  1. RIOJA APIs and Demos Antony Lewis Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge http://cosmologist.info/

  2. Technical Objectives • Develop open API for communication between repositories and journals (AL) • Develop software for hosting overlaid journals using the API(outsourced to MetaOme in Bangalore, overseen by AL) • Demonstrate journal software using API implemented on arXiv.org repository(arXiv API implementation by Simeon Warner) • Develop version of ePrints repository software for to make complete open source package for any subject area(still in progress by MetaOme) Software development costs ~ £4000 + AL time+ OJS-developed Latex plugin ~ £200+ web hosting ~ £200/year

  3. RIOJA APIs API Journal Repository Paper metadata Author authentication Integrated submission Publication status

  4. Specific issues • Paper version tracking- only a specific version of the paper on the repository will be “published” • Science-specific issues like handling of equations • Options for publication of referee reports and open comments

  5. Journal Software • Based on Open Journal Systems (OJS)http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs • Submission via repository ID • Continuous publication and simplifications(no issues, print version, subscriptions..) • Modifications for easier workflow management (keywords) • Open SourceRIOJA version available at http://arxivjournal.org/rioja/ Flash submission demo available at http://arxivjournal.org/rioja/Editorial/Referee system demo on request.

  6. Conclusions • Software and API infrastructure now mostly in place- academics who want to run journals covering costs themselves can do so • Make any number of journals based on any number of repositories in any subject areas • Aim to have suite of open source software for easily setting up repositories and journals • Some work still to do- support for metadata with equations, latex display, referee report publication, options for different ways of handling copyediting • Then just need some good editors and a small amount money… Test site: http://arxivjournal.org/ Source code and information: http://arxivjournal.org/rioja API specification:http://cosmologist.info/xml/APIs.html Volunteers to help testing very welcome!
