The problem

Historical archives often exist only as PDF or scanned paper, with incomplete metadata and inconsistent typography.

Our solution

We produce retrospective batches with stable editorial criteria, metadata normalization, and per-article XML validation.

Approach

  1. 01

    Inventory

    We catalogue volumes, languages, and the condition of source materials.

  2. 02

    Prioritization

    We define batches by year, impact, or indexing requirements.

  3. 03

    Batch production

    We convert to JATS with sample-based quality control.

  4. 04

    Continuous delivery

    We deliver partial packages so the journal can publish incrementally.

  • Collection metadata
  • Organized digitized assets
  • Quality-control log
