What Kotahi publishes

Awaiting review. Converted from the retired kotahi.community documentation and not yet checked against a current Kotahi release.

Kotahi is highly configurable and can publish a wide variety of research outputs. Here are some of the main options:

  • Evaluations - Review content and decision summaries from the peer review process. This could include full verbatim reviews or edited excerpts.
  • Data - Datasets, metadata, code, multimedia, and other supplementary files.
  • Manuscripts - Preprints, journal articles, conference papers, micropublications, and other scholarly documents.

Flow diagram: three boxes labelled ‘Evaluation’, ‘Data’ and ‘Manuscript’ on the left, each with an arrow converging on a single box labelled ‘Publication’ on the right.

  • Your own public website - Kotahi can build and host the site your readers see, and it is customisable to fit your needs. (Kotahi calls this the CMS.)
  • External endpoints - Kotahi can publish to any external endpoint or system provided it can receive the data. This includes institutional repositories, preprint servers, journals, archives, social media, and more.
  • Multiple targets - Content can be published to your own public website, to external endpoints, or to both at once.

Kotahi allows flexible configuration of publishing in various ways:

  • publish any combination of evaluations, data, and manuscripts or none at all
  • publish to single or multiple endpoints
  • customise metadata, identifiers, licenses, formatting, layouts, and more

In summary, Kotahi enables publishing virtually any scholarly content anywhere through a highly configurable system.
