The editor powering

A real manuscript editor in the submission workflow — authors write with structure from the first draft, and clean, standards-aligned JATS comes out the other side. Here's the interface, and what each part does.

Structured publishing, from the first draft 1

Authors write with real headings, citations and figures — so the article is machine-readable from day one, not reconstructed from a formatted file at the end (Melville, 2018) 3.

figure · drag-drop or Insert

Figure 1. Every figure carries a caption and alt text, and exports as a JATS <fig>. 4

Methods

Each block is a typed element — part, heading, paragraph, figure, table. With the Math capability on, equations render inline and export as MathML:

(1)

x = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4 a c}}{2 a}

One structured source, three parts. The editor owns the <body>; the <front> title & authors come from OJS, SciFlow or another system; and the <back> reference list assembles itself from your citations.

Structure, not formatting

Pick Heading / Paragraph / Part — you tag meaning, the editor keeps the document valid.

Insert menu

Figures, tables, citations, equations and links — the building blocks of a structured article.

Live citations

Inline references pulled from the submission's library; renumber and format on export.

Figures & tables

Captioned, alt-texted, and emitted as proper JATS <fig> / <table-wrap>.

Every block is typed

The Selected-element panel shows what you're in and its attributes — the JATS structure, made visible.

Outline & references

Navigate long articles and manage citations without leaving the page.

Turn on what you need

Enable a capability — Math, chemistry, code, cross-refs — and its plugin loads. With Math on, equations render here and export as MathML.
