Settings: Integrations and publishing

To reach these settings in Kotahi, choose Settings → Configuration.

Semantic Scholar

A checkbox setting to enable/disable the import of preprints from Semantic Scholar. Group Managers can select servers to import preprints/journals from. This feature is only implemented on the prc archetype. This is because import queries are most commonly associated with a publish, review and curate workflow, and an existing query will need to be in place to use this feature.

Hypothesis

Settings related to some specific publishing endpoints. This may or may not be relevant to you. Essentially, if you are publishing preprint reviews to some external services the way in is via the hypothesis API.

Publishing webhook URL - the endpoint or target for the publishing action supplied as a URL

Publishing webhook token - the secret token used to authenticate the exchange

Publishing webhook reference - data sent to the target to know how to process the information

Kotahi API tokens

Input a token to access the unreviewedPreprints API and no other queries.

COAR Notify

Kotahi can receive messages from COAR’s Notify service. Authors can submit a manuscript to a 3rd party server and request a review from a group in Kotahi. Selected server IP addresses can be inserted (as comma-separated variables) and whitelisted - Kotahi can only receive requests from servers that are whitelisted.

A request results in a manuscript being imported and displayed on the Manuscripts page. Manuscripts imported via COAR Notify are identifiable by the Notify logo in the title text.

The screen shows: Manuscripts page listing five submissions in a table of Manuscript number, Title, Created, Updated, Status, Labels and Author columns, with a red arrow pointing to a manuscript carrying an ‘UNSUBMITTED’ status and a green ‘COAR NOTIFY’ label marking it as imported via COAR Notify.

AI Design Studio

Utilize the studio to tweak page layouts, adjust image placements, manage widows and orphans, refine content with ease, or come up with completely new designs using the studio. Read more here; https://www.robotscooking.com/redefining-document-design-unveiling-our-ai-powered-pdf-designer/
