Eliminating Typesetting Chokepoints with Automated JATS XML Ingestion
A complete transformation of author manuscript conversion into NISO JATS XML 1.3 standards, generating publication-ready proofs, Crossref DOI deposits, and PubMed Central packages automatically.
The Operational Challenge
Outsourced manual composition vendors charged high per-page fees and introduced recurring 3-week turnaround delays for basic typographical corrections and XML tag validations.
The Manna Solution & Architecture
Deployed Manna automated JATS XML composition engine, converting raw docx submissions directly into semantic XML, validating Crossref citations, and outputting synchronized PDF and HTML proofs in hours.
Key Measurable Outcomes
- Reduced typesetting cycle time from 21 business days to less than 4 hours per article.
- Cut external vendor composition costs by over 70% in the first fiscal year.
- Automated deposits to Crossref, DOAJ, and PubMed Central with zero manual re-entry.
“Our authors are amazed to see camera-ready proofs generated in hours rather than weeks. Manna elevated our university press into an agile, modern scholarly publisher.”
