Workflow Orchestration for Initial Review of Academic Journal Submissions: Handle Multilingual Materials and Terminology

Journal Submissions: review workflows for multilingual work. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

The initial review of academic journal submissions involves three types of materials: submitted manuscripts, author information forms, and plagiarism check reports. Submitted manuscripts contain Chinese and English titles, abstracts, keywords, main text, and references, with dense multilingual materials and terminology; author information forms contain names, affiliations, authorship order, dates, and signature fields; plagiarism check reports contain detection numbers, duplication rate ranges, comparison sources, and receipts. Materials enter in batches, and the update pace advances with the initial review rounds. The names, quantities, and dates of the same record are prone to mismatches between two materials, and unsynchronized versions or missing signature receipts are also common. When entering workflow orchestration, the three types of materials each serve as independent inputs: submitted manuscripts carry terminology extraction and comparison, author information forms carry authorship and date verification, and plagiarism check reports carry receipt and number verification. The unified terminology table and comparison draft are aggregated by branch at subsequent nodes.

Configuration and implementation checks

This step is executed by workflow nodes (user selection and branching), outputting branch directions and interaction status records. The "unified terminology table and comparison draft" is continued by subsequent nodes according to the branch. When a node is triggered, the conversation enters an interactive state and records the workflow status. After the user completes the selection, execution continues along the branch corresponding to the chosen option.

Submitted manuscriptMultilingual materials and terminology processing: whether the same term is written consistently throughout the text, and whether the translated name can refer back to the original textCheck the options and branch connections one by one in the node, reference variables and nodeId for a trial run, and view the node status in the run records
Author information formThe names, quantities, and dates of the same record do not match between the two materials; missing signatures or receiptsCompare item by item against the submitted manuscript and plagiarism check report to verify names, affiliations, authorship order, dates, and signature fields
Plagiarism check reportVersions are not synchronized; the detection number and receipt date do not match between the two materialsVerify the detection number, receipt date, and comparison sources, and confirm they correspond to the current manuscript version
Unified terminology table and comparison draftExtract three terms to check whether their writing is consistent throughout the text, and whether the translated names can refer back to the original textReference the selection result variable in subsequent nodes and run a trial once, recording the branch direction and interaction status

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: The names, quantities, and dates of the same record do not match between the submitted manuscript and the author information form. Cause: The two materials are updated separately, without item-by-item comparison and version synchronization.
  • Phenomenon: The plagiarism check report lacks a signature or receipt, and the detection number does not match the current manuscript version. Cause: The receipt was not archived with the batch, and the version was not synchronized to the latest.
  • Phenomenon: After selecting an option, the default branch is still taken, or the process stops after the interaction is completed. Cause: The options and branch connections were not checked one by one, and the interaction status was not fully recorded.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance of this feature: Run trials for each option one by one, check the branch directions and interaction status in the run records, confirm that each option corresponds to one branch, and that the selection result variable has been passed to subsequent nodes.

Business test: Extract three terms to check whether their writing is consistent throughout the text, whether the translated names can refer back to the original text, and verify the correspondence between the unified terminology table and the comparison draft.

  • Check the options and branch connections one by one in the node, reference variables and nodeId for a trial run once, and view the node status in the run records.
  • Compare item by item against the submitted manuscript, author information form, and plagiarism check report to verify names, quantities, dates, and signature receipts, and confirm version synchronization.
