  The field of scientific publishing that is served by LaTeX is increasingly
dependent on the availability of metadata about publications. We discuss how to
use LaTeX classes and BibTeX styles to curate metadata throughout the life
cycle of a published article. Our focus is on streamlining and automating much
of publishing workflow. We survey the various options and drawbacks of the
existing approaches and outline our approach as applied in a new LaTeX style
file where we have as main goal to make it easier for authors to specify their
metadata only once and use this throughout the entire publishing pipeline. We
believe this can help to reduce the cost of publishing, by reducing the amount
of human effort required for editing and providing of publication metadata.
