Upload a Word file. Get PDF, HTML, JATS XML and EPUB.
Index Production turns every manuscript into the four formats your journal needs, in your design and kept in sync. No typesetter, no InDesign and no hours of production per format.
Index Production in action
From a Word manuscript to four publication-ready formats, step by step.
How it works
Upload the manuscript
Start from the author's Word file, just as you work with it today.
Apply your journal's template
Index Production applies styles, headers, fonts and metadata automatically.
Review and publish
Review the proof, approve the changes and get all four formats at once.
Four formats, one source
Everything your journal needs to publish, get indexed and reach more readers.
Laid out in your journal's identity, ready for the web and for print.
Comfortable reading on screen and mobile, and better visibility in search engines.
Structured to the JATS standard used by SciELO, PubMed Central and other databases.
For e-readers and reading apps.
Correct once. All four formats update.
Every format comes from the same source. No more PDFs with a fix that never reached the HTML, or outdated XML.
Your design, not ours
We set up your journal's template with you once: cover, fonts, headers and reference styles. From then on, every article comes out in your visual identity, with no manual touch-ups.
Works with what you already use
Index Production integrates with OJS, so you can save on production without switching platforms. And if you want more, it is part of the Index suite, with submissions, peer review and open access publishing.
Traditional production vs Index Production
| Traditional production | With Index Production |
|---|---|
| InDesign layout, article by article | Automatic template for every article |
| A separate job for each format | All four formats at once |
| Corrections repeated in PDF, HTML and XML | Correct once and everything updates |
| XML outsourced or built by hand | JATS XML in the same workflow |
| Deadlines depend on the typesetter | Your team controls the deadlines |

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to leave OJS?
No. Index Production works with OJS and other platforms. You can use it for production only.
What do I need to get started?
Your manuscripts in Word and a reference for your journal's design. We set up the template with you and run a test with a real article.
Can I keep my journal's current design?
Yes. The template reproduces your visual identity: cover, fonts, headers and styles.
Is the XML suitable for indexing?
The XML is generated to the JATS standard, the format used by databases such as SciELO and PubMed Central. We help you check each index's requirements.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your article volume and the formats you need. After the test we prepare a no-obligation proposal.
How long does it take?
Once the template is set up, each article is generated in minutes.
