At Scholastica, we believe all journals should be able to have rich machine-readable metadata without technical hassles or manual work. So, we automate metadata creation for journals using our peer review system, digital-first article production service, and OA hosting platform. In this blog post, we overview the role of metadata in article discovery and our latest metadata features and support.
