Lemon8-XML is a web-based application designed to make it easier for non-technical editors and authors to convert scholarly papers from typical word-processor editing formats such as MS-Word .DOC and OpenOffice .ODT, into XML-based publishing layout formats. It provides the ability to edit document metadata such as the list of authors, as well as robust citation editing, checking and correction. Lemon8-XML is being developed as part of PKP's efforts to ensure that the latest web-based technologies are directed toward simultaneously decreasing the cost and effort of electronic publishing, as well as improving the quality and reach of scholarly communication. Lemon8-XML is a stand-alone system that will serve publishing processes more generally, as well as complement the workflow of Open Journal Systems.
