I want to ask if there is any solution to create an article that has an executable instance based on another platform called Stencila.
In other words, the point is to have an static article in OJS and a dynamic version of this article (with code and statics) in Stencila.
Example :
If I’m understanding you (that is a big if) you can probably emulate this eLife feature this without any extra coding, just with the OJS features included “out of the box”… but all depends on your requirements.
I suggest you play a little with OJS to get familiar with it’s workflow and the interface.
You will need to do a full workflow to discover if this will fit your needs.
Login as author and submit an static file… but also add (as a supplementary resource) an external link to your Stencila dynamic version.
As an editor, create a new “future issue”.
As an editor, take your article and follow the publication workflow (now you can “jump” stages). At the end you will be able to add your static file (ie: a PDF) as a galley, but (and this is the trick) remember to publish a second galley with your external link to Stencila.
Schedule your article to the future issue and publish the issue.
Check your published issue.
If the link solution is not good enough (ie: you like to integrate “stencila” in ojs as a modal window), after all this you will need to develop a plugin (as some fellows did to add pdf, html or jats viewers).
But I think is important to get familiar with essential OJS features before going further.
Ok your steps are greats, thanks. But the question is how to login as author ? an editor ? where can I create new future issue ?
Maybe you have right, I have to read more documentation firstly ?
I asked you before only to be sure that I have all the features on my local version ?
Yes. Your local version looks fine, don’t worry.
You need to think in OJS as a “generator” of journal sites (not just one), and from your screenshot you are in administator’s page, crating a journal. If you click on this specific journal, you will be able to reach the a more extended interface (specific for the new journal)
Maybe you have right, I have to read more documentation firstly ?
Not all documentation, but some reading won’t harm you and will let you understand the logic (so you can decide how to adapt it to your goals)… but is also important play with the tool. I mean, you need some concepts, but I’m more in favor of “learning by doing” than reading a lot.
I’m not using this in any journal, but you can use the “external url” as a galley resource.
If I remember well, it will drive you to the external link.
If you want it to be more “ojs-integrated” you will need to develop your own plugin, like the viewers fellows did for local html, pdf or jats.
That’s great. You are the first one thats tell me he made some experiments on the subject
Oh thank you, we can try to share experiments together. Thats will be helpful.
If I understand you correctly, we can do as the guys did for eLife, only try to use the iframe.
To be honest, I am not sure if you can call all the services there, I am using a local version of stencila but it contains also a lot of problems that I am try to fix with the guys there. If you want to install Stencila also locally, just let me know, I can help you with it.
