How to use it

Three simple steps from Word document to publication-ready XML.

1

Upload your Word file

Drop in your .docx manuscript and add optional metadata — title, authors, DOI, journal, and ISSNs.

2

Convert & edit

Get clean JATS XML instantly, then refine in a full editor with rich text, figures, tables, and a references manager.

3

Download

Export the XML on its own, or download a ZIP bundle with the XML plus all extracted images in a ready-to-use folder.

Everything you need

One-click conversion

Accurate DOCX → JATS XML that preserves structure, headings, math, and citations.

Dual-mode editor

Edit visually in rich-text mode or drop into raw XML — your changes stay in sync.

References manager

Add, reorder, and clean references. Look up any DOI via CrossRef to auto-fill a citation.

Figures & tables

Insert images and tables directly; extracted figures are bundled with your download.

Validate & format

Check that your XML is well-formed and auto-indent it with a single click.

ZIP export

Download a tidy package: article.xml plus a fulltext-jats-assets folder of images.
