What this category's data looks like
The material sources for data versions and change maintenance in journal three-stage review, three-proofread, and editorial quality include three categories: three-stage review forms, proofs, and proofreading records. The three-stage review form records the fields, dates, and signatures of the initial review, re-review, and final review, and is the starting point of the version ledger; the proof carries the content pending verification after typesetting, and the proofreading record retains the issues and receipts of each proofreading round. When the three categories of materials enter the HTTP interface, their roles differ: the three-stage review form provides approval nodes and signing information, the proof provides the current version body text, and the proofreading record provides change traces and citation basis. The update rhythm follows the editorial process; each completed proofreading round produces a new version, and old versions are retained and traceable. Field characteristics center on name, quantity, date, signature, and receipt. If the name, quantity, or date of the same record does not match across two materials, version verification is triggered.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the HTTP node in the workflow, which outputs the response body, status code, and returned fields. The version ledger and change records are parsed from the response by subsequent nodes, or handled by an external system according to the agreement to complete the rest. The HTTP node does not replace the external system in writing to the database or approving.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Three-stage review form | The fields, dates, and signatures are consistent in name, quantity, and date between the three-stage review form and the proofreading record | Check the signing dates and signature columns of the initial review, re-review, and final review, and compare the fields returned by responseData |
| Proof | The current version is unique, and the proof body text corresponds to the ledger version number | In the request preview, view the complete rendered address, and check the version identifier parsed from the variables placeholders |
| Proofreading record | The records and receipts of each proofreading round are complete, and old versions are traceable | Check the number of proofreading rounds, dates, and receipts, and inspect the source of the Authorization request header value |
| Request body | The fields are consistent with the external interface agreement | Use one sample request to compare the return, and confirm that the name, quantity, and date fields have no empty values |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the three-stage review form and the proofreading record. Cause: The two materials are maintained separately, and field comparison has not been performed based on the current version.
- Symptom: The proof has been changed, but the ledger version number and citation have not been updated synchronously. Cause: The change was completed only within a single material, and synchronization of the version ledger and citation was not triggered.
- Symptom: The proofreading record lacks a signature or receipt, and the approval chain is incomplete. Cause: The signature column and receipt were not checked during material circulation, and the fields are empty when entering the interface.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this feature: preview the rendered request, check the status code and returned fields, then compare the result against one sample to confirm that the values of variables and responseData are consistent.
Business test: change one piece of content and see whether the version number and citation are updated synchronously.
- In the variables panel, check the source of each placeholder and confirm that
variablescan be traced to global variables, system variables, or the output of preceding nodes. - Check the request header names and value sources, and confirm that
Authorizationis passed in according to the external system requirements to avoid returning 401.
