About this plugin
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.

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

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.
