Our Challenge

Automating Academic Publishing Workflows

EAI partnered with DevStudio360 team to implement an automated PDF processing and metadata extraction system. The solution reduced manual processing time by 80%, improved metadata accuracy to 99.5%, and cut publication delays from 4 weeks to 3 days

  • Publication Delays: 4-week backlog in proceedings publication
  • Compliance Risks: Frequent formatting issues with CrossRef/PubMed submissions

Proposed Solution

As an IT consulting and support provider, we implemented a phased approach:

  • System Architecture

    1. Automated Ingestion Layer
    • OJS API integration for paper retrieval
    • PostgreSQL database for metadata management
    1. Processing Engine
    • PDF-to-JSON conversion via NLP API
    • AI-based content classification (text, figures, tables)
    • Automated validation checks
    1. Output Generation
    • JATS-standard XML for compliance
    • Bulk export to publishing platforms
    • Automated error reporting
