Fluid Article Production: Using AI to Automate XML Creation

Embarking on the journey towards a seamless centralized workflow anchored in XML has long been the aspiration of scholarly journal production. However, the pivotal question lies in defining the starting point in this intricate publishing landscape. True innovation in journal article production necessitates the initiation of XML integration from the very moment a manuscript arrives—prior to peer review, copyediting, and composition. Yet, the challenge arises: how does one devise a system for automated XML conversion from Word files in the absence of control over file creation, and without imposing rigid templates or intricate instructions on authors?

Bridge the Gap: Integrate AI with Structured Content for Pharma Content Excellence

AI has been helping to speed up the drug discovery process for many years. Search the NLM’s PubMed repository and you’ll see thousands of examples of peer-reviewed published research on this topic with many predating chatGPT’s release. While the research is keeping pace with advanced development in AI technologies, the document authoring and submission process that supports bringing new drugs to market is not maintaining the same pace. Combining the power of AI technologies with structured content authoring (SCA) can help close the loop, accelerating and improving content development alongside drug development. Watch this on-demand webinar from DCL and Content Rules.

Get More Value from Less Content
Did you know that one of the best things you can do for your customers is to create less content? Content teams who have not explicitly defined their content models typically end up creating excess content. This excess content costs the business time and money. It makes information hard to find, time-consuming to update, and expensive to translate. It also adds unwanted friction to the customer experience: it clutters up their search results and provides conflicting answers to their questions. You’d think AI would solve this. However...

Jagged Edges of Conversational Interfaces Over Scholarly and Professional Content

RAG solutions, when applied to scholarly literature, provide responses that often appear expert level in their accuracy and usefulness. However, RAG solution performance is not equal across all tasks, leading to a phenomenon known as “jagged edges,” where technology’s gaps become apparent. These gaps stem from intrinsic limitations in LLMs and specific implementations of RAG patterns. In a recent post on The Scholarly Kitchen, Silverchair CTO Stuart Leitch examined those "jagged edges" to help publishers understand the current limitations.

XML File Format Levels Educational Playing Field for Visually Impaired

It was nearly 20 years ago that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 was passed and enabled students with visual disabilities the same access to educational materials as their sighted peers.
