Abstract
The ATLAS collaboration defines methods, establishes procedures, and organises advisory groups to manage the publication processes of scientific papers, conference papers, and public notes. All stages are managed through web systems, computing programs, and tools that are designed and developed by the collaboration. A framework called FENCE is integrated into the CERN GitLab software repository, to automatically configure workspaces where each analysis can be documented by the analysis team and managed by the relevant coordinators. Continuous integration is used to guide the writers in applying consistent and correct formatting when preparing papers to be submitted to scientific journals. Additional software assures the correctness of other aspects of each paper, such as the lists of collaboration authors, funding agencies, and foundations. The framework and the workflow therein provide automatic and easy support to the researchers and facilitates each phase of the publication process, allowing authors to focus on the article contents. The framework and its integration with the most up to date and efficient tools has consequently provided a more professional and efficient automatized work environment to the whole collaboration.
Highlights
A continuous integration and web framework in support of the ATLAS publication process To cite this article: J.P
A suite of tools have been developed to support the publication of documents by the ATLAS collaboration
The FENCE framework is used as the backbone of the whole setup and is used to interface the web-based tracking of the status of an analysis with the documentation in GitLab
Summary
The ATLAS experiment supports a wide physics program to explore the fundamental nature of matter and the associated forces. There, the responsible groups are constituted; the Analysis Team (AT), a group of editors of an Analysis document, is formed; the group and subgroup conveners in charge of overseeing the analysis are identified; and, an Editorial Board (EB) is set up to support the analysis review At this stage, the main physics goals of the publication are formalized, and the proposal goes through an approval process. While the editors proofread the content of the paper within a short period of time, usually two days, the PO officers check whether the authors and their affiliations have been appropriately handled by the journal, through comparison with the original files sent to them The journal references and any previous replacements (e.g. for erratum submission and acceptance)
