A continuous integration and web framework in support of the ATLAS Publication Process

The ATLAS Collaboration defines methods, establishes procedures and organizes advisory groups to manage the publication processes of scientific papers, conference papers and public notes. All stages are carried by web systems, computing programs and tools that are designed and developed by the Experiment. The so-called Phase 0 system was implemented using the FENCE framework and is integrated into the CERN Gitlab software repository, to automatically configure workspaces where the analysis can be documented and used by the analysis team and managed by the conveners. Continuous integration is used to guide the authors on using the accurate format and valid statements while writing papers to be submitted to scientific journals. Additional software assures the correctness of other aspects such as the lists of collaboration authors, funding and foundation agencies. The ATLAS Physics and Committees Office provide support to the researchers and facilitate each phase of a publication process, allowing authors to focus on the article contents that describe the results and discoveries of the ATLAS experiment.
