Neptune again!

LATEX authors are a potential community who are generally fuzzy and passionate as well about the typography and adherence to conventions of their respective disciplines during document processing. ...They have always asked for their document sources, for editing when galley proofs are made available to them. Neptune provides exactly this facility wherein authors can go through their very same sources to check for copy edited changes, respond to queries, navigate between LATEX source and pdf output, add or remove or change any numbered or unnumbered objects, insert or remove a bibliographic item, edit any text at their will and at the same time generate a fresh PDFat the end of edits with all changes in place, that too in the journal’s house style.
