Thanks! The first one does the trick, though not the second one.

Let me try my hands for the second point.

Thanks anyway.

You need to apply templates to elements that contains the dummy  
attributes, something like:

<xsl:template match="*[@dummy]">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="@dummy"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@dummy"/> <!-- to remove the dummy attribute -->

for making the journalcode and issn as a child of meta element, apply  
templates to these elements inside the copy template of the meta  
element:

<xsl:template match="meta">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="/article/journalcode|/articel/issn"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

* not tested
