Figures and formulae

Standardization

Merops can standardize and correct the presentation of formula and figure citations and labels:

  • See eqn (IV.a) See Equation 4a
  • Eqn 1: a + b = c a + b = c [1]
  • FIG. 1- The... Figure 1. The...

Citation preferences are context specific, so Merops can apply one standard in general text, and another in parentheses, and/or tables.

Merops can also apply an abbreviated standard to citations in general text, while ensuring they are spelled out in full at the start of a sentence.

Cross-checking

Merops checks that citations and the figures/formulae themselves are in sequence and alerts errors.

Merops alerts the user if it finds a citation but no figure/formula or if it finds a formula or figure that hasn’t been cited.

Tables

Standardization

Merops can identify and standardize the presentation of table citations and labels:

  • See tab. II to IV See Tables 2-4
  • TAB. I- The... Table 1. The...

Citation preferences are context specific, so Merops can apply one standard in general text, and another in parentheses, and/or tables.

Merops can automatically convert tabular data separated by multiple spaces and tabs into cellular tables.

Cross-checking

Merops checks that table citations and the tables themselves are in sequence and alerts errors.

Merops alerts the user if it finds a citation but no table or if it finds a table that hasn’t been cited.

Merops crosschecks, sorts, and standardizes table footnotes.

The Merops interface comes with some useful table-editing tools, such as 'Invert Table' and 'Delete empty rows/columns'.

External links

Merops can recognize URLs and email addresses and turn them into hyperlinks.

Merops can standardize between ’http://www...’ and ’www...’ at the start of URLs.

Merops can standardize the format of URLs and email addresses.

Merops can look up URLs and email domain names online and alert the user if they could not be validated as there may be a spelling error.
