LiXuid Manuscript™

Revolutionary XML workflow feature to streamline the production process

Ask A Specialist

LiXuid Manuscript is a revolutionary Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® feature that includes a suite of tools that leverage XML to streamline the production process for publishers. LiXuid enables XML import from a publisher-preferred vendor and XML export directly from a revolutionary XML direct editing tool, reducing 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.

XML Editing Tool

A single document that always includes the most recent edits – no more confusion surrounding which is the “final” version of the document

User-friendly and intuitive word processor-like environment that hides XML and makes edits a breeze

Content experts directly edit content themselves while XML automatically updates behind the scenes

System-contained data results in cleaner, more accurate metadata

Clearly displayed change tracking and configurable Author queries

More easily enforced business policies, for example the ability to prevent Authors from submitting corrections until all queries have been addressed, if desired

Ability for each journal to designate citation style, control Author view and access, and much more using a workflow and journal-style agnostic editing tool

Reduced errors and fewer rounds of edits between copyeditors, Authors, and production staff
