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, 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.
