may not pick up every issue with your submission, and authors are always ask to critically proof read and check their document. If authors start with the current template, and follow normal conventions of paper authorship, this tool will work extremely well.
