Inera Inc., a provider of editorial and XML software for scholarly and technical publishers, has announced the release of eXtyles Metadata Extraction Technology, designed to integrate with manuscript submission systems, preprint servers, repositories, and STM production workflows to accurately identify and mark up metadata from unstructured text in author-supplied Word files.
eXtyles Metadata Extraction Technology simplifies the process of ingesting Word manuscripts. Instead of requiring authors to manually enter article metadata into multiple complex forms, a time-consuming and error-prone process, eXtyles uses artificial intelligence to analyse the document, extract the article title, author names, affiliations, abstract, keywords, and bibliographic references, and convert this metadata into richly tagged JATS XML. This XML can then be ingested into a database in parallel with the manuscript, significantly shortening submission times for authors.
eXtyles Metadata Extraction Technology automatically accounts for wide variations and inconsistencies in how authors prepare manuscripts, identifying and marking up metadata with a high degree of accuracy in a broad range of situations. For busy editorial offices, automatic extraction of accurate metadata at the submission stage means less staff time spent on cross-checking and correcting metadata at later stages of the publication workflow.
The combination of shorter submission times and greater metadata accuracy adds up to a better experience for authors, reviewers, and editorial and production staff, and directly addresses how publishers can focus on meeting the goals of the Metadata 2020 initiative.
