What this category's data looks like
This page addresses the journal three-review three-proof and editorial quality scenario; materials include three-review forms, proofs, proofreading records, version ledgers, and change records. Three-review forms carry the fields, dates, and signatures of initial review, re-review, and final review; proofs carry proof rounds and revision marks after typesetting; proofreading records carry proof rounds, error types, and receipts. When these materials enter the knowledge base retrieval service, each serves as a source of candidate snippets and does not directly generate a ledger. The update cadence advances with editorial rounds, and each round produces a new version number and change entries. Field characteristics center on record name, quantity, date, signature, and receipt; it is common for the same record to have mismatched name, quantity, or date across two materials, for versions to be out of sync, and for signatures or receipts to be missing.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the knowledge base retrieval service (retrieval node and search test), outputting candidate snippets and similarity scores (after mode, merge, rerank, filter, and limit trimming). The "version ledger and change records" are completed by subsequent nodes or manually. The retrieval mode switches among semantic, full-text, or hybrid according to material form; multi-path candidates are merged and then secondarily ranked, and finally similarity filtering and citation limit trimming yield the cited content.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Three-review form | Whether the fields, dates, and signatures of initial review, re-review, and final review are complete, and whether the same record's name and quantity match the proof | In the knowledge base search test, use synonymous questions to retrieve three-review form fields, record the number of candidates and scores, and check signatures and receipts |
| Proof | Whether proof rounds, revision marks, and dates correspond to the proofreading records, and whether the same record's name, quantity, and date match | Switch searchMode to semantic, full-text, or hybrid, compare whether candidates include both semantic and full-text results, and check proof dates |
| Proofreading record | Whether proof rounds, error types, receipts, and signatures are complete, and whether the version number is in sync with the version ledger | Test once each with synonymous questions, record the number of candidates and scores, then toggle rerank to see the ordering of the top few, and check receipts and version numbers |
| Version ledger and change records | Whether the current version is unique, old versions are traceable, citations are in sync, and change entries cover three-review forms, proofs, and proofreading records | Adjust similarity and limit to observe the tokens of the cited text after trimming, record the array count separately, and check whether version numbers and citations are in sync |
Three common errors
- Symptom: the same record's name, quantity, and date do not match between the three-review form and the proof. Cause: multi-path candidates were not merged by the same record, and hits and associations were not checked first.
- Symptom: the version ledger shows a unique current version, but citations still point to the old version. Cause: versions are out of sync, and change records were not updated with editorial rounds.
- Symptom: proofreading records lack signatures or receipts, yet candidate snippets are still recalled. Cause: similarity filtering and citation limit trimming only trim by score and do not validate signature and receipt fields.
How to verify the setup
This feature's acceptance: test once each with synonymously rewritten questions, compare candidates and scores, then toggle rerank to see the ordering of the top few; switch searchMode to observe differences between semantic and full-text candidates, and adjust similarity and limit to record the number of candidates and scores.
Business test: change one piece of content and see whether the version number and citations update in sync; check whether the fields, dates, and signatures of the three-review form, proof, and proofreading record are consistent, and confirm that the current version is unique and old versions are traceable.
- In the knowledge base search test, switch
