Easy Reads: A Python program for making Scientific Papers on arXiv more Reader Friendly and Accessible

  • 自动获取arXiv论文并重排格式,支持自定义字体与页边距
  • 通过单列、大字号等调整,显著改善阅读舒适度
  • 开源工具,适合科研人员快速浏览复杂论文

科学论文常因小字号、双栏排版和密集图表导致阅读困难,影响可读性与可访问性。arXiv是跨学科科研论文的重要开放资源平台,被物理与天体物理等领域研究者广泛使用。Easy Reads是一款自动化、端到端的开源Python程序,可从arXiv URL自动获取论文源TeX文件,并支持自定义排版参数,如字体大小、列数等,从而改善论文呈现效果。其核心目标是提升科学论文的阅读便利性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scientific papers are frequently dense and characterized by features such as small fonts and line spacing, double columns of text, and tightly arranged figures. While these features make papers more compact, they can hinder readability, make them less accessible, and can strain the reader. arXiv is a premier open-access repository for scientific papers across different fields and is used extensively by researchers, including those in the physics and astrophysics communities. Easy Reads is an automated, end-to-end, open-source Python program that helps address the stated challenge by making papers from arXiv more reader-friendly and accessible. Easy Reads can automatically fetch a paper from arXiv via its URL and work with the source TeX file to allow custom formatting of the paper features, primarily the font size, and the number of columns used. The main goal of Easy Reads is to facilitate ease of reading of scientific papers.
