mecadoi.meca

Functionality for interacting with Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) archives.

This data format was introduced as an interface between various publishing systems to allow the transferral of manuscripts between different publishers. A single MECA archive contains a single manuscript, optionally peer reviews of that manuscript, and can contain any further data related to the manuscript.

parse_meca_archive() is the main entrypoint that parses a MECA archive into a Manuscript, the intermediate format defined in this module.
