Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing technique for editing a document in an electronic journal or the like.

  Conventionally, academic papers have been published through paper-based academic journals. Recently, however, papers are generally published in electronic journals on the Internet.

  By the way, in many cases, a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) that is an identifier for uniquely identifying each paper is given to a paper published on the Internet. DOI is a universal code system for indicating the location of a paper published on the Internet, and the original location of the paper can be specified without being affected by a change in URL or the like.

  Specifically, the DOI is a code such as “10.1039 / j29710000797”, and can be assigned not only to the unit of books and magazines but also to any unit such as chapters, papers, tables included in it. . By using this DOI, it is possible to access original data of a paper associated with the DOI.

When browsing original data of a paper using DOI, for example, crossref. In the Web page provided by org (Non-Patent Document 1), when a DOI is input into a text box for inputting a DOI and the search button is pressed, a URL associated with the DOI is acquired from the directory server, The original data of the paper can be accessed using the URL. In addition, the URL “http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/j29710000797” with the DOI added after the URL “http://dx.doi.org/” indicating the DOI directory server You can also access directly. The directory server manages the DOI and the URL where the original data of the paper specified by the DOI is associated with each other. Also, crossref. org also manages a database in which bibliographic information such as papers is associated with DOI.
“Crossref.org”, [online], [searched September 4, 2007], Internet <URL: http://www.crossref.org/>

  By the way, as described above, it is common for papers to be published in electronic journals on the Internet, and researchers' paper writing and browsing environments have changed compared to when paper journals were published. ing. However, the accuracy of the cited references in each paper is the same as before the digitization, and the author's description is still trusted. After receiving the manuscript of the manuscript and before publishing the manuscript, the editorial publisher verifies that there is no typographical error in the description of the cited document, and correcting it if necessary is a human viewpoint of the burden of verification. In addition, it is very difficult from the time point of view of peer review and publication schedule.

  In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a system capable of creating a check sheet based on a document described as a cited document in a manuscript document such as a paper. Another object of the present invention is to provide a system that automatically verifies whether there is a typographical error in the description of a cited document in a manuscript and points out the possibility of a typographical error to the contributor and prompts the correction. . Furthermore, the existence of a link to an electronic journal etc. of the cited document is automatically confirmed, and if the link exists, the link is embedded in the document manuscript and the document is used (publication, distribution, printing, etc.) The purpose is to be able to.

  In order to solve the above problems, an electronic journal editing system according to the present invention extracts a bibliographic information by extracting a bibliographic information from a receiving unit that receives a manuscript including text data and a cited document described in the manuscript received by the receiving unit. A search unit that searches a database based on the information and acquires identification information of a document corresponding to the bibliographic information, and a check sheet that associates the bibliographic information with the identification information for each cited document described in the manuscript. Check sheet creation means to create. The “database” here is a literature database connected to the electronic journal editing system via a network. For example, crossref. org and other databases.

  At this time, if the search means cannot acquire the identification information even if the search based on the bibliographic information is performed, the search means executes an ambiguous search using a search formula in which a part of the bibliographic information is changed, and tries to acquire the identification information. If the identification information can be obtained by fuzzy search, the location of an error is estimated based on the search formula used for the fuzzy search, and the check sheet creation means creates a check sheet that includes information on the location of the error. It is preferable.

  Further, it is preferable that the check sheet creation means creates link information for accessing the original data of the cited document using the identification information, and creates a check sheet in which the generated link information is embedded.

  Further, it is preferable that the check sheet creation means attaches the created check sheet to an e-mail and sends the e-mail to the poster contributor or author.

  Further, preferably, after the search means acquires identification information by searching using bibliographic information, the author name of the document identified by the identification information is compared with the author name described in the manuscript, Double check means for confirming whether or not there is an error in the description of the manuscript.

  More preferably, after the check sheet is created, link information for generating access to the original data of the cited document is generated using the identification information, and the link embedded for creating the electronic paper in which the generated link information is embedded in the manuscript. And an insertion means.

  Here, the bibliographic information preferably includes the journal name, publication year, volume, and page of the document.

  The document editing method of the present invention is a method in which a control unit edits a document in an electronic journal editing system including a control unit for controlling the operation or processing of the system. This method includes a step of receiving a manuscript including text data, extracting bibliographic information from cited references described in the accepted manuscript, searching a database based on the extracted bibliographic information, and a document corresponding to the bibliographic information. And a step of creating a check sheet in which bibliographic information is associated with identification information for each cited document described in the manuscript.

  The program of the present invention causes a computer to execute each step of the link generation method of the present invention. The program of the present invention can be installed or loaded on a computer through various recording media such as an optical disk such as a CD-ROM, a magnetic disk, or a semiconductor memory, or via a communication network.

  In this specification and the like, the means does not simply mean a physical means, but includes a case where the function of the means is realized by software. Further, the function of one means may be realized by two or more physical means, or the functions of two or more means may be realized by one physical means.

  According to the electronic journal editing system, a check sheet including bibliographic information and identification information can be created based on a document described as a cited document in a manuscript document such as a paper. By using the created check sheet, it is possible to confirm whether or not there is an error in the description of the cited document.

  In addition, according to the electronic journal editing system, it is automatically verified whether there is an error in the description of the cited document in the manuscript, and if there is a possibility of error, the information including the location of the error is included. You can point out to the contributors and encourage them to correct them. Thereby, when there is an error in the description of the cited document, there is an effect that it can be quickly corrected.

  Furthermore, according to the electronic journal editing system, the existence of a link to the electronic journal or the like of the cited document is automatically confirmed, and if the link exists, the link is embedded in the document manuscript, and then the document is deleted. It can be used (open, distributed, printed, etc.). In this way, since the document is published with the link embedded at the stage of publishing the document, the convenience of using the document is improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the entire system including an electronic journal editing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic journal editing system 10 is configured by connecting a document database server (document DB server) 20 and one or more user terminal devices 30 to each other via a network N. The

  The electronic journal editing system 10 includes a function of automatically embedding a link to a cited document included in electronic data of a manuscript submitted to the electronic journal (hereinafter referred to as “electronic document”), and a cited document. It is a computer system that has a function to create a report on the link of the link and send it to the paper contributor. Details will be described later.

  The document DB server 20 associates attribute information, which is metadata of an already published electronic paper, and identification information for identifying the electronic paper in association with each other in the document database (reference DB) 25 to manage the electronic paper. It is a computer server for searching the document DB 25 based on input of attribute information and outputting identification information associated with the attribute information. Here, the attribute information includes bibliographic information including the name of the journal (thesis journal), year of publication, volume and page, and various information (metadata) for uniquely identifying the electronic article such as the author name. It means part or all. The identification information is an identifier for uniquely specifying an already published electronic paper, and for example, a DOI (digital object identifier) is preferably used.

  It should be noted that the literature DB server 20 manages articles that have been converted into electronic data from papers published in electronic journals on the Internet, or papers published in paper journals. preferable. Specifically, crossref. A Web server that manages DOI such as org, a database server such as PubMed, and the like are applicable. A plurality of document DB servers 20 may be used in combination.

  The user terminal device 30 is a terminal device such as a personal computer (PC), a mobile phone, or a portable information terminal used by a paper contributor. The user terminal device 30 transmits an electronic manuscript to the electronic journal editing system 10 and a check sheet regarding the description of cited references. The function to receive. Preferably, a mailer for sending and receiving electronic mail is provided. In addition, it is preferable that a browser for browsing the Web site is provided so that an electronic paper published on the network N can be browsed.

  The network N is a communication line for transmitting and receiving information among the electronic journal editing system 10, the document DB server 20, and the user terminal device 30. For example, it may be any of the Internet, a LAN, a dedicated line, a packet communication network, a telephone line, a corporate network, other communication lines, combinations thereof, and the like, regardless of whether they are wired or wireless.

  The electronic journal editing system 10 and the document DB server 20 may be configured by a single computer or may be configured by a plurality of computers distributed on a network.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the electronic journal editing system 10. The electronic journal editing system 10 includes a control means 50 such as a CPU for controlling the processing and operation of the entire electronic journal editing system 10, and a memory and storage for storing various information necessary for processing executed by the electronic journal editing system 10. Storage means 60 including a device and the like. Although not shown, an input / output interface for inputting / outputting information, a communication interface for performing communication, and a bus connecting these means are provided.

  The control unit 50 includes a receiving unit 51, a document search unit 52, an identification information acquisition unit 53, a double check unit 54, a check sheet creation unit 55, and a link embedding unit 56. Note that the electronic journal editing system 10 causes the electronic journal editing system 10 to function so as to implement each of the above-described units by the control unit 50 executing a predetermined program stored in the storage unit 60 or the like.

  The storage unit 60 includes an ISSN storage unit 61, a cited document information storage unit 62, and an ambiguous dictionary information storage unit 63. Preferably, the storage unit 60 includes a cache that stores attribute information and identification information of a previously cited document (electronic paper) in association with each other.

  The accepting unit 51 has a function of accepting submission of a manuscript. Preferably, a contributor such as the author of a paper attaches or pastes an electronic manuscript to the e-mail, transmits the e-mail from the user terminal device 30 to the electronic journal editing system 10, and the receiving means 51 sends the e-mail to the e-mail. Receive an electronic document attached or pasted.

  As the format of the electronic manuscript, text data, document data created using a document creation application (word processing software), document data such as PDF, and image data such as TIFF can be used. Formatting data format such as LaTeX It is desirable to describe an electronic manuscript in In the present embodiment, description will be made assuming that the electronic document is described in LaTeX.

  The document search means 52 extracts the bibliographic item by identifying the location where the cited document is described from the electronic manuscript accepted by the accepting unit 51, sends the extracted bibliographic item to the literature DB server 20, and searches the literature DB 25. It has a function to do. When the electronic manuscript is described in a markup language such as LaTeX, it is preferable to extract a cited document using a tag in the manuscript. In addition, a full text search may be performed on the electronic manuscript, and a cited document may be extracted by detecting a word such as “reference document” or “References” or an item list. In addition, since the description of the cited document is generally described along a predetermined type, the cited document may be extracted by pattern matching using the predetermined type. Then, bibliographic information including the journal name, year of issue, volume, and page is extracted from each cited document described in the electronic manuscript. In addition, what is necessary is just to use bibliographic information used for a search as needed.

  In addition, cited references described in papers are generally described according to a certain format for each journal to be submitted. Therefore, bibliographic information necessary for the search can be acquired by previously setting form information for extracting bibliographic information for each journal.

  Even if the bibliographic information extracted from the electronic paper is used as it is and the search of the document DB server 20 is not performed, the document search unit 52 performs an ambiguous search by changing a part of the search formula. At this time, the search formula is changed using the ambiguous dictionary stored in the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63. For example, referring to the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63, the journal name in the search formula is changed from "Journal of International ..." to "Jour. Int ....". In addition, the type of bibliographic information to be searched may be partially replaced or removed.

  The identification information acquisition unit 53 has a function of acquiring identification information unique to a document such as DOI when a document corresponding to the bibliographic information can be acquired from the document DB 25 by the document search unit 52. The acquired identification information is recorded in the cited document information storage means 62. Note that the function of the identification information acquisition unit 53 may be incorporated in the document search unit 52 and configured as the document search unit 52.

  The double check means 54 has a function of reconfirming whether or not a document retrieved using bibliographic information is correct. In the present embodiment, since the document DB 25 is searched by journal name, publication year, volume, and page, for example, even if there is a typographical error in the publication year, there is a document in which other journal names, volumes, and pages happen to match. An error occurs that the identification information of the document that happens to be coincident is acquired. Therefore, using attribute information different from the bibliographic information used for the search, it is confirmed whether or not the document acquired as a result of the search is correct.

  In the present embodiment, double check processing is performed based on the first author name. That is, when the first author name of the document obtained from the document DB 25 using the bibliographic information is compared with the first author name described in the electronic manuscript and the two do not match, the first author name is different. The fact is recorded in the cited document information storage means 62, and the fact is reported to the poster. The first author name is the name of the first author listed first when there are multiple authors of the paper, and the name of the single author when there is only one author of the paper.

  The check sheet creation unit 55 has a function of creating a check sheet of a cited document cited in the electronic document based on information recorded in the cited document information storage unit 62. Although details of the check sheet will be described later, in this embodiment, the bibliographic information and identification information of cited references described in the electronic manuscript, and a list of HTML including the fact that there is a possibility of error, etc. A tabular check sheet is created, and the created check sheet is transmitted to an electronic manuscript contributor or the like as an electronic mail attachment. At this time, as the transmission destination of the electronic mail, if the transmission source of the electronic mail received by the receiving means 51 or the electronic mail address of the author is described in the electronic manuscript, that address may be used.

  The link embedding unit 56 generates link information (URL) for directly accessing the original data of the cited document based on the identification information such as DOI acquired by the identification information acquiring unit 53, and the generated link information Is embedded in the portion of the electronic manuscript where the cited document is described. In addition, a link is not embedded about the literature in which the identification information acquisition means 53 was not able to acquire identification information.

  The ISSN storage unit 61 is a database that stores journal names (thesis journal names) and ISSN in association with each other. A plurality of variations such as an official name and an abbreviated name may be stored as the journal name.

  The cited document information storage means 62 has a function of storing information that is the basis for creating a check sheet. In this embodiment, for each document, the author name and journal name extracted from the description of the cited document in the electronic manuscript, the status indicating whether or not the document is collated and the presence / absence of a difference, and the like are described as the cited document in the electronic manuscript. ISSN extracted based on the journal name, publication year, volume (volume number) and page extracted from the description of the cited document in the electronic manuscript, document identification information obtained as a result of collating the document DB, and electronic If there is a difference between the description of the cited document in the manuscript and the document acquired from the document DB, the difference is stored in association with each other.

  The ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63 is a dictionary that is referred to when executing an ambiguous search by changing a part of the search formula or the like when searching an ISSN from a journal name or searching a document from bibliographic information. It is a database that stores information. For example, associations between the official names and abbreviations of journals and associations between words and abbreviations are stored as ambiguous dictionary information.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure in the electronic journal editing system 10.

  First, after a researcher writes a paper, the paper is submitted to the electronic journal editing system 10. At this time, the researcher or the like attaches the electronic file (electronic manuscript) of the paper to the electronic mail and submits the paper by sending the electronic mail from the user terminal device 30 to the electronic journal editing system.

  When a researcher or the like transmits an electronic manuscript by e-mail from the user terminal device 30, the electronic journal editing system 10 receives the e-mail, and the accepting unit 51 accepts posting of the electronic manuscript (S101).

  The document search means 52 extracts bibliographic information about a single cited document among the cited documents described in the received electronic manuscript, and searches the document DB 25 based on the bibliographic information (S102). Specifically, the document search means 52 first extracts bibliographic information from the description of the cited document. The bibliographic information is information used as a search key when searching the document DB 25, and preferably includes an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), a publication year, a volume, and a page of the cited document. For the ISSN, the ISSN corresponding to the journal name is acquired by extracting the journal name (journal name) of the cited document and searching the ISSN storage unit 61. Then, the document search means 52 sends the extracted bibliographic information to the document DB server 20 to search the document DB 25 and receives the search result from the document DB server 20. If the document corresponding to the bibliographic information can be collated, the identification information of the document is received, and if the document cannot be collated, a search error message is received. Note that instead of the ISSN, the journal DB 25 may be searched using the journal name extracted from the description of the cited document as it is as the bibliographic information.

  When the document can be collated in the document DB 25 based on the bibliographic information, that is, when the electronic journal editing system 10 receives the identification information from the document DB server 20 (S103: YES), the identification information acquisition unit 53 receives the received identification. The information is acquired as the identification information of the cited document, and the identification information is stored in the cited document information storage unit 62 together with the bibliographic information (S107).

  On the other hand, when the document cannot be collated from the document DB 25 and a search error is received, or when the ISSN cannot be acquired from the journal name described in the cited document (S103: NO), the document search means 52 performs an ambiguous search based on the bibliographic information. (S104). An ambiguous search is a search performed by changing or deleting a part of a search key. When the document corresponding to the bibliographic information can be collated as a result of the fuzzy search, that is, when the electronic journal editing system 10 receives the identification information from the document DB server 20 (S105: YES), the identification information acquisition unit 53 The identification information and the bibliographic information are stored in the cited document information storage unit 62, and the erroneously written portion (difference portion) of the cited document estimated from the fuzzy search result is stored in the cited document information storage unit 62 (S106, S107). ).

  In this embodiment, an ambiguous search is performed by referring to the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63 and changing or deleting a part of the search key. For example, when a search error is received, it may be written in the wrong volume or publication year, so we tried to check whether only some conditions in the bibliographic information can be collated, and we were able to collate the literature with this In such a case, an item (difference part) that may be erroneously removed from the collation condition is recorded in the cited document information storage means 62. In other words, the volume is deleted from the bibliographic information, the search is re-executed by ISSN, issue year, and page, and when the document can be collated, the volume is recorded as a different part. In addition, when the publication year is deleted from the bibliographic information, the search is performed again with the ISSN, publication year, and page, and the documents can be collated, the publication year is recorded as a difference. This makes it possible to acquire correct document identification information if there is simply an error in the year of issue or volume.

  In addition, for cited references described in a paper, the description order of each item of bibliographic information, in particular, the order of publication year, volume, and page may differ depending on the field or journal. Also, some journals do not have a volume entry, and only year information may be substituted. In order to absorb such mistakes in notation and differences in style, for example, rules such as 4-digit numbers between 1900 and 2000 in parentheses are regarded as years, and only the year is described. A list of unnecessary journal names or the like may be stored in the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63, and an ambiguous search may be performed by pattern matching.

  Further, when the ISSN cannot be acquired from the journal name, it is preferable to absorb the ambiguity of the description of the journal name by referring to the ambiguous dictionary information storage unit 63 and changing some of the journal name candidates. That is, variations of abbreviations and common mistakes are registered in advance in the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63, and correct magazine name candidates are listed by pattern matching. For example, the description of “Jour. Int....” Is changed to “Journal of International.

  The document search means 52 repeats the fuzzy search until the documents can be collated or until all the fuzzy search variations that can be executed with reference to the fuzzy dictionary information storage means 63 are attempted. If all the variations of the fuzzy search are attempted and the document cannot be collated (S105: NO), the identification information acquisition unit 53 sets the identification information column to a blank indicating that the document is not found, and quotes only the bibliographic information. The document information is stored in the document information storage means 62 (S108). If the identification information acquisition unit 53 can determine from the description of the cited document that the cited document is a general book (book), the bibliographic information and the document type are stored in the cited document information storage unit 62. Record something.

  When documents are collated by the document retrieval unit 52 and identification information is acquired (S107), the double check unit 54 further describes the document obtained from the document DB 25 as a result of the collation and the actually cited document in the electronic manuscript. The surname of the first author (first author) is compared with the document being made (S109). If the names of the first authors do not match (S110: NO), it is determined that there is a possibility that there is an error in the description of the cited document, and the mismatched portion is recorded in the cited document information storage means 62 (S111). ). If the first author names match (S110: YES), the process continues.

  The electronic journal editing system 10 executes document collation processing from step S102 to step S111 for all cited documents described in the received electronic manuscript. If the electronic manuscript is described in LaTaX, the description of the cited document can be automatically extracted by using a tag for describing the cited document. For document data such as a word processor or PDF, the description of the cited document can be automatically extracted by text pattern matching.

When the document collation process is completed for all cited documents described in the electronic manuscript (S112: YES), the check sheet creating means 55 is based on the contents recorded in the cited document information storing means 62. The check sheet is created, and the created check sheet is attached to the e-mail and sent to the paper contributor by mail (S113). The check sheet is table data in which the notation of the cited document described in the received electronic manuscript and each bibliographic information extracted from the notation are represented as a table. In this embodiment, an HTML-format check sheet is created. At this time, if there is a possibility that the description of the cited document in the electronic manuscript may be wrong, that fact is added as a comment in the check sheet. It has become.

  4 to 7 are diagrams illustrating an example of a check sheet. In the present embodiment, the check sheet creation means 55 creates a check sheet in an HTML table format. The check sheet is created based on the information stored in the cited document information storage means 62, and the data structure of the cited document information storage means 62 and the structure of the table output to the check sheet match. It is preferable to do.

  The check sheet created in this embodiment includes a notation column 71 that displays the author name and journal name extracted from the description of the cited document in the electronic manuscript, and a status column 72 that indicates whether the document can be collated and whether there is a difference or the like. The ISSN column 73 for displaying the ISSN extracted based on the journal name described as the cited document in the electronic manuscript, and the issue year, volume (volume number) and page extracted from the description of the cited document in the electronic manuscript. It includes an issue year column 74, a volume column 75, and a page column 76 to be displayed, respectively, and a document column 77 for displaying identification information of a document acquired as a result of collation and pointing out the difference portion when there is a difference portion. That is, in the notation column 71, issue year column 74, volume column 75, and page column 76, the author name and journal name, issue year, volume, and page extracted from the description of the cited document of the received electronic manuscript are displayed as they are. .

  The status column 72 displays “OK”, “CHECK”, “BOOK”, or blank (blank). “OK” is displayed for a cited document that can be collated from the document DB 25 and that is determined to have no error in the description of the cited document. Although the documents can be collated, there is a difference between the description contents of the cited document described in the electronic manuscript and the description contents of the document acquired from the document DB 25, and “CHECK” is displayed for the cited document that needs to be confirmed by the author of the article. Is done. “BOOK” is displayed for the cited document determined to be a general book. In addition, a cited document that could not be collated from the document DB 25 is not displayed and is blank (blank).

  The comment field 77 displays identification information such as DOI acquired from the document DB 25 as a result of collation. It is preferable to embed a link based on DOI or the like in this identification information.

  For example, in the check sheet shown in FIG. 4, the cited document 1 displayed in the row 81 has an author name notation “F. Yin, H.-K. Shin, Y.-S. Kwon” in the upper part of the notation column 71. The journal name notation in the lower row is “Biosens.Bioelectron.2005,21,21”. The ISSN, issue year, volume, and page determined and extracted from the journal name notation are displayed in the ISSN column 73, issue year column 74, volume column 75, and page column 76, respectively, “09565663”, “2005”, “21”. , “21”. And the identification information (DOI in this embodiment) extracted by these ISSN, issue year, volume, and page is “10.10.16 / j.bios.2005.4.014” in the comment column 77. Is displayed. In the identification information displayed in the comment field 77, link information using the identification information is embedded, and the cited document can be browsed by the user clicking the link. For cited document 1, since there is no problem in the search result, “OK” is displayed in status column 72.

  The cited document 2 in the row 82 shows a case where a difference is found in the author name between the content actually described in the electronic manuscript and the document extracted from the document DB 25. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, “CHECK” is displayed in the status field 72, and the fact that the first author name is different is displayed in the comment field 77 to urge the contributor and the like to call attention. At this time, in the comment column 77, the notation of the first author name registered in the document DB 25 is displayed, and the identification information (DOI) acquired from the bibliographic information is also displayed. The user browses the document linked from the identification information, and whether the extracted cited document (the document identified by the identification information) is the document intended by the user, and the author name is correctly displayed. It can be confirmed whether or not.

  The cited document 1 displayed in the row 83 of FIG. 5 is an example in which the notation of the journal name of the cited document described in the electronic manuscript is different from the notation of the journal name stored in the ISSN storage unit 61. It is. As for the notation of the journal name and the like, a dictionary for absorbing the fluctuation of the notation is stored in the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63 so that identification information can be acquired even if there is a slight difference in notation. When the ISSN is acquired using the ambiguous dictionary information storage means 63, as shown in FIG. 5, “OK” is displayed in the status column 72, while the ISSN is displayed in parentheses in the ISSN column 73, In the comment column 77, a notation candidate expected as a correct journal name and identification information (DOI) acquired based on the candidate are displayed. The point that the user can confirm whether or not the identification information is correct by browsing the document linked from the identification information is the same as described above.

  The cited document 1a displayed in the row 84 of FIG. 6 is an example in the case of citing a general book (book). When the document search means 52 determines that the cited document described in the electronic manuscript is a general book or the like, as shown in FIG. 6, “BOOK” is displayed in the status column 72, and the ISSN column 73. To the comment field 77 are displayed blank.

  The cited document 6 in the row 85 is an example when the identification information cannot be acquired. In this example, since the ISSN could not be acquired from the notation of the journal name of the cited document described in the electronic manuscript, the ISSN column 73 is blank (blank). Thereby, since the identification information could not be acquired from the document DB 25, the comment column 77 is blank, and as a result, the status column 72 is also blank. As described above, when the ISSN and the identification information cannot be acquired, the corresponding portion of the check sheet is displayed in blank. Therefore, the user looks at the blank display item to determine whether the description of the cited document is correct. I can confirm.

  The cited document 10 displayed in the row 86 of FIG. 7 is different from the journal name notation stored in the ISSN storage unit 61 in the notation of the journal name of the cited reference described in the electronic manuscript, and This is an example when it is determined that the notation of the issue year described in the electronic manuscript is incorrect. In this embodiment, as shown in this example, identification information can be acquired by ambiguous search even if there is a slight error in the description of the cited document. Then, as a result of the ambiguous search, the portion that is determined to be erroneous is displayed in parentheses in the check sheet, and a comment that prompts confirmation of the erroneous description is attached to the comment column. In addition, since the expected literature can be easily browsed based on the link of the identification information, it is possible to easily check and correct the error.

  Thus, the paper submitter can check whether the description of the cited document is correct based on the check sheet received by e-mail, and whether the identification information (DOI) obtained based on the description of the cited document is correct. If there is an error in the description or identification information of the cited document, the electronic journal editing system 10 is notified by e-mail or the like that there is an error in the description of the correct cited document or the identification information.

  The electronic journal editing system 10 sends the check sheet, receives confirmation from the paper contributor, or does not respond for a predetermined period of time, or receives a request for correction from the paper contributor to describe the electronic manuscript. And the link embedding unit 56 directly accesses the original data of the cited document based on the information stored in the cited document information storing unit 62 after correcting the corresponding part of the cited document information storing unit 62. Information (URL) is generated, and the link information is added to the cited document description location of the electronic manuscript (S114).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of link information embedded in the electronic document by the link embedding unit 56. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an example of a description of a cited document description portion of an electronic document before link information is embedded. In this example, three documents a) to c) are cited. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an example of the description of the cited document description place after the link information is embedded. In the figure, the underline is added for explanation. In the example shown in the figure, the DOI can be acquired for the two documents a) and c), and the DOI cannot be acquired for the document b). The link embedding unit 76 adds a predetermined character string (http://dx.doi.org/) to the acquired DOI (for example, 10.1039 / j29710000797) and accesses a URL or the like for accessing the original data of the document. A link information (for example, http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/j29710000797) is generated, and a predetermined format (for example, \ href [http://dx.doi.org /10.1039/j29710000797]) Thus, the link information is embedded in the electronic document.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, link information is embedded by adding a link tag described in text data to text data described in LaTeX format received from a paper contributor. Processing is in progress. For this reason, since the text data in which the link information is embedded is also described in the LaTeX format, it is characterized in that it can be processed and the like in the LaTeX processing system.

  Thus, after the link information to the cited document is embedded, the electronic manuscript is released and widely used as an electronic paper (S115). The published electronic paper can be used in various forms through various processing systems of LaTeX, for example. For example, image data such as PDF may be generated through a processing system and released as an electronic journal. At this time, if a clickable link is embedded in the cited document description location in the image data based on the link information added to the electronic paper, the reader of the electronic journal can easily browse the cited document. Convenience of image data is increased.

  In addition, since the electronic paper with the link information added can be used as it is as typesetting data, it is possible to easily print and publish the paper without special processing for typesetting.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processing steps can be executed in any order or in parallel as long as there is no contradiction in the processing contents.

  For example, in the present embodiment, an example in which link information is automatically embedded in a cited document of a paper submitted to an electronic journal has been shown. However, the present invention is not limited to a paper, and a report, electronic data of a book, and other documents are cited. Applicable to any document data.

  In the present embodiment, the electronic paper is identified by using DOI as identification information and link information is generated. However, the identification information is not limited to DOI. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an example in which a link of a cited document in an electronic document is automatically generated has been shown. However, the present invention can be applied to a case where a digital object such as music or video data is cited in addition to a document.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the document DB server 20 includes the document DB 25, but the electronic journal editing system 10 may include a database corresponding to the document DB 25. At this time, the document search means 52 first searches a database managed locally in the electronic journal editing system 10, and searches the document DB 25 by accessing the external document DB server 20 only when documents cannot be acquired. . Thus, by first searching the local database and attempting to acquire identification information, communication costs and traffic loads can be suppressed, and the overall processing speed can be improved.

  Further, when the identification information acquisition unit 53 acquires the identification information from the document DB server 20, the acquired identification information and the attribute information of the document related to the identification information are associated with each other in the local database of the electronic journal editing system 10. A function of accumulating may be provided. As a result, it is possible to locally manage a document for which identification information has been acquired in the past, and the local database can be used as a cache when the document search unit 52 searches and acquires a document. Since the documents cited in the paper are often concentrated on specific documents, managing the identification information once used contributes to a significant improvement in processing efficiency.
