JATS workflow?
Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2014 6:04 pm
Hi,
I am the editor of a small (free) open-access medical journal. My effort is non-profit and I'm busy with my day job. Articles are mini-reviews and very simple with the same format: ~500 words each, no tables/figures, ~5 references. I am hoping to develop a JATS workflow to produce 8-10 articles per month.
I was directed to Oxygen for this task and installed the JATS framework from GitHub. Articles are composed in MSWord. As far as I can tell, I would cut and paste anything that changes between articles (e.g. authors, text, volume, page numbers, references, doi, etc) using the oxygen authoring function.
This seems tedious, so I wanted to ask this forum if there was an easier way to use Oxygen I'm not aware of. The JATS galley will be published with OJS using the built in HTML/XLST plugin. My coding experience is limited, but I can follow directions and can usually figure out programs. I also have Adobe CC available (InDesign etc), but I'm not sure how to use that either.
I'm hoping that the articles are so simple that Oxygen will work for my pupose.
Thanks for any help.
P.S. I have searched the web and found multiple sites for free automatic conversion of word to NLM XML, but none of these seem to work quite yet or the word document needs to be formatted in a special way I'm not aware of.
