Open Typesetting Stack (PKP XML Parsing Service)

The Open Typesetting Stack (formerly the PKP XML Parsing Service: sourcecode, beta site) converts Word documents to NLM DTD 3.0 XML, HTML, and PDF using meTypeset and other tools. As of April 2015, it's in beta, with metadata parsing disabled because of poor results. A plugin is being developed for Open Journal Systems (OJS) that will call this service. For more information, see a paper presented at JATS-Con 2015.

Editing Tools

JATS Framework for oXygen XML Editor

Users of oXygen XML Editor and oXygen XML Author can now install support for current versions of NISO JATS (and as a bonus, NLM BITS). Based on a Formal Public Identifier given in a DOCTYPE declaration, oXygen will detect that you are editing a JATS document and provide stylesheets and utilities.

Find the framework at https://github.com/wendellpiez/oXygenJATSframework

Documentation is here: https://github.com/wendellpiez/oXygenJATSframework/wiki

Or skip the page and download a copy directly: https://github.com/wendellpiez/oXygenJATSframework/archive/master.zip. Unzip it and drop the JATS folder into the frameworks folder of your oXygen installation.

Preview Tools

JATS Preview Stylesheets

code on GitHub

The JATS Preview Stylesheets are a series of .xsl, .xpl, .css, and .sch files that will create .html or .pdf versions of valid NISO Z39.96-2012 JATS 1.0 files. The primary purpose of the stylesheets is to support version 1.0 of the Publishing ("blue") tag set of JATS, but they will also work on data valid to JATS 1.0 Authoring ("orange"). Additionally, the stylesheets will work with versions 3.0 and 2.3 of NLM Journal Publishing ("blue") or Authoring ("orange").

These stylesheets are not intended to create production ready files. They can be customized as needed to produce output for any aspect of a publishing system.

Tools to improve upon the existing documentation for the JATS tag library

Alternative Tag Library viewer

The NISO JATS 1.0 and 1.1d1 Tag Libraries have been ported into an alternative, user-friendly HTML viewer here:

Archiving and Interchange

Publishing

Article Authoring

Book Interchange Tag Suite (BITS)

See this page for the definitive, up-to-date list.

These pages use jatsdoc, which is also included as part of the DtdAnalyzer, meaning that you can easily produce documentation pages like this for your own JATS customizations.

Browser userscript TagLibPermalink

TagLibPermalink on GitHub

A small browser extension that will add a "permalink" to each of the JATS tag library documentation pages, making it much easier to bookmark specific pages in the documentation and to share links to them, getting around the problem caused by the pages being within frames. Tested for Firefox and Chrome. Instructions and a video are found at the link above.
