Annotum: An open-source authoring and publishing platform based on WordPress
The process of authoring, reviewing, and publishing scholarly articles remains an expensive, time-consuming process that can require significant up-front investment and technical expertise. Coupled with lengthy review processes this can create delays of up to a year before new scientific findings are published. Annotum, a new, open-source, open-access authoring publishing tool based on the WordPress content management system, builds on the earlier work of the Public Library of Science’s Currents publication and provides an easy-to use alternative to existing publishing systems that supports very rapid expert review and professional online publishing.
@martynblackburn1977 Not sure why you don’t see it work – please have a look at the video demo I posted today.
@SolvitorVideo The quote function doesn’t work. It’s just regular formatted text.
@martynblackburn1977 Blockquotes are a feature of the editing toolbar (look for the button with the large double quote symbol). We don’t support editing the html, since we must adhere to the XML DTD.
I’m not sure what you mean by “the footer in Annotum is missing”, but note that upon import comments are disabled for each article. To allow comments on each article, open the article in the editor (Dashboard > Articles > Click Title) and check the “Allow comments” box.
Any chance of being able to edit the code (in ‘articles’) using WordPress Annotum? For example, I might want to use a blockquote in the article in order to make a quotation ‘stand out’. WordPress does not allow this function in Annotum. Also at the moment the footer in Annotum is missing, and there is no way to create a ‘comments and feedback’ (much like a Guestbook) but instead one has to use a post or a comments form.
