What Pranetaa Does
Pranetaa handles the complete lifecycle of a scholarly publication in six stages:
1. Submission — Accepts manuscripts in .docx, .doc, .pdf, .pptx, .xlsx, and .html formats. Scholars upload directly through the web interface.
2. Text Extraction — Automatically extracts the full text from uploaded documents, preserving Devanagari, Telugu, and Kannada scripts, including VijayaDV PUA-encoded characters.
3. AI Processing — Uses Claude (Anthropic) to generate a structured academic abstract, a contextual preamble, and a keyword list — calibrated specifically for Vedic and Sanskrit scholarship. No content is altered; only presentation metadata is created.
4. Editorial Review — The scholar reviews, edits, and approves the AI-generated metadata. The work is assigned to a section and category on vkg.works.
5. DOI Registration via Zenodo — Upon publish, the document is converted to PDF and deposited to Zenodo under open-access Creative Commons CC-BY licence. A permanent DOI is assigned with full author metadata including ORCID.
6. Publication — The article simultaneously appears on vkg.works with its DOI, abstract, preamble, and keywords — fully indexed and RSS-syndicated.
