Welcome to SciELO PC Programs’ documentation!¶
SciELO PC Programs is a set of tools of SciELO Methodology. They run on Windows and are used to manage journals, issues and articles data, in order to prepare them to the data processing which generates the website (SciELO Site).
Requirements¶
- JAVA
- PYTHON 2.7.x
How to install¶
- Download the last version
- Run the program
- Follow the instructions given in each screen
- Configure
- application’s name
- Examples: SciELO Brazil, SciELO Chile, SciELO v4.0, etc., or just SciELO.
- URL
- production website address Example: www.scielo.br
- destination data folder
- folder which have serial folder
![]()
- Select the programs you want to install in your computer, considering if it is the local server or the markup computer.
Programs for local server¶
- Code Manager: program to manager tables of codes/labels. For example, countries table: BR (code) and Brazil (label)
- Title Manager: program to manager journal data that are part of the collection, their issues and sections of table of contents
- Converter: program responsible for loading the CDS / ISIS databaseusing complete text documents previously marked
- Markup: program to identify each bibliographic element on articles and texts
- SGML Parser: program to identify possible markup errors on the marked files. It is always installed.
- XML SciELO: program (optional) to create XML format accepted byPubMed and ISI
Programs for Markup Computer¶
- Markup: program to identify each bibliographic element on articles and texts
- SGML Parser: program to identify possible markup errors on the marked files. It is always installed.
Note: Markup - automata files are examples of automatas. Its installation is optional.
For local server installation, set the environment variable BAP as OS23470a.
By Windows menu go to: Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment variables.
Check if the variable already exists.
If it does not, click New and enter the data.
Install Java and set its location in PATH.
The shortcurts are created to administrator user, so copy the shortcuts for all the users.
Give the write permission to non-admin users on C: (for Parser usage) and all the folders below the bin folder, because the programs generate files in these folders.
Select the C: drive and click on Properties option.
- Open the security tab
- Select users (common users)
- Click on Edit button
- Check all the permissions. Then click on Apply to set the permissions.
Concepts of the SciELO Methodology¶
- Local server
- SciELO collection or instance
- Types of issues
- Sequential number
- Folders structure
- Programs folder
- Data folder
Local server¶
It’s a Windows machine where the PC Programs and SciELO website (local site) run.
SciELO collection or instance¶
SciELO Collection or instance is a website generated using SciELO Methodology, including the ones which do not use SciELO in their website name.
Examples of collections or instances: SciELO Brazil, SciELO Chile, SciELO Salud Pública, Rev@Enf, etc.
Types of issues¶
- regular or supplement
- number formed by articles and texts
- ahead
- manuscripts that were approved by editorial board but they are not in a definitive issue. There is an ahead number by year.
- review/provisional
- number whose purpose is to group accepted articles which are still under review, leaving only their metadata published. There is a review number by year. Note: at the site the name adopted is provisional
- pr (press release)
- number whose purpose is to group the press releases texts of a number or article. There is a pr number by issue.
Sequential number¶
The sequential number is a number formed by year (YYYY), followed by a number that gives the issue’s order within a year.
This number has two purposes:
- order of the issue within a year in the “all issues” page of the website
- forming PID. It is strongly recommendable DO NOT MODIFY THIS ITEM if the issue has already been published on the website.
By convention, the sequential number is:
- ahead = 50
- review/provisional = 75
- pr = from 100
Example:
v.40 n.1 | 20091 |
v.40 n.2 | 20092 |
v.40 suppl. | 20093 |
v.40 suppl.2 | 20094 |
v.40 n.2 suppl.1 | 20095 |
ahead | 200950 |
review | 200975 |
v.40 n.1 pr | 2009100 |
Folders Structure¶
SciELO PC Programs package has the folders:
- bin and xml_scielo, for programs
- serial, for data
You can install them in the same or different folders. BUT by CONVENTION, we recommend C:\scielo\bin and c:\scielo\serial.
Examples of the same folder:
- c:\scielo\bin… and c:\scielo\serial
- d:\scielo_v4.0\bin and d:\scielo_v4.0\serial
Examples of different folders:
- c:\scielo\bin… e d:\scieloserial
- d:\scielo-programs\bin… and d:\scielo-dataserial
Programs folder¶
It contains the programs. E.g.: \scielo\bin
Data folder¶
e.g.: \scielo\serial
In this folder are all data, all the databases.
- title: it contains data records related to the journal
- section: it contains data records of sections of the table of contents
- issue: it contains the records of journal’s issues
- code: it contains tables of codes/labels
- PubMed: is used in order to archive the XML files sent to PubMed
- ISI: is used in order to archive the XML files sent to ISI
- several Journal’s folder: which contains the issues of the journal
Journal’s folder¶
e.g.: \scielo\serial\<acronym>
It contains several folders, each one for each issue of the journal.
Issue folder¶
- It contains folders like:
- markup: articles and text files, with markup
- body: articles and text files, original, no markup
- pdf: articles and texts in PDF format
- img: image files extracted from the PDF files
- base: the databases generated by Converter from the files of markup and body folders.
- There are rules to name theses folders:
- Folders for regular numbers and supplements: v, followed by the volume number, s, followed by the supplement to volume, n, followed by the number issue, s, followed by the supplement number
- Examples:
- v31n1 (volume 31, number 1)
- v31n1s1 (volume 31, number 1, supplement 1)
- v31n1s0 (volume 31, number 1, supplement)
- v31s0 (volume 31, supplement)
- v31s1 (volume 31, supplement 1)
- v31nspe (volume 31, special number)
- v31n3a (volume 31, number 3A)
- Review / Provisional’s and ahead’s folder: publication’s year, n, followed by the word review or ahead
- Examples:
- 2009nahead
- 2010nreview
- Ex-review/provisional’s and ex-ahead’s folders: ex-, followed by publication’s year, n followed by the number. NOTE: Converter creates these folders, because it is only way to control data files which were review/provisional and/or ahead once.
- Examples:
- ex-2009nahead
- ex-2010nreview
- Press releases’ folders: it follows the same rules of regular numbers and supplements, review / provisional and ahead, adding pr at the end of the file name.
- Examples:
- v31n1pr (press release of volume 31, number 1)
- v31n1s1pr (press release of volume 31, number 1, supplement 1)
- v31n1s0pr (press release of volume 31, number 1, supplement)
- v31s0pr (press release of volume 31, supplement)
- v31s1pr (press release of volume 31, supplement 1)
- v31nspepr (press release of volume 31, special number)
- v31n3apr (press release of volume 31, number 3A)
Local website¶
Programs for local server¶
Code Manager¶
- single-user program,
- Visual Basic
- used on local server
- manage the tables of codes and values used by all the programs of SciELO Methodology.
There are tables which contents are rarely changed, for example, languages. There are tables where the content is customizable for each collection. Currently: sponsor, markup center.
The table of subject areas was customizable. But now, it is required all the collections of the SciELO Network use the same table.
This program is only used if it is necessary to change data of the customizable tables.
Managing the tables¶
Select Files
- Restricted Area is used only by the developers of SciELO methodology. It is password protected.
- Customizing Tables is to manage the customizable tables.
Accessing a table¶
Select one of the tables, clicking the button …
The data of the tables will be presented in the format: code | label in Portuguese | Spanish | English.
Removing a row of the table¶
- Select a row to delete. Its data will be presented at code and labels fields of each language.
- Click on Remove button.
- Click on Save button
Updating a row of the table¶
Select a row to update. Its data will be presented at code and labels fields of each language.
Click on Update button.
Click on Save button
Creating a new row¶
Fill in the fields: code and label of each language
Technical information¶
Code database¶
ISIS database. One record by table.
- Field 1
- Subfield *: table name Subfield l, optional: language
- Field 2
- Subfield c: code Subfield v: value
NewCode database¶
Same structure of code database, but the records corresponding to the editable tables are the only records that would be different.

Issue identification¶
label | field | |
volume | 31 | |
supplement of volume | 131 | |
number | 32 | |
supplement of number | 132 | |
complement | 41 | |
sequential number | 36 | The sequential number is the year followed by the order for publication of the issue within a year. The sequential number is part of the PID of the issue. Must not be modified after publication of the issue. It also is used for the presentation of issues on the page all the issues, giving their order of presentation in the table. |
Identifying regular issues¶
Fill the volume and number.
The sequential number is the year followed by the order of the issue within a year. Eg: 20101 (first issue within a year).

Identifying supplements¶
When they exist, fill volume, supplement of volume (when there is no number), number, and supplement of number.
If the supplement is identified only with the word Supplement, fill in with 0, otherwise the label which identifies the supplement, for example, 1, A, etc.
On the site, so that all supplements are presented after the regular issues within a year, the sequential numbers of the supplements must be greater than the sequential number of the last regular issue. Eg: If there are 4 regular numbers in the year, then the sequential number for the supplements starts in 5.

Identifying ahead or review / provisional issues¶
Fill in the number field the word ahead, for ahead issue. By convention its sequential number is 50. Fill in the number field the word review, for review or provisional issue. By convention its sequential number is 75.
The sequential number is the year followed by the order of the issue within year, but by convention:
- Ahead is equal to 50
- Review / provisional is equal to 75

Indentifying press release issues¶
Populate the same fields in accordance with the rules above, plus pr in the complement. The sequential number is the year followed by the order of the issue within a year, but by convention starts in 100.

Problems on filling the sequential number¶
When the sequential number and the issue identification do not match, the program presents two conflict situations:
Sequential number belonging to another issue¶

When the user informs a sequential belonging to another issue, the program does not open the issue data, and informs the sequential number belongs to another issue.
It is also possible that the user have misinformed the issue identification and not the sequential number. The user is responsible for checking and correcting the data filled in before proceeding.
Mistake or replacement?¶

When the user reports an issue identification and a sequential number which do not match and the sequential number DOES NOT BELONG TO another issue, the program allows to:
open the issue, using the identification informed, but correcting its sequential number
change the issue’s sequential number to the informed one
Warning
The sequential number is part of the PID, so it must not be changed if the issue is already published on the site. The program allows the change of sequence number, if it does not belong to any other issue. The program does not know if the issue is already published or not. The user must be responsible for knowing it.

If there is some conflicting data, the data are not converted to the database. It is a fatal error. The user must check and correct the data in the markup document (using Markup program) and/or in issue database (using Title Manager).
If the issue’s data is correct, the files are converted to the database and the result will be shown on the screen.
Results:
- successfully converted: [], in red.
- converted, with errors: [X], in blue before its name. They have some markup errors, but not fatal enough to avoid conversion. For example, markup error, probably identified by Parser, but not corrected by the user.
- not converted: at the inferior part, in green. It is usually related to issue’s data, such as ISSN, abbreviated title, volume and number, which do not match in the markup file and in the issue database.
Clicking on each file in the result area and then on Result button, the user can see how the conversion run.
Successfully converted
Converted, but no fatal error: markup error
Converted, but no fatal error: some bibliographic references not identified
Converter locates each bibliographic reference of the markup file in the body file, identifying the points where [Links] must be inserted at the article page, in the website.
![]()
Clicking on [Links], a window is open to display a list of links to the referenced fulltext.
![]()
If there are bibliographic reference location errors, Converter will present the result bellow:
![]()
Not converted, because of fatal errors
XML SciELO¶
- DOS Batch program
- local server
This program generates XML and SGML files to PubMed and ISI.
For PubMed, there are two types of files:
- Journal data:
- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=helplinkout.section.files.Resource_File#files.Resource_File_Format. Sent once or every time the journal data was changed.
- Articles data:
- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/spec.html Sent one XML file for each issue.
Installation¶
This program is installed in PROGRAMS_PATH on the local Server using the SciELO PC-Programs package, where PROGRAMS_PATH is the path for all the SciELO PC programs.
The examples are considering PROGRAMS_PATH equal to c:\scielo.
It is also necessary to install java, if there is no java installed.
Configuration¶
Configuring the files and paths¶
Some configurations are done automatically as installing the PC Programs. The configuration files for all the PC Programs is c:\scielo\bin\scielo_paths.ini.
This program use the following parameters of this configuration file:
; Serial Serial Directory=f:\serial\,required … ; xml_scielo XML_SCIELO_PROGRAM_PATH=c:\scielo\xml_scielo PHP_EXE=c:\server\php\php.exe JAVA_EXE=java PubMed_DIR_COPY=c:\scielo\serialSCI_LISTA_SITE=c:\scielo\web\proc\scilista.lst PubMed_PROVIDER_ID=3081
- Serial Directory
- it is the place for all the journal and issues data. So, it indicates to the program where to find the data: c:\scielo\serial\title\title, c:\scielo\serial\<revistas>\<issue>.
- XML_SCIELO_PROGRAM_PATH
- it indicates the place where the programs is installed. E.g.: c:\scielo\xml_scielo.
- PHP_EXE
- it indicates the full path to php.exe, used for XML transformation. E.g: c:\server\php\php.exe.
- JAVA_EXE
- it indicates the full path to java or just java, if it is already in the PATH, used for XML transformation. E.g: java.
- PubMed_DIR_COPY
- it indicates the place where there Will be a copy of the generated files.
- SCI_LISTA_SITE
- it indicates the list used to generate the website. This program uses this list to create another list, used by itself.
- PubMed_PROVIDER_ID
- it is the ID of the provider. SciELO is one of the providers whose ID is 3081, for all the SciELO Collection.
Configuration of the data¶
If it is the first installation, you have some procedures to execute.
There is a file in c:\scielo\xml_scielo\config.example. You have to copy and rename to config.
Configure the files:
- PubMed\doi_conf.txt
- PubMed\config\config.seq
- PubMed\journals\journals.seq
File doi_conf.txt¶
It contains the data of the Publisher and the prefix given by CrossRef, according to the agreement signed by CrossRef and the SciELO of each country. IF YOUR SCIELO DOES NOT HAVE IT. SO THIS FILE MUST BE EMPTY.
INSTITUTION SPACE E-MAIL SPACE PREFIX
![]()
File config\config.seq¶
The file configconfig.seq is to informe to the program which articles or text should not be sent to PubMed, because some kind of documents are not accepted. So by their section in the table of contents it is possible to know if the document would be accept or not. So, this file contains the list of sections whose documents will not be accepted by PubMed.
Acronym space sectionId
![]()
File journals\journals.seq¶
This file journals\journals.seq contains data used to generate XML file of the journal: journals_acronimo.xml. This is the first XML file which must be sent to PubMed in order to register the journal. Read more: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=helplinkout.section.files.Resource_File#files.Resource_File_Format.
Its format is:
ACRONYM SPACE FIRST_YEAR_IN_PubMed SPACE SCIELO_URL SPACE ISSN
One line for each journal.
Executing¶
It has to be executed using the command line in DOS.
Go to the folder where this program is installed. E.g.: c:\scielo\xml_scielo\proc.
In proc you will find three scripts:
GenerateXML_all.bat: generates at the same time ISI and PubMed
GenerateXML_ISI.bat: generates SGML to ISI
GenerateXML_PubMed.bat: generates XML to PubMed
Provide a list similar to scilist, to execute any of them.
The program will open the scilist file and you have to check it, and include or remove lines, according to what you want to generate.
To generate also the XML file which contains journal data, journals_<acronimo>.xml, add one more parameter “YES”:
hcsm v13n2 YES
To generate ONLY the XML file which contains journal data, journals_<acronimo>.xml, the second parameter must be “NONE” and third one must be YES.
hcsm NONE YES
Programs for Markup computers¶
Markup¶
- single-user program, built in Visual Basic Application for Word, to descentralized use in any workstation.
- Its installation can be done in several computers, others than local server.
- tool to identify bibliographic elements in the articles and texts, according to SciELO DTD for article and for text, based on standard ISO 8879-1986 (SGML - Standard Generalized Markup Language) and ISO 12083-1994 (Electronic Manuscript Preparation and Markup).
With this program, the user can:
- open the articles or text files
- identify the bibliographic elements in the file, by select them with the mouse or keyboard and then tagging them, according DTD
- markup bibliographics references semiautomatically
- validate the identification according to article dtd.html#article and for text
- generate PMC XML (under development) http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/3.0/. Read the instructions given by Markup PMC.
- validate PMC XML
- preview the text generated from XML PMC
Before using the Markup¶
- you must have one article or text by file
- check if the file contents is same of printed version or PDF file
- check if the file format is HTML, .doc, .rtf
- check if the number which the articles belong is recorded in title and issue databases
- If the markup will be done in a different machine than local server, copy the files bellow from (local server)binmarkup :
- ??_issue.mds - it is updated when a new issue data is input on or modified in the database
- issue.mds - it is updated when a new issue data is input on or modified in the database
- ??_attb.mds - it is updated when a new code table data is input on or modified in the database
- automata.mds - it is updated when a new title data is input on or modified in the database
- journal-standard.txt - it is updated when a new issue data is input on or modified in the database
Open the program¶
Go to the menu, select SciELO and Markup
The program will try to open the Microsoft Word Program which is set in the file bin\markup\start.mds.
If the path is not valid, the program will ask for the right path of Microsoft Word Program.
Other option is to change this path by editing the bin\markup\start.mds file.
Just in case it doesn’t appear the message about macro execution, you need to drop the macro’s security level down.
In Word 2003, it appears as following:
If Word program opens correctly, the Markup bar will appear at the inferior part of the screen.
In Word 2007, it is different. The Markup bar will appear inside the Supplement group.
Open an article or a text file.
As clicking on Markup button, two options will be shown: configuration and Markup DTD-SciELO.
In Word 2007:
If the macro was not loaded normally, the message bellow will appear:
To solve it, select the Tools->Supplements and Models option of the menu.
So, remove the incorrect item, and put on the right path file corresponding of c:\scielo\bin\markup\markup.prg.
Using the program¶
Open a .html or .doc file.
Click on Markup DTD-SciELO to start the markup.
The Word bars will disappear, remaining only the Markup bars:
white: files operations, edit or eraser a tag, automatic markup
orange: floating tags, can be used in any document part
green: tags that have a specific hierarchy of DTD
In Word 2007, all these tags bars are agrouped in Supplements.
- The markup starts when you click on document type button:
- Article
- specifies scientific articles. They must have key-words, abstracts and bibliographic references. It is accounted in bibliometric module as scientific production.
- Text
- specifies texts that are part of a journal, but don’t have scientific worth. Ex.: Editorial, interview, review, etc.
The bars¶
General bar¶
Element’s attribute edition button¶
To edit attributes of an element, select the name element, then click on the edit (pencil) button. The program will ask for changing the values of the attributes.
Delete element button¶
To delete one element and its attributes, select the element name, then click on the delete button. The program will ask to confirm this action.
Automata 1 button¶
To mark bibliographic references automatically:
the journal have to have an Automata file (read how to programming an automata), which configures the rules to identify the references elements.
select one bibliographic reference until its final dot, including, and then click on the Automata 1 button.
This action will activate a tool which will try to identify the bibliographic reference elements automatically. The tool will present the several possibilities of identification. So the user have to select the correct one.
Automata 2 Button¶
To mark a set of bibliographical references automatically (available only for Vancouver standard). Select one or more bibliographic references and then click on the Automata 2 button.
The program will mark all references it can identify and will also keep the original reference, marked as [text-ref]. Thus the user can compare them in order to check if the reference was correctly identified and proceed the correction, if it is necessary.
Validate markup button¶
To validate the markup, click on the Validate markup button. It will run the SGML Parser.
Floating tag bar¶
The floating elements are the ones which can appear in any part of the text.
- aff
- identifies an author affiliation
- ign
- identifies a text which can be ignored
- tabwrap
- (only valid for XML PMC)
- figgrps
- (only valid for XML PMC)
- figgrp
- (only valid for XML PMC)

Hierarchical tags bar¶
This bar groups the elements according to the DTD. This bar will present the elements of one hierarchical level each time. As the user goes to a down or up level, the bar presents respectively, only the down or up level. The user goes to a down level, when clicks on an element or on a down arrow, and goes to an up level, clicking on the up arrow.
If there is no element marked in the text, then the initial elements buttons (article and text) are presented.
If there are any element marked in the text, the level just below the article or text are presented.
Up¶
Error messages¶
To avoid errors and to guide the user during the markup, the program presents some messages in case the procedures described previously have not been correctly done. For example:
If the user has clicked on an element button and no text was selected.
If a mandatory atribute value wasn’t filled in.
If the user try to insert a tag in an incorrect place, disaccording to DTD.
Bad value to a mandatory attribute
The user tried to identify an element which is not according to the hierarchical structure / DTD
the user has clicked on an element button and no text was selected
Markup PMC¶
Use the same Markup Program. So, read its documentation.
And use a copy of the markup file to generate the XML file to PMC.
The PMC Markup will be done on a copy of a markup file.
PMC Files Specifications: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/filespec/
The bars¶
General bar¶
Generate XML file button¶
To generate the XML files to PMC, the user must guarantee that xmlbody and other tags must exist, including the regular markup.
Validate XML file button¶
Click on it, to validate the XML file.
If the XML file is invalid:
If the XML file is valid:
Preview the text generated using the XML file button¶
To preview the text, generated from XML file, in order to check if how the fulltext will be presented in the website, click on the Preview text button.
Floating tag bar¶
The floating elements are the ones which can appear in any part of the text.
- aff
- identifies an author affiliation
- ign
- identifies a text which can be ignored
- tabwrap
- identifies a table (includes label, caption and image) (only valid for XML PMC)
- figgrps
- identifies a compound figure (Fig 1A, 1B, etc), and each one must be figgrp (only valid for XML PMC)
- figgrp

SGML Parser¶
- single-user program built in Visual Basic and C, and uses sp120.dll library.
- It is always installed, because it is used in several situations: by the Markup, by the Converter (internally), and stand-alone.
- tool to check whether the markup done using Markup is according to DTD SciELO.
This program can be run:
or from Markup
or by PC Programs’ menu
or by Converter, internal use, to analyze and obtain the values of the elements and their attributes.
Parser called by Markup: the file, which is open in the Markup program, is open in SGML Parser program.
Parser called by Menu: after opening SGML Parser program, the user have to open a file .txt or .sci, by accessing the File menu option.
This procedure must be done to *.sci files generated by Converter when some problem is identified in the marked files.
Configuration¶
Access the Menu and select Configuration option.
- The options Add ignore markup to document and Add SGML declaration to document must be selected, when the document is:
- an article
- File Containing the DTD = C:\SCIELO\BIN\SGMLPARS\article4_0.dtd
- Document Type Name = article
- a text
- File Containing the DTD = C:\SCIELO\BIN\SGMLPARS\text4_0.dtd
- Document Type Name = text
Document analysis¶
After configuring, the user have to use Parse menu option in order to analyze the marked document.
If everything is correct, the message bellow is presented:
So, the user can exit the program.
If there are errors, the Parser will indicate the line and the error type occured. In this case, the user must go back to Markup program and make corrections and then repete the procedure of using SGML Parser, until there is no error.
