Simplifying the Scientific Writing and Review Process with Sciflow
Future Internet 2010, 2, 645-661; doi:10.3390/fi2040645 OPEN ACCESS future internet ISSN 1999-5903 www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet Article Simplifying the Scientific Writing and Review Process with SciFlow Frederik Eichler and Wolfgang Reinhardt ? Computer Science Education Group, University of Paderborn, Fuerstenallee 11, 33102 Paderborn, Germany; E-Mail: [email protected] ? Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-5251-60-6603; Fax: +49-5251-60-6336. Received: 13 September 2010; in revised form: 30 November 2010 / Accepted: 2 December 2010 / Published: 6 December 2010 Abstract: Scientific writing is an essential part of a student’s and researcher’s everyday life. In this paper we investigate the particularities of scientific writing and explore the features and limitations of existing tools for scientific writing. Deriving from this analysis and an online survey of the scientific writing processes of students and researchers at the University of Paderborn, we identify key principles to simplify scientific writing and reviewing. Finally, we introduce a novel approach to support scientific writing with a tool called SciFlow that builds on these principles and state of the art technologies like cloud computing. Keywords: scientific writing; survey; word processors; cloud computing 1. Introduction Scientific writing is an essential part of a student’s and researcher’s life. Depending on the particular field of study, papers have to be written and written assignments have to be handed in. As the end of studies approaches, most students are asked to prove their ability to work in a scientific manner by writing a thesis.

Open Architecture for Multilingual Parallel Texts M.T
Open architecture for multilingual parallel texts M.T. Carrasco Benitez Luxembourg, 28 August 2008, version 1 1. Abstract Multilingual parallel texts (abbreviated to parallel texts) are linguistic versions of the same content (“translations”); e.g., the Maastricht Treaty in English and Spanish are parallel texts. This document is about creating an open architecture for the whole Authoring, Translation and Publishing Chain (ATP-chain) for the processing of parallel texts. 2. Summary 2.1. Next steps The next steps should be: • Administrative organisation: create a coordinating organisation and approach the existing organisations that might cooperate; e.g., IETF, LISA, OASIS, W3C. • Public discussion: with an emailing list (or similar) to reach a rough consensus, in particular on aspects such as the required specifications. Organise the necessary meeting(s). • Tools: implement some tools. This might be done simultaneously with the public discussion to better illustrate the approach and support the discussion. 2.2. Best approaches To obtain the best quality, speed and the lowest possible cost (QSC) in the production of parallel texts, one should aim for: • Generating all the linguistic versions ready for publication, from linguistic resources. Probably one of the best approaches. • Seamless ATP-chain implementations. • Authoring: Computer-aided authoring (CAA) tools with a controlled authoring environment; it should deliver source texts prepared for translation. • Translation: Computer-aided translation (CAT) tools to allow translators to focus only in translating and unburden translators from auxiliary tasks such as formatting. These tools should have functionalities such as side-by-side editor and the re-use of previous translations. • Publishing: Computer-aided publishing (CAP) tools to minimise human intervention.

Preserving and Publishing Digital Content Using XML Workflows Trends & Essentials in Scholarly Publishing Jonathan McGlone University of Michigan Libraries, Michigan Publishing IN THIS CHAPTER Theme 3 Production streamlining Highlighted Services Online journal & monographs hosting and production Software/Platforms Utilized Drupal, DLXS, Adobe InDesign, Calibre Resources Example XML workflows n digital publishing, encoding documents in XML can produce several advantages for libraries that have invested in hosting and publishing Iservices or plan to in the future. XML workflows enable publishers to output content quickly and easily in several electronic formats (EPUB, HTML, PDF); repurpose content into other channels (catalogs, websites, databases, printers); automate processes; scale their services and publications; and preserve the digital content for the future. Michigan Publishing (formerly known as MPublishing), the primary publishing unit of the University of Michigan and a part of its University Library, began encoding born-digital documents in SGML—and later XML— to publish journals and monographs in the late 1990s. Over time, Michigan Library Publishing Toolkit, ed. Allison P. Brown. 97 Geneseo: IDS Project Press, 2013. http://opensuny.org/omp/index.php/IDSProject/catalog/book/25 Publishing has established its own semi-automated XML workflow to achieve these ends in its work with a growing list of publishing partners. Today Michigan Publishing provides web-hosting and conversion services for over 20 active open access and subscription-based academic journals (http://www.publishing.umich.edu/publications/journals), the open access Digital Culture Book Series (http://www.digitalculture.org), and the open access imprint Open Humanities Press (http://openhumanitiespress.org/book-titles.html), among others.

1. Overview Scribe Is a Free Cross-Platform Note-Taking Program
1. Overview Scribe is a free cross-platform note-taking program designed especially with historians in mind. It is particularly useful for taking extensive archival research notes. Think of it as the next step in the evolution of traditional 3x5 note cards. Scribe allows you to record, organize, index, and search your notes (summaries, actual quotations, or your own thoughts) and sources (books, periodicals, artworks, interviews, letters, manuscripts, and others). NAVIGATION Click the Exit button in the upper right-hand corner to close windows and return to the Card or List view. Click the Quit button in the upper right-hand corner of the Card or List view to quit Scribe. Use Scribe menu bars at the top of each Scribe window to perform Scribe functions - most choices in the usual program menus (the top bar on your screen) are disabled. Type the Enter key of your numerical keyboard to tab through fields. MAIN FEATURES Create very long notes (up to 64,000 characters) Store published and archival sources (up to 22 types of sources) Create, print, and export bibliographies Copy footnote and parenthetical references to clipboard in Chicago or MLA format Import sources from online catalogs (one at a time only) Index note and source cards using a large number of keywords Add extended comments on each card in a separate field Search notes and sources by author, title, archive, keyword, note, comments, and other fields Perform word search: find and highlight a specific word in the note Link sources to notes Link sources and notes to images Create cross-reference links between cards Create an outline and link it to cards Create a timeline and link it to cards Create a glossary for your project BASIC UNITS IN SCRIBE: Database - One or more files made of records, used to enter, update, find, sort, print, and export data.
