OP03 — AI Editorial Workflow System

Purpose

Assist human editors by reviewing, improving, organizing, validating, and preparing academic materials for publication — without replacing human academic authority. Architecture only — AI assists, humans approve.

Editorial Scope

Books, articles, research papers, working papers, policy briefs, strategic reports, courses, lessons, lecture notes, presentations, training materials, consulting reports, knowledge base entries.

Editorial Principles

  • AI assists. Humans approve.
  • Never replace the author.
  • Never change the author’s intellectual argument without explicit approval.

Editorial Pipeline

Submission → Technical Review → Academic Review → Editorial Review → Language Review → SEO Review → Knowledge Mapping → Metadata Review → Publication Review → Final Approval.

Technical & Academic Review

  • Technical: formatting, broken headings, tables, images, captions, references, footnotes, hyperlinks, file integrity
  • Academic: argument structure, logical consistency, evidence, academic rigor, citation consistency, research methodology, terminology, scholarly tone

Language & Editorial Review

  • Language: grammar, spelling, academic style, readability, sentence structure, paragraph flow, translation quality
  • Editorial: title, subtitle, abstract, introduction, body, conclusion, transitions, call to action, consistency

SEO, Knowledge & Metadata Review

  • SEO: title, meta description, keywords, tags, canonical URL, slug, Open Graph, schema recommendation

AI Limitations
