What this category's data looks like
In the preliminary review stage of academic journal submissions, the materials include three types: submitted manuscripts, author information forms, and plagiarism check reports. The manuscript provides the title, author affiliation, date of receipt, and signature of the preliminary review opinion; the author information form records author order, correspondence address, and contact details; the plagiarism check report gives the duplication rate range and detection time. When these three types of materials enter the HTTP interface and external systems, the manuscript serves as the main record driving the progress table rows, the author information form is used to verify authorship and acknowledgments, and the plagiarism check report serves as an exception item in the statistical scope. The update cadence is summarized weekly, and the field characteristics are concentrated in title, manuscript number, date, quantity, and signature column. The name, quantity, and date of the same record across the three materials must be aligned item by item, and the version and signature acknowledgment are retained in sync.
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 "progress table and statistical scope description" is parsed from the response by subsequent nodes, or handled by an external system according to the agreement to complete the next step. The HTTP module sends a request to the target address, and variables can be used as placeholders in three places: path parameters, request body, and request headers. Variables come from global variables, system variables, or the output of preceding nodes.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted manuscript | The title, manuscript number, date of receipt, and preliminary review signature are consistent across the three materials; missing signatures or acknowledgments must be flagged | In the request preview, view the fully rendered address, and verify the manuscript fields against the dates and quantities in the author information form and plagiarism check report |
| Author information form | The author order, correspondence address, and contact details match the manuscript authorship; unsynchronized versions must be recorded | In the variables panel, verify the source of each placeholder, and confirm that the author fields match the manuscript record names |
| Plagiarism check report | The duplication rate range and detection time correspond to the manuscript number, and are listed separately as an exception item in the statistical scope | Use one sample request to compare the response, and verify the plagiarism check report fields against the external interface agreement |
| Request headers and request body | Authentication information is passed in according to the external system requirements, and the fields are consistent with the external interface agreement | Verify the request header names and value sources, and confirm that there are no empty values in the request body fields |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The name, quantity, and date of the same manuscript do not match across two materials. Cause: Versions are not synchronized, old and new manuscript numbers are mixed, and the progress table and statistical scope are not aligned.
- Symptom: The external system receives empty fields or returns 401. Cause: Request header authentication information is not passed in as agreed, placeholder variable parsing fails, and variable sources are not verified item by item.
- Symptom: Signatures or acknowledgments are missing, and the statistical total does not match the record count. Cause: The preliminary review opinion column is unsigned, the plagiarism check report has no attached acknowledgment, and the exception item scope is not stated in the table header.
How to verify the setup
This feature acceptance: preview the rendered request, check the status code and returned fields, then compare the result against one sample; at the same time, check whether the three identifiers Authorization, variables, and responseData appear as agreed.
Business test: use one week of records to verify the total, check whether the scope and exceptions are clearly stated, confirm that the record count matches the statistical count, and write the scope into the table header.
- In the request preview, view the fully rendered address, and verify whether the path parameters and request body fields are consistent with the external interface agreement.
- In the variables panel, verify the source of each placeholder, and confirm that
Authorization,variables, andresponseDatacorrespond to the output of preceding nodes.
