LiXuid Manuscript™

XML workflow feature to streamline the production process

Ask A Specialist

LiXuid Manuscript is a revolutionary Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® feature comprised of a suite of tools that leverage XML to streamline the production process for publishers. LiXuid Manuscript’s current toolkit includes an innovative, journal style-agnostic direct XML editing tool which reduces costs, errors and time to publication, while improving the overall user experience for Authors and production staff.

LiXuid Manuscript introduces additional improvements to the production workflow including quality assurance on XML using Schematron, transformation from XML into print and other presentation formats using eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT), and metadata injection directly from ProduXion Manager into article XML including digital object identifiers (DOIs) and volume and issue numbers.
