Scholarly publishing

From article to digital publication.

SiteFusion already delivers fully implemented solutions for scholarly publishing. Structured editing with Fonto, collaboration through Fonto Review, JATS XML content, PDF output and digital exports work together in one connected process. Scholarly publishers, learned societies and editorial teams can coordinate content, quality and publication on a shared platform.

  • Create and maintain media-neutral JATS content
  • Manage editorial review and approval within the workflow
  • Serve PDF and digital channels from one content source

JATS: structure for scholarly articles.

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) describes scholarly articles in XML. Titles, abstracts and contributor details are structured alongside sections, figures, tables and references. Content and meaning remain independent of layout. A shared data foundation supports processing for different publication channels and exchange with other systems.

Work on content with Fonto.

Authors and editors work on articles in an interface aligned with the JATS structure, without needing XML expertise for editorial work. SiteFusion connects each document with its assets, metadata and production tasks. The JATS profile and editorial rules are aligned with your journals and article types.

Fonto Review: feedback in context.

With Fonto Review, contributors comment directly on content, and editors can address and resolve feedback in Fonto Editor. SiteFusion embeds correction rounds and approvals in role-based workflows. Scientific assessment, such as peer review in an existing submission system, is connected through project-specific responsibilities and handovers.

PDF and digital channels from one source.

Approved JATS content is used to generate PDFs through defined typesetting rules and templates. Digital exports deliver content and metadata to publishing platforms and other connected channels. Editorial changes feed back into the same content source. Layouts, export profiles and destination requirements are defined during implementation.

Metadata helps readers discover research.

Contributors, affiliations, abstracts and keywords are integral to scholarly articles. Persistent identifiers such as DOI and ORCID, together with funding and licence information, also matter. The project defines which details are maintained, checked and delivered to destination systems, supporting reliable attribution, citation and digital discovery.

Open standards for long-term use.

Media-neutral XML supports both open-access and subscription publications. Repositories, archives and publishing platforms require complete assets and metadata alongside the appropriate JATS profile and delivery rules. SiteFusion brings these requirements together in the agreed production and export process.
