Scholarly publications are increasingly incorporating alternative text (alt text) for images into their high-quality content. All parties involved in the creation, production, and dissemination of information have a responsibility to ensure that all readers have equal access to the images they find in scholarly papers. Workflows are being modified by content and service providers to enhance image metadata and meet accessibility standards. Accessible images provide all users with a better experience in addition to levelling the playing field for readers with disabilities.
