File Naming Conventions .email comment.
Introduced in version 1.9. Documentation updated in version 1.9.1.
Each file for an article must begin with a consistent base file name that includes the journal acronym (which must match productid) and the article ID number (which must match articleid) in the format [acronym]_A_[articleid]_O.
-
The XML and PDF files for an article should have the same base file name and a corresponding file extension, for example: RIGS_A_502180_O.xml and RIGS_A_502180_O.pdf. The PDF reference in the article XML attribute pdffilename needs to match the name of the PDF file, and include the same file extension (e.g. RIGS_A_502180_O.pdf in article XML and RIGS_A_502180_O.pdf in PDF name).
-
Images should be placed in a folder named for the article base file name plus _XML_IMAGES. Each image file should be named with the article base file name plus the XML ID of the figure, table, or element that references the image file, and the correct file extension.
When supplying files for an issue, the .zip file should be named using the journal acronym, the volume number, and the issue number, which must match the article XML attributes productid, volumenum and issuenum. Always ensure that the correct conventions are followed in the file names and in the article XML. The issue number in the file name should be zero-padded to two digits to match the CATS naming convention. The issue number in the article XML should be formatted for display (no zero-padding). The correct supplementary issue naming in file names should be: [acronym]_I_[volnumber]_S[supnumber]_O, for example: NVSD_I_48_S1_O.zip.
Only lowercase characters should be used in filename extensions (e.g. gif instead of GIF).
The following examples illustrate the correct naming and directory structure for zip files.
iFirst article:
ABCD_A_12345_O.zip
     ABCD_A_12345_O.pdf
     ABCD_A_12345_O.xml
     ABCD_A_12345_O_XML_IMAGES
          \ABCD_A_12345_O_F0001t.gif
          \ABCD_A_12345_O_F0001p.gif
          \ABCD_A_12345_O_F0001g.gif

Issue:
ABCD_I_12_03_O.zip
     ABCD_A_12345_O.pdf
     ABCD_A_12345_O.xml
     ABCD_A_12345_O_XML_IMAGES
          \ABCD_A_12345_O_F0001t.gif
          \ABCD_A_12345_O_F0001p.gif
          \ABCD_A_12345_O_F0001g.gif
     ABCD_A_678910_O.pdf
     ABCD_A_678910_O.xml
     ABCD_A_678910_O_XML_IMAGES
          \ABCD_A_678910_O_F0001t.gif
          \ABCD_A_678910_O_F0001p.gif
          \ABCD_A_678910_O_F0001g.gif
     ABCD_I_12_03_O_TOC
          \ABCD_I_12_03_O_TOC.pdf

In particular, please pay close attention to ensure that the article PDF and XML files are placed at the top level of the zip, and not within a sub directory.
