-For years, academic publishing has relied on legacy systems that hinder efficiency and scholarly communication. Complex interfaces frustrate users. Rigid, one-size-fits-all submission systems cannot accommodate diverse content types, workflows, or journal requirements. Email-driven communications cause delays. Production remains siloed externally without automation. Monolithic architectures hamper scalability.

 Kotahi incorporates a modern content management system (CMS) based on static site generation rather than a traditional database-request-driven CMS. This approach provides significant advantages in speed, security, and scalability.
 
-Compared to traditional CMSs which can become sluggish and vulnerable at scale, Kotahi's CMS remains lightning fast and rock solid regardless of traffic or content volume. This innovative architecture ensures publishers can manage content efficiently while providing end users with a reliably fast delivery experience. Full text articles are published at a push of a button. The CMS can handle the demands of complex scholarly publishing requirements both now and in the future.

 ## Automated JATS Production
 
-The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML standard has become ubiquitous in scholarly publishing, allowing content to be structured, exchanged, and preserved in a consistent machine-readable format. However, many publishers find the JATS format complex and cumbersome to implement manually. The specialized skills and manual effort required drives up costs, hampers efficiency, and creates barriers to adopting this critical publishing standard.

 The internal production editor then provides an intuitive way to ready content for JATS export without needing direct XML skills. Users simply visually highlight and tag content sections, with the selections automatically mapped to the appropriate JATS document elements. On demand, Kotahi converts the prepared manuscript and metadata into validation-checked JATS XML that complies with all specifications. This standards-compliant JATS file can also be regenerated as needed throughout the editorial workflow. Kotahi also has an evolving set of tools for the management and validation of citations.
 
-By integrating JATS production into the publishing pipeline in this tailored yet automated manner, Kotahi makes adopting JATS accessible to mainstream publishers. Intuitive tools lower the barrier to entry while facilitating standards compliance at scale. Automating repetitive tasks also substantially reduces overhead costs and speeds up publishing turnarounds. With its innovative approach, Kotahi represents the next generation of submission management that seamlessly incorporates critical standards like JATS XML.

 ## Automated Production of PDF
 
-One of Kotahi's standout features is the ability to automatically typeset and generate print-ready PDFs with just a click. This is powered by the integration of [[Paged.js](Paged.js)](Paged.js), an open-source library for paginating HTML content into high-quality PDF documents.

 This browser-based PDF generation approach also enables automated workflows. Kotahi can thus produce press-ready PDFs at scale in a fraction of the time. The result is a system that can take manuscripts from writing to publication-quality typesetting with unparalleled efficiency. Hands-off, consistent, and aesthetically pleasing PDFs become accessible to publishers of all sizes through Kotahi's simple automation.
