What needed to be solved?
The editorial team needed an organised archive, individual articles extracted from complete issues, and one system for preparing future publications.

The editorial team needed an organised archive, individual articles extracted from complete issues, and one system for preparing future publications.
We built a tailored interface, an issue-splitting tool and a publishing workspace. Saving a Word file triggers a template-based PDF on the server and links it to the article. Covers, contents and article pages are assembled into a single file.
The 30 September handover audit recorded 5 issues and 331 published articles. Public PDF viewing and downloads were verified for all 72 articles in the new issue.
Three workflows. One purpose:
return editorial time to the content.
Upload an issue. The system identifies article boundaries and metadata. Review the result and add it to the journal archive.
In practice: AlfraganusThe original PDF layout is preserved. Uncertain metadata and duplicates are flagged for review.
The current articles and their order produce a cover, clickable contents and a combined PDF.
In practice: Philology and PedagogyThe editorial team starts assembly. The file is checked and approved before public release.
Once a manuscript in a compatible template is saved, the server creates a PDF and links it to the article. The browser can be closed.
In practice: Philology and PedagogyThe process stops when data does not match. Publication remains the editorial team’s decision.
Articles, issues, users and editorial roles are core journal-system capabilities. Wick’s additions include the publishing workspace, Word workflow, adapted imports and a tailored interface.
The Word workflow has been tested with compatible templates. Complex documents may need editing. The editorial team initiates issue assembly and retains review and approval before publication.
