We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Our platform supports:

  • Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard.
  • Screen reader compatibility: Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and logical heading hierarchy.
  • Color contrast: Text and interactive elements meet AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 minimum).
  • Responsive design: Full functionality across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
  • Alternative text: All images and figures include descriptive alt text.
  • Focus indicators: Visible focus outlines for keyboard users.
  • Reduced motion: Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion user preferences.

Document Accessibility

  • Published papers are available in HTML (primary) and PDF formats.
  • HTML versions include semantic markup, navigable headings, and responsive tables.
  • Figures include alt text descriptions and, where applicable, data tables.
  • Mathematical notation uses MathML with fallback images.
