Feedback on Indico Editorial Module Development
Speakers: Ivan Andrian (ELETTRA)
An image is worth...
... a thousand words!
So, here you have:
Basic concepts
Roles
- Author - the author of the paper
- Editor - the person who will edit the paper (format) and apply eventual changes
- Author reception - the desk (at the conference) where authors can go to in case they need assistance;
- Admin - the person who has full management access to the paper editing workflow
Paper colour coding (status)
- Purple - Under review (editing)
- Green - Paper OK, possibly minor fixes in PDF only
- Red - Paper NOT OK, author has to upload a new version
- Yellow - The editor fixed the paper’s source, acceptance needed by the author
Editing phases
Phase 1
Files submitted by author and
tagged according to the format/type
- Different requirements for different contribution types, e.g.:
- talks will normally require paper + slides
- posters will require a PDF
- File types are then associated with weights to prioritise the assignment to editors
Phase 2
Files handled by the JACoW Fileserver
- A custom script is run, which does the embedding of fonts and cropping, using GhostScript
- Current planning of additional checks (e.g. on Word against the template - CAT scan docet)
Phase 3
Editing through a self-sevice Interface
- Editors request a paper to be assigned (semi-randomly or specific paper)
- Editors can filter by source type (e.g. only Word files) and/or platform (Macintosh)
- Administrators or the editor him/herself can then reassign the paper
- Assignment is transparent between editors (I can see what my fellow editors are currently assigned to)
Phase 4
File editing
- Acrobat, Pitstop, file hack, images...
- Possible exchanges/communication with the authors
Phase 5
Final QA - a second checking
- An editor cannot pick up a paper (s)he has already edited in the previous step
- Could result in the paper going back to the original editor and, eventually, the author
