Description
Session 3: “What works best for you? Trying and assessing training material for technical publication standards”
WP3 of CRAFT-OA is developing new training material in Task 3.3 (running until June 2025) and is seeking your input: During this interactive session, we will look into different training materials that address technical publication standards. You will get the opportunity to work on selected materials on a variety of topics. As a conclusion of the session we are asking for your feedback on training formats and topics that fit your needs in order to inform the next phase of the task. No prior knowledge is required; we are particularly interested in your personal impressions and local contexts to develop suitable material. If possible, please bring your own devices to be able to explore material individually.
Session 4: Automated Conversion to JATS XML: A hands-on workshop
In this workshop, we will introduce the stand-alone technical support for the automatic conversion of articles to the JATS XML format, developed within the Portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals HRČAK. This automatic conversion service is planned to be available to all European journals. The availability of such services is expected to encourage publishing in the JATS XML format by significantly reducing the time and resources required for its creation.
Participants will have the opportunity to trial the automated conversion tool, facilitated by SRCE, which enables conversion from formats such as DOCX to JATS XML. The workshop will cover the fundamental structure and benefits of JATS XML, along with strategies for optimizing articles to ensure efficient automated conversion. Additionally, there will be discussions on the future development and sustainability of this tool.
