Marcalyc: software for XML JATS tagging for open access scholarly journals published in Ibero-America
Main Article Content
Abstract
The transition of the scholarly journals to XML JATS is very recent. The proposal of Redalyc seeks to contribute to the sustainability of the Diamond Open Access publications, providing the editor with knowledge and technology. Marcalyc, is the software developed by Redalyc, available at no cost to the journals indexed by this system. It implements a model for XML markup and generates the following output formats: PDF, HTML, ePUB, intelligent reader and mobile reader. Currently, 1082 journals indexed by Redalyc have adopted XML JATS. These results represent a direct benefit for publisher institutions and one of the contributions of Redalyc to the Open Access initiative. This paper describes the methodology, design, development and results of Marcalyc.
