The Xml Journal Submission System: A Blend Of Change Sholeh Arastoopoor, Ph.D. Department of Evaluation and Collection Development Regional Information center for Science and Technology (RICeST) arastoopoor@gmail.com
2
Journal Submission Systems Benefits Reducing the work load Standardizing the process Makes the information coherent and homogeneous Added value Makes further analysis/ manipulation possible Their out put can automatically processed Their out put can be used in different systems simultaneously (facilitated interaction).
3
Journal Submission Systems (Cont.) Limitations Sometimes they are complicated The data entry task might be time consuming The data entry should be precise Challenges Their maintenance is an ongoing process There are always new users and they have to be taught how to use the system They are not always that user friendly
4
ISC Why? Region dependent, thus more specific More visibility, which leads to more use The higher the usage, the higher the IF The higher IF, leads to more willingness for authors
5
ISC Journal Submission System For a bout 3 years Semi-Automatic journal submission system Ever increasing work load A good knowledgebase for migrating Keeping up with technological trends and standards AND NOW WE HAVE The XML Journal Submission System (β)

Sends the XML files to ISC database Gives a copy of XML files to the operator
21
What would be the difference? Work load Currently about 5 hours a day just for the data entry This means: Min. 100 hours a month Min. 1200 h. a year NOW … It’s gone WHY?
23
XML sample
24
XML sample (cont.)
25
This means (from a minimalistic point of view) From a system’s view Better system interaction Standard work-flows Multi-purpose outputs From our view Faster indexing Faster online visibility Faster use Further use of XML files
26
What would be in near future? To develop the Arabic Interface To interact with other systems SCOPUS ISI Better interaction with journals Those who generate their own XML files Those who cannot generate their XML files
