What this category's data looks like
At the initial review stage of academic journal submissions, materials typically include three categories: the submitted manuscript, the author information form, and the plagiarism check report. The manuscript comes from author submission, the author information form is filled in by the editorial office or the author, and the plagiarism check report is generated by the detection system. The three update at different rhythms: the manuscript may be revised multiple times, the author information form is adjusted as authorship changes, and the plagiarism check report is issued by detection batch. When these materials enter the form input node, each plays a different role: the manuscript is the object of initial review, the author information form is used to verify authorship and affiliation, and the plagiarism check report is used to judge the text duplication ratio. Field characteristics center on the manuscript title, author name, affiliation, manuscript number, plagiarism check date, signature field, etc., and must be matched item by item against the template to ensure that the name, quantity, and date of the same record are consistent across different materials, versions are synchronized, and signatures and receipts are not missing.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the form input node (interaction node) in the workflow, which outputs the field values filled in by the user (passed to subsequent nodes after submission). The "issuable material draft and handoff record" is completed by subsequent nodes or manually. After the node is triggered, the conversation enters the interaction state and the workflow state is recorded. After the user fills in the required items and submits, the form information is passed to subsequent nodes for use.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted manuscript | The manuscript title, manuscript number, and version date are consistent with the corresponding fields in the author information form and the plagiarism check report, and the signature field is complete | Check the field names one by one in the node configuration, and confirm that the title, number, and version date can correspond to the author information form and the plagiarism check report; during a trial run, reference formInputResult in a subsequent node to retrieve the manuscript field values |
| Author information form | The author name, affiliation, and authorship order are consistent with the records in the manuscript and the plagiarism check report, with no missing signature or receipt | Check the required settings one by one, and confirm that name, affiliation, and authorship order are marked as required; after submission, reference selectResult in a subsequent node to retrieve the author field values and run a trial |
| Plagiarism check report | The plagiarism check date, detection batch, and text duplication ratio correspond to the manuscript version date, and the report number is consistent with the manuscript number | Check whether the plagiarism check date and the manuscript version date are from the same batch; reference formInputResult in a subsequent node to retrieve the plagiarism check field values, and confirm that the subsequent node can retrieve the corresponding field values |
| Handoff record | The responsible person, handoff date, and version number are complete, signatures and receipts are not missing, and they are consistent with the manuscript, author information form, and plagiarism check report | Draft a handoff record according to the template, and check the responsible person, handoff date, and version number; complete one handoff and see whether missing items are blocked |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the manuscript and the author information form. Cause: Fields were not checked one by one against the template, and after submission the consistency of field values was not verified in subsequent nodes.
- Symptom: The manuscript version has been updated, but the plagiarism check report is still the old version, and the versions are not synchronized. Cause: The version date and the plagiarism check date were not checked as the same batch, and version comparison was not triggered after submission.
- Symptom: The handoff record is missing a signature or receipt, and the responsible person field is empty. Cause: Key material fields were not marked as required, submission was still possible with required items empty, and the handoff step did not block it.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this feature: Fill in the form once and submit it, check the field values retrieved by subsequent nodes, and confirm that the field values corresponding to formInputResult and selectResult can be passed correctly; submission should be blocked when required items are empty.
Business test: Draft one according to the template and complete one handoff, and see whether missing items are blocked.
- Check the field names and required settings one by one in the node configuration, and confirm that key material fields are marked as required.
