Executive Summary: The 100% Free Sample Article Conversion tier allows academic journals and publisher editorial teams to test PubX's proprietary automated engine on a full research manuscript. PubX converts Word (.docx) documents into NLM JATS XML 1.2, responsive full-text HTML, structured JSON, and typeset PDF in under 5 minutes. Review evaluation eligibility, document standards, and volume production licensing below.
1. Complimentary Sample Article Conversion & Evaluation Criteria: PKPOJS provides one complimentary full-text sample article conversion for prospective academic journals, university presses, and scientific editorial boards. The purpose of this evaluation tier is to demonstrate automated conversion speed (sub-5-minute execution), tag precision, and multi-format galley output (JATS XML, HTML, JSON, PDF). Complimentary sample conversions are limited to one representative research manuscript per journal domain to verify compatibility before entering high-volume automated batch publishing agreements.
2. Source Document Quality, Input Formatting & MathML Guidelines: PubX utilizes advanced computational parsing algorithms optimized for Microsoft Word (.docx) and structured PDF documents. For optimal automated typesetting precision, source manuscripts should feature clearly identifiable heading hierarchies (Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion), standard academic citation styles (APA, IEEE, Harvard, Chicago, or Vancouver), and high-resolution embedded figures (minimum 300 DPI). Scientific equations formatted via MathType or native Word equation editors are converted natively to MathML XML standards. Hand-drawn diagrams or flattened image formulas may require supplementary editorial vectorization during commercial production setups.
3. JATS XML Compliance & Indexing Repository Standards: All XML files generated through the PubX engine strictly comply with the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite (JATS 1.2 / 1.3 DTD) standards. Generated XML packages satisfy all technical ingest specifications required by major international indexing repositories including PubMed Central (PMC), Scopus, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and Crossref. Full-text HTML galleys feature responsive typography, dark/light reading modes, and collapsible citation links ready for direct upload to OJS 3.x and OMP publication workflows.
4. Execution Turnaround SLA, High-Volume Quotas & Batch Production: While single-article automated sample conversions execute in under 5 minutes, recurring batch publishing, historical issue back-file conversions, and continuous automated webhook integrations for active journals operate under volume licensing agreements established after consultation. PKPOJS systems engineers configure automated OJS galley plugins and SFTP pipelines for journals with recurring monthly publication volumes. Enterprise publishing packages include automated DOI citation hyperlinking and priority queue scheduling.
5. Intellectual Property, Data Confidentiality & Independent Vendor Status: Authors and publisher clients retain 100% unconditional intellectual property rights and copyright over all submitted manuscripts, texts, illustrations, and datasets processed through the PubX engine. PKPOJS enforces strict non-disclosure agreements; documents submitted for sample conversion are processed in isolated encrypted memory pipelines and are never used for public training sets or shared with third parties. PubX is a proprietary publishing engine developed by PKPOJS Academic Solutions. PKPOJS operates independently of SciSpace, Typeset.io, and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). Terms and volume tier structures may be adjusted in accordance with computational infrastructure costs.
