Getting an article ready to publish is slow and repetitive

01

Endless copy-paste

Authors, affiliations, bilingual abstracts and references are retyped from Word into OJS, one by one.

02

Hand-built XML and PDF

Layout, page numbering and JATS XML are produced across several tools, and mistakes creep in.

03

Scattered metadata

Issue, DOI, pages, received/revised/accepted dates and ISSN are filled in manually for every article.

One flow, from the author’s DOCX to a publication-ready galley

Everything a journal editor needs

Built from real OJS journal practice and tested on three Ruang Ide journals (JPMKT, JKMD, JHSNS).

Available

Smart DOCX import

Reads the author template or any DOCX: title, authors, affiliations, bilingual abstracts, sections, tables, images and references. Zotero/Mendeley Word-plugin citations are read automatically.

Available

Per-journal template profiles

Margins, columns, fonts, header/footer, abstract word limits and keyword rules follow each journal’s guidelines. JPMKT, JKMD and JHSNS profiles are built in.

Available

Office-style visual editor

A familiar ribbon: tables, images, LaTeX → MathML equations, footnotes, numbered or APA citations, and version history.

Available

JATS XML 1.2 + validator

XML is shown right in the browser, with epub/ppub ISSN, publisher and structure checks before you upload.

Available

Print-ready PDF & HTML

A4 PDF matching the journal profile and an HTML galley. No more formatting in other tools.

Available

Automatic OJS sync

OJS 3.x through REST; token-less access through standard OAI-PMH (tested on OJS 3.5, older versions not yet tested). Hourly scheduled sync.

Available

Automatic data enrichment

Affiliations, bilingual abstracts, keywords, corresponding email, dates and references pulled from article pages, PDFs or JATS attachments.

Coming soon

Automatic metadata

Issue, running page numbers, DOI following the journal’s pattern, received/revised/accepted dates, corresponding author and license.

Available

Zotero, Mendeley, Crossref

Import RIS, BibTeX, CSL-JSON and verify DOIs against Crossref to catch fake or mistyped references.

Available

Import from the OJS workflow

Paste an OJS workflow URL; authors, abstract and the DOCX from Files for Review are fetched (via a service account).

Available

Team & per-journal access

How it works

Connect your journal

Paste your OJS journal URL. The app detects the version and picks REST or OAI-PMH.

Import the manuscript

Upload a DOCX, or paste an OJS workflow URL. Authors and references are read in.

Edit & check

Polish it in the editor, fill metadata automatically, see the readiness score and JATS validation.

Publish

Download JATS XML, PDF and HTML. You only pay when the article is published.

Frequently asked questions

When does an article count as “published”?

When you mark the manuscript as Published in Jurnal Manager (or produce the final galley). It is counted once per manuscript; downloading again or revising adds no cost.

Do I have to use OJS?

Not to edit and export, but sync, enrichment and workflow import are designed for OJS 3.x (REST) and use standard token-less OAI-PMH for other versions (tested on OJS 3.5; OJS 2.x not yet tested).

Is my OJS data safe?

The app only reads from OJS. Tokens stay on the server and never reach the browser, and passwords are hashed. Access is limited per journal and important actions are logged.

Can galleys be written back to OJS?

Today you download JATS XML, PDF and HTML and upload them. Automatic write-back through an OJS plugin is on the roadmap.

What about journals other than Ruang Ide?

OJS version detection, OAI/REST sync, article-page enrichment and PDF reading have also been tested on other institutions’ OJS journals. Custom template profiles can be added for your journal.

How do I pay?

By QRIS through SumoPod Pay (going live soon). Until payments are live, usage is recorded and you are billed after the free allowance.

Is there an English version?

Yes. This whole page and the documentation are available in Indonesian and English, and international pricing is US$1 per article.

Who is behind this?

It grew out of the real needs of Ruang Ide, the publisher of JPMKT, JKMD and JHSNS.
