Abstract

A method includes, determining a target publication, identifying one or more content suggestions associated with the target publication, and causing a user to be prompted to input content. The input content satisfies at least a portion of the one or more content suggestions.

Claims (67)

1. A product comprising:

a computer readable medium other than a transitory signal; and

instructions stored on the computer readable medium, the instructions, when executed by a processor, configured to cause the processor to:

determine a target publication responsive to first subject matter of a project;

based on the target publication and the first subject matter, determine a guideline prompt for the project, the guideline prompt configured to aid a user to address a guideline for the target publication;

receive a response to the guideline prompt; and

responsive to second subject matter within the response to the guideline prompt:

determine natural language text that incorporates the second subject matter for inclusion into the project; and

determine whether to change the guideline prompt to the user.

2. The product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the processor to semantically analyze the response to the guideline prompt determine the second subject matter.

3. The product of claim 2 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform a text match search to semantically analyze the response to the guideline prompt.

4. The product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the processor to determine another target publication for the project responsive to the second subject matter.

5. The product of claim 1 , wherein the guideline comprises an identification of a compulsory section for the target publication.

6. The product of claim 5 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the processor to:

store at least of portion of the project as a text block associated with the compulsory section; and

format the text block according to a formatting guideline for the target publication.

7. The product of claim 1 , wherein the guideline comprises a formatting rule for the target publication.

8. The product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause deployment of a virtual server, the virtual server configured to establish a browser session with a client device, the client device associated with the user.

9. The product of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the processor to:

determine that the first subject matter comprises unsupported subject matter;

responsive to the unsupported subject matter determine a reference; and

generate a prompt configured to suggest the reference to the user.

10. A method comprising:

at host server circuitry in data communication with a client device via a network interface:

determining a target publication for a project;

responsive to the target publication, determining a guideline prompt for the project, the guideline prompt configured to aid a user in addressing a guideline for the target publication;

causing a display, at the client device, of the guideline prompt;

receiving, via the network interface, a response to at least the individual one of the prompts from the client device;

semantically analyzing the response to determine subject matter; and

responsive to the subject matter:

determining a natural language text block that incorporates the subject matter for inclusion into the project; and

determining whether to change to the guideline prompt for the user.

11. The method of claim 10 , determining a change to the set of prompts comprises:

determining the subject matter comprises unsupported subject matter; and

responsive to the unsupported subject matter, generating a reference prompt configured to suggest provision of a supporting reference.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein generating a reference prompt comprises:

determining a matching reference to support the subject matter; and

adding the matching reference to the reference prompt as a suggested reference.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

detecting a reference within the project; and

generating a reference prompt configured to alert the user that the reference is out-of-date.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein determining whether to change to the guideline prompt comprises determining another target publication for the project.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the guideline comprises a template of a basic article structure for the target publication.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the guideline prompt comprises a request for input for a section of the template.

17. A system, comprising:

network interface circuitry configured to:

establish a first communication link with a publication server; and

establish a second communication link with a client device; and

host server circuitry in data communication with the network interface circuitry, the host server circuitry configured to:

determine a target publication for a project, the target publication associated with the publication server;

access a compulsory guideline defined for the target publication, the compulsory guideline defining an automatic ground for rejection from the target publication;

analyze the project to determine whether the compulsory guideline has been addressed;

when the compulsory guideline has not been addressed:

cause, via the second communication link, a display of a suggestion prompt configured to suggest a third party action to address the compulsory guideline; and

when the compulsory guideline has been addressed:

cause, via the second communication link, a display of an indication that the project has met the compulsory guideline; and

cause, via the second communication link, a display of a request prompt configured to request permission to submit the project to the target publication; and

responsive to reception of permission to submit the project, cause the network interface circuitry to transmit at least a first portion of the project to the publication server via the first communication link.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein:

the compulsory guideline comprises a grammatical accuracy guideline; and

the third party action comprises submission of a portion of the project to a manuscript editing service.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein:

the compulsory guideline comprises a peer review requirement; and

the third party action comprises submission of at least a second portion of the project for review by an outside reviewer.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the host server circuitry is further configured to:

after transmission of the first portion of the project, receive a review indication from the publication server; and

responsive to the review indication, submit at least a second portion of the project for review by an outside reviewer.
