## Description

Wisdom Journal Manager (WJM) turns WordPress into a full scholarly publishing platform:

 * Journals  Issues  Papers hierarchy
 * ORCID-aware author database
 * Full editorial workflow (submit  review  accept  publish)
 * Double-blind peer review with structured recommendations
 * Front-end manuscript submission portal
 * Citation tracking (CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science)
 * AES-256-CBC encrypted API credentials + audit log
 * JATS XML export + CrossRef DOI registration
 * REST API at `/wp-json/wisdjoma/v1/`

Automatic citation updates are opt-in and disabled by default: the plugin makes 
no calls to external services on its own. Enable a schedule under Journals  Automation
only if you want background citation lookups.

### Shortcodes

 * `[wisdjoma_journals]` `[wisdjoma_issues]` `[wisdjoma_papers]` `[wisdjoma_author_profile]`
 * `[wisdjoma_search]` `[wisdjoma_paper_metrics]`
 * `[wisdjoma_submit]` `[wisdjoma_my_submissions]`

### REST API

 * `GET /wp-json/wisdjoma/v1/journals`
 * `GET /wp-json/wisdjoma/v1/papers`
 * `GET /wp-json/wisdjoma/v1/papers/{id}`
 * `POST /wp-json/wisdjoma/v1/papers/{id}/status`
 * `GET /wp-json/wisdjoma/v1/stats`

### External services

Wisdom Journal Manager can connect to external scholarly metadata and DOI services
when site administrators choose to use those optional integrations.

#### Crossref REST API

Used to look up DOI metadata and citation counts.

Data sent: a DOI in the request URL and, if the site owner configures the optional
polite pool identifier, a contact email in the request headers.

When sent: only when an administrator manually requests a citation refresh or DOI
metadata lookup, or when the site owner has explicitly opted in to a citation update
schedule (disabled by default) under Journals  Automation.

Data sent: a DOI in the request URL and an API key in the request headers if the
site owner configures one.

preview, or connection test.

registration workflows with DataCite.

or DOI registration workflow.
