PLoS Currents: Key features
• Registration: Articles are date-stamped and citable• Certification: Reviewed by expert researchers• Dissemination: All content is open access• Preservation: Archived at PubMed Central
“The key goal of PLoS: Currents is to accelerate scientific discovery by allowing researchers to share their latest findings and ideas immediately with the world's scientific and medical communities.” – Harold Varmis (http://blogs.plos.org/plos/2009/08/a-new-website-for-the-rapid-sharing-of-influenza-research/)
PLoS:Currents – review workflow
1. Editor selects reviewers 2. Reviewers enter comments
3. Approved content published to Knol and PubMed Central
PLoS:Currents limitations
• DTD/Structural conformance has been a challenge• Manual fixes to markup
• No import of existing content (compilations, re-use)
• Single-source hosting – features, workflow, etc. cannot be brought in-house or modified
• Limited output/formatting options
6
Annotum v1.0 Objective
• Develop a simple, robust, easy-to-use authoring system to create and edit scholarly articles using JATS*
*Actually, Kipling, a subset of the NLM Journal publishing DTD version 3.0, http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/ncbi/kipling/
• Out of scope: • Replace all other print/online journals, tools, systems• Solve all issues with XML / JATS conformance
7
Annotum: goals for v1.0
• Produce peer-reviewed journals online• Collaboratively create content in the NLM DTD• Address key limitations of the Knol toolset:
• DTD conformance (enforcement) and XML import/export• Support for rich designs and additional output formats
• Provide flexible hosting options via open source code• Publications should be inexpensive (or free) to host/export• System should require minimal technical skills to install,
configure, operate, and maintain.
8
Annotum: Project Approach
• Based on WordPress• Rich network of designers, developers, and add-on services• Simple to self-install and administer• Stable, scalable, wide adoption – many millions of blogs• Alternatives: too expensive, too proprietary, too limited or too
complex (OJS, eXtyles, Drupal)
• Authoring tools: tables, equations, citations, figures• Simple review workflow with pre- and post-review comments (public and non-public)
• Robust presentation options: web, pdf, JATS XML
