[Web4lib] Innovative / Editing / Publishing Services / Systems/?

[McKiernan, Gerard [LIB]]

Colleagues/

 

I Am Greatly Interested In Learning Of Any and All Innovative Publishing
/ Editing Systems.

 

By Innovative I Mean Editing / Publishing Systems That Add Value To A
Publication.

 

Examples Of Added-Value-Added Editing / Publishing Systems Are Features
and Functionalities That David Shotton considers 'Semantic Publishing'

 

"In the present context, I define 'semantic publishing' 

 

>>As anything that enhances the meaning of a published journal article,
facilitates its automated discovery, 

 

>>enables its linking to semantically related articles, 

 

>>provides access to data within the article in actionable form, or
facilitates integration of data between papers. 

 

Among other things, it involves 

 

>>enriching the article with appropriate metadata that are amenable to
automated processing and analysis, 

 

>>allowing enhanced verifiability of published information and 

 

>>providing the capacity for automated discovery and summarization.

 

These semantic enhancements increase the intrinsic value of journal
articles, by increasing the ease by which information, understanding and
knowledge can be extracted.

 

They also enable the development of secondary services that can
integrate information between such enhanced articles, ... .

"Web-based Journal Manuscript Management and Peer-Review Systems and
Services," Library Hi Tech News 19, no. 7 (August 2002): 31-43.

 

In recent years, a variety of experimental and commercial systems have
been developed that facilitate the management and review of scholarly
manuscripts for electronic and paper publication. Among the established
and recent Web-based systems are:

 

AllenTrack

Bench>Press

EdiKit(sm)

ESPERE

Journal Assistant

Manuscript Central

Rapid Review 

 

For each, a brief overview is provided, as is a outline of the features
and functionalities of the system/service, contact information, Web
site, and vendor. In addition, a listing of select journals that are
published using a respective software/system are also listed within each
profile.
