O-3PO stands for Open-source Open-access Overlay Publishing Option, it intends to make publishing of open-access arXiv overlay journals on WordPress powered websites as easy as possible.
O-3PO powers the website of Quantum - the open journal for quantum science and was originally developed for this purpose.
This is beta software, which still may contain site-specific and/or not well tested code.
O-3PO offers the following features:
- Automatic download of LaTeX source code and PDF from the arXiv
- Automatic extraction of meta-data
- Automagic interpretation of references and DOI links
- DOI registration with Plan S compliant rich meta-data deposits including bibliography and funder information
- Xited-by data retrieval from Crossref REST API and NASA ads
- Merging of cited-by information from multiple sources and bibliometrics calculation
- Meta-data deposition at the DOAJ API
- Article source and pdf download as well as meta-data extraction from, as well as journal reference feed for the arXiv
- Meta-data and full text deposition in the CLOCKSS archive
- Posting of updates on publications to the Buffer.com queue
- Linking to Fermat's library
- Automatic and customizable emails for author communication
- Search centered navigation of articles
- Integration of publications in to RSS feed
- Presentation of journal content by volume
- Web-statement endpoint for the verification of licenses
- Transformation of \cite commands in post content into hyperlinks referencing bibliography items
- Form for the submission of works that are ready to publish by the authors, including various sanity checks and collection of additional meta data
- Queuing system for manuscripts awaiting publication
- Functionality for the generation of invoices
In fact, certain features of O-3PO may only work correctly in conjunction with the OnePress theme.
- Git clone this repository via:
git clone https://github.com/quantum-journal/o3po.git - Copy the
o3podirectory into yourwp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu of WordPress.
O-3PO uses the PHPUnit testing framework. You can run all tests locally by executing make test.
Please refer to the online documentation to learn about the implementation.
The documentation can be build locally by running make docs.
- Move fix_custom_logo_html into separate plug-in
- Move remaining onepress related customizations into a separate plug-in
O-3PO is open source, actively maintained, and allows you to combine all the features of a professional publishing platform, with exactly the integrations an arXiv overlay journal needs, with the power of the worlds most popular blogging platform.
It is obviously a play on the name of humanoid robot character from a series of popular science fiction movies, whose primary purpose is to assist people in their communication, just like this plugin.
