OJS and XML JATS: Ready-to-Publish Integration
What we solve at OJS
- Massive upload of articles with coherent and normalized metadata.
- Unified templates and styles for HTML5 and PDF (visual consistency).
- E2E (end-to-end) testing of navigation, links, metrics, and exports.
- Publication checklist and mini-operational guide for the team.
Integration Deliverables
- JATS packages per article (validated).
- Assets (CSS/JS) for HTML5 and PDF styles.
- Quick operation guide in OJS (roles, states, best practices).
- 60–90 min training session (optional, recordable).
Best Practices
- Separate staging and production environments.
- Reusable blocks (headers, disclaimers, licenses).
- Versioning of styles and change control.
- Periodic review of links and metrics (Google Scholar/Analytics if applicable).
- Backups and rollback plan.
Mini case (summary)
A biomedical journal with 30 articles per issue reduced its closure from 2 weeks to 5 days and decreased post-publication corrections by 70% after unifying styles and automating uploads with JATS packages.
