The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is utilising Sheridan's proprietary XML-based article workflow, Article Express™, for their industry-leading journal, Pediatrics.
Pediatrics is the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The monthly peer-reviewed publication is the most cited journal in the field and among the top 100 most-cited journals in all of science and medicine. It has been continuously published by the AAP since 1948.
ArticleExpress is Sheridan's new patent-pending workflow for STM publishers that replaces the traditional PDF-based article proof with a fully editable, browser-based, HTML proofing environment. In this new workflow, authors, editors, and publishers can easily review and directly edit article content in a browser application while still maintaining the structure of the underlying XML. In addition to reviewing and editing traditional article content, the HTML presentation allows authors to review online-only elements such as multi-media content, supplemental material, and a variety of linked elements.
ArticleExpress also includes a fully automated, XML-based composition system that produces a PDF for download and review, and final PDFs for print and online delivery. As changes to content are introduced, reviewed, and approved through the web-editing environment, the underlying XML is automatically updated, and revised PDF proofs are generated. So while traditional composition and proof review processes can get bogged down in rounds of proof correction and review, ArticleExpress streamlines the process completely, bringing published content to audiences more rapidly.
When AAP implemented the ArticleExpress workflow, they also launched a continuous publishing model, releasing final versions of every article as soon as they become available. Additionally, an Abstract Only print version of the publication is now available.
