Leveraging LLMs in Library Publishing: JATS XML Encoding with ChatGPT

Introduction: Reliable and lightweight conversions of Microsoft Word documents to HTML have long eluded library publishers. We demonstrate how off-the-shelf large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT offer a lean pathway forward for generating JATS XML, which current platforms are equipped to render into user-friendly HTML publications. Methods: With careful prompting, ChatGPT can turn a plain text typescript into valid JATS. Leveraging a one- and few-shot approach for the <front> part of an XML file ensures that boilerplate data included in example(s) prompts the LLM to populate the correct data in its output. In <body> and <back/references> parts, zero-shot prompts with only the name and version of our JATS specification produce valid XML in ChatGPT 4.0. Results: One- and few-shot prompting proved effective in directing ChatGPT 3.5 to consistently encode discrete, sequential sections of article typescripts. In retesting with ChatGPT 4.0, zero-shot approaches demonstrated that <body> and <back/references> parts need only the JATS specification name and version to convert typescript into valid XML. The <front> parts still benefit from a one- and few-shot approach. Discussion: The primary bottleneck is token or source size limitations. Content must be broken up into separate sections for input and the output manually “stitched” together to form a complete XML file. Conclusion: LLMs may offer a solution for publishers without the resources to encode JATS files by other means. As LLMs increase in scale, we expect workflows for encoding research articles in JATS to become even more accurate, with fewer restrictions on capacity.

@roaldarboel @PLOS @Co_Biologists There are also library & institutionally based publishers offering a diamond model (no fees for publishing or reading), like eScholarship (https://escholarship.org/) from my team at the University of California. We publish about 90 scholarly journals. Find other library based publishers at the Library Publishing Coalition https://librarypublishing.org/ Happy to answer questions about this model--we've been doing it for over 20 years! #openaccess #librarypublishing

Beyond the metrics: What do Wikipedia citations mean?

Recent studies have demonstrated that Wikipedia citations to scholarly articles may be correlated with higher citation rates in the scholarly literature. It is also the case that Wikipedia serves a key role in the dissemination of public knowledge. Wikipedia has supplanted most encyclopedias as a general knowledge source and is one of the ten-most visited web properties in the world. With this in mind some publishers have made a deliberate effort to contribute reliable, peer reviewed information from their venues to Wikipedia. In far many more cases, volunteer editors cite scholarly articles as needed when creating or improving Wikipedia entries. In this study, we examine citations to an interdisciplinary collection of mostly open access journals published in collaboration with an academic library. We measure the citation rate for these articles prior to and after Wikipedia citation. In addition to quantifying the prevalence of Wikipedia citations to these titles, we identify how these citations are used in Wikipedia. By completing a content analysis of these citations, we identify “impact” beyond a count of mentions. These results contribute toward a better understanding of the value of a Wikipedia citation.
