Naman's Hub

We believe that access to knowledge is a fundamental right. Naman's Hub strives to provide a website accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with all applicable standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA.

This commitment extends to all content published on our platform, and we encourage authors to consider accessibility when preparing their manuscripts (e.g., providing alternative text for images).

Naman's Hub incorporates the following measures to enhance accessibility:

• Semantic HTML: Using correct HTML5 elements to structure content logically for assistive technologies.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring the site can be navigated effectively using only a keyboard.
• Text Alternatives: Providing text alternatives (alt text) for meaningful non-text content like images and figures, where feasible.
• Color Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background elements.
• Resizable Text: Allowing users to resize text using browser controls without loss of content or functionality.
• Clear Layout: Designing with a clear and consistent layout and navigation structure.
• ARIA Attributes: Implementing Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes where necessary to improve dynamic content accessibility.
• Ongoing Training: Providing accessibility awareness training for our staff.

We are actively working towards achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility, it may not always be possible to do so in all areas of the website, particularly concerning user-generated content or third-party integrations.

Known Limitations:

• Some older archived content may not meet current standards.
• Complex figures or data visualizations within research papers might pose challenges for certain assistive technologies. We encourage authors to provide detailed descriptions.
• Content provided by third parties (e.g., embedded widgets) may not fully conform.

We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of Naman's Hub. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please let us know:

• Email: N/A
• Contact Form:Under Development

Please provide specific details, including the web page URL and a description of the issue, to help us understand and address the problem effectively. We aim to respond to feedback within [e.g., 5 business days].

Naman's Hub is designed to be compatible with recent versions of major web browsers, including:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

We also aim for compatibility with common assistive technologies, such as:

• Screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
• Screen magnifiers.
• Speech recognition software.

While we strive for broad compatibility, the website may not behave optimally on older browser versions or certain assistive technology combinations.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort at Naman's Hub. We regularly review our site using both automated tools and manual testing methods.

Future plans include:

• Conducting formal accessibility audits periodically.
• Enhancing guidance for authors on creating accessible submissions.
• Exploring options for providing accessible alternatives for complex visualizations.
• Continuously monitoring user feedback to identify areas for improvement.
