Editor's Notes
- I am very much convinced you will enjoy it!!
- The platform is first of its kind to put all different and complex stages of the publishing process into a SINGLE ONLINE COLLABORATIVE SPACE!
- All this is possible thanks to our own journal publishing platform called ARPHA – Archiving, Reviewing, Publishing, Hosting and Archiving – AGAIN, all in one place, for the first time!
- But let’s now see how it works! First we press on the Start a manuscript button on the journal’s website. Note, it is Start a manuscript, not Submit a manuscript
- Select the journal
- … and then select one of the pre-filtered article templates available for BioDiscovery, which could be (read 3-5) and so on
- It is as easy as to type a name and the search field and click on it
- But you can invite also other contributors, who are not coauthors, for example, it couold be your mentor, potential reviewer, linguistic editor or just a colleague of yours – similar to how manuscripts are discussed at departmental, meetings before submission to a journal. NOW you can do it online, just as we do it in Google Docs, for example. The contributors WON’T be listed as coauthors.
- This is another unique feature of our tool – you can search across multiple databases and when you click on the desired title, it will go into your reference list!
- Just put the cursor in the text and select the desired figure or reference to be cited
- Just put the cursor in the text and select the desired figure or reference to be cited
- Saves a lot of time for the authors, reviewers and editors!
- Click on any of the links and the tool will bring you to the place to correct
- A very useful and convenient comments & reply interface which works during all authoring, reviewing and editing process!
- Nominated reviewers are expected to agree to review within a promised deadline; the panel reviewers are only informed about a manuscript in review but they are not committed to provide a review. Just because they do not commit, very often they DO the review, simply because they are interested in the manuscript!
- A TRULY Unique feature of ARPHA and BioDiscovery! Imagine how cumbersome is to check and consolidated reviews provided in different files! In ARPHA it will be done for you by the system! The editors can filter the reviews or see these together into a single online version. And do not forget, the authors could not re-submit a revised version before they attend to ALL reviewer’s comments! They could agree or disagree with them, however they MUST resolve these!
- Two main panel of the semantic HTML version – left one with the main text and right one with semantic enrichments and additional information on the article!
- You may get some critical comments post-publication, but don’t worry! (next slide)
- One more really unique feature of ARPHA. Authors – and only the authors – can see a very special button next to their articles. By pressing on it, the published text will be converted back into editing mode! The authors can easily – verify easily! – correct/amend and publish an updated version under a new DOI, which will be linked to the DOI(s) of the previous version(s) via the CrossMark service of CrossRef
- Why XML (machine-readable) version of each article is important? Thanks to it we were able to import all previously published articles into their semantic HTMl versions on the new websites!
- PR for science is of crucial importance for the promotion of your results!
