Genetics Paper Pipeline
The pipeline for GSA papers is:
GSA approves a worm paper for publication and visits a ticket check-out cgi made by Juancarlos then enters the paper's DOI to retrieve a WBPaperID: Journal-WBPaper ticketer cgi. The DOI is needed and used during the linking and QC pipeline since we are dealing with files from the journal itself. An e-mail alert is sent to WB QC curators that a paper has been approved and has entered the pipeline.
When GSA receives a WBPaperID through the ticketer, a canned message is created for the author that includes a link to the journal first pass form. This message with link is sent by GSA to the author. A list of links to the journal first pass forms can be viewed here: journal first pass forms. The WBPaperID is needed for this part of the pipeline as the information from the journal first pass form is entered into postgres and has been integrated into first pass pipeline actions as author first pass data.
These papers are entered into postgres with only doi information and a journal value of 'Genetics' but without any author or paper data (see e-mail snippet from 10/2/09 below). According to an e-mail on 7/30/09 only Genetics papers should be getting doi's through PubMed, which could be used as a 'marker' to distinguish GSA papers from others. Kimberly was added to the doi ticketing alert e-mail so she can look out for these papers. Despite these checks, papers were still getting duplicated (see e-mails from 7/30/09, 11/20/09) or WBPaperIDs were getting mixed up (see e-mail from 1/15/10) or paper information was not getting entered properly (see e-mails 2/15/10, 2/16/11) and ultimately papers were being missed from the SVM pipeline. Some errors were due to typos during the WBPaper ticketing assignments on the part of GSA. I remember alerting GSA about the importance of using a consistent means of entering the doi, but I can't find the e-mail. I don't think we have this problem anymore. As regards the missing information, this is still a mystery as to why it works sometimes, but not others, and still needs to be addressed.
From and e-mail by Juancarlos on 10/02/09 the way the ticketer works:
"When the paper gets generated from the journal_paper_ticket.cgi form it checks if the paper already exists based on the DOI identifier. If it existed it assigns a password. If it is new, it : *generates a WBPaperID, *assigns a password *gives it a journal of Genetics *assigns the DOI identifier The authors and other bibliography data come later when the paper gets approved through the Paper Editor form."
