The pasang browser extension helps researchers automatically upload information regarding the authors of a manuscript in bulk on a scientific journal’s submission website (JMS or journal management system). Currently, most JMSes only offer HTML forms to submit this information, making the process cumbersomely manual and error-prone, especially for papers with many authors. The pasang browser extension allows researchers to expedite this process by automatically filling out the forms on the journal’s submission portals with the authors’ information that was collected and curated beforehand by using tenzing.club.
pasang uses the belayer schema to store and manipulate the contributors’ information in the background. Thus, if you would like to take advantage of pasang’s capabilities make sure to export the contributors’ metadata from your framework to the belayer schema first.
The browser extension is still under development. The first working version will be compatible with the JMS of Nature Human Behaviour. If you would like to extend this capability to other journals, please see the Github repository of pasang for further instructions or contact us.
pasang is named after the first Nepalese woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
