XML, JATS & SciELO Production Support
Technical XML production and validation for scholarly journals: JATS markup to the SciELO Publishing Schema, package verification, metadata correction, and honest guidance through the deposit workflow.
- JATS / SPS conformance
- Validation report with every package
- Single articles to full backfiles
What we deliver
Technically correct packages, documented
XML production is where editorial care meets technical precision. We produce, validate, and correct JATS packages so your team can focus on the journal — not the schema.
Package validation
Structural and stylistic validation of XML packages, with errors identified, explained, and corrected.
Metadata review
Affiliations, contributor data, funding statements, references, and licensing metadata checked and corrected.
Error remediation
Rejected or flagged packages diagnosed and fixed — including encoding, asset naming, and reference markup issues.
Full-issue batches
Complete issues or backfile batches prepared and verified article by article before deposit.
Documented handover
Each package is delivered with a verification report, so your team knows exactly what was checked and changed.

Process
How it works
-
Send your material
Share the typeset articles (PDF/Word/InDesign exports) or the existing XML package that needs review.
-
Technical assessment
We map the work needed — markup, correction, or validation — and reply with a quote within one business day.
-
Production & checks
Markup and metadata are produced and validated, with a verification pass before anything reaches you.
-
Delivery & support
You receive the validated package and verification report, with support through the deposit process.
Confidentiality & quality
Confidential, careful, and honest
- Your files are handled confidentially, used only for the contracted service, and never shared outside the editorial team working on your project.
- Quotes are based on a technical assessment of scope — never a flat guess — and confirmed with you before any work begins.
- We prepare the language and presentation of your work; editorial decisions belong to journals and their reviewers. We will never promise acceptance — and we advise caution with anyone who does.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which standards do you work with?
JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) and the SciELO Publishing Schema (SPS), including the associated validation tools and packaging conventions used in SciELO production workflows.
Our package was rejected by the validator. Can you fix it?
Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we take. We diagnose the errors, explain what caused them, correct the package, and revalidate it before returning it with a report of what changed.
Do you handle full issues or only single articles?
Both. We produce single articles, complete issues, and backfile batches. Larger volumes are quoted per article with a schedule agreed in advance.
Does your service guarantee acceptance into SciELO?
No. Indexing and acceptance decisions belong to SciELO and its committees. Our service ensures your XML packages are technically correct and conformant with the required schema — a necessary condition, not a sufficient one.
Can you work inside our existing production workflow?
Yes. We adapt to your tools, naming conventions, and schedule, and deliver in whatever structure your deposit process requires.
How is journal content kept confidential?
Files are handled confidentially, used only for the contracted service, and never shared outside the team working on your packages — including unpublished, embargoed material.
