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

1. A product comprising:

a computer readable medium other than a transitory signal; and

instructions stored on the computer readable medium, the instructions configured to, when executed;

process content of a project for first subject matter;

based on the first subject matter, determine a target publication for the project;

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

receive a response to at least an individual one of the prompts from the user;

process the response for second subject matter; and

responsive to the second subject matter, determine a change to the set of prompts for the user.

2. The product of claim 1, wherein the instructions are further configured to, when executed, semantically analyze the response to process the response for the second subject matter.

3. The product of claim 2, wherein the instructions are further configured to, when executed, perform a text match search to semantically analyze the response.

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

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

6. The product of claim 5, wherein the instructions are further configured to, when executed,

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 determine that the first subject matter comprises unsupported subject matter;

based on 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;

based on the target publication, determining a set of prompts for the project, the set of prompts configured to aid a user in addressing a guideline for the target publication;

causing a display, at the client device, of at least an individual one of the prompts to the user;

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

semantically analyzing the response to determine subject matter; and

responsive to the subject matter, determining a change to the set of prompts 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

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

12. The method of claim 11, wherein generating a reference prompt configured to suggest provision of a supporting reference 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, wherein:

the subject matter comprises a reference; and

determining the change to the set of prompts comprises generating a prompt configured to alert the user that the reference is out-of-date.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein determining a change to the set of prompts for the user 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 set of prompts 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 guideline associated with the target publication;

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

when the guideline has not been addressed, cause, via the second communication link, a display of a first prompt configured to suggest a third party action to address the guideline; and

when the guideline has been addressed;

cause, via the second communication link, a display of a second 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 a portion of the project to the publication server via the first communication link.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein:

the 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 guideline comprises a peer review requirement; and

the third party action comprises submission of a 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 portion of the project, receive a review indication from the publication server; and

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