ISSN and categories
The ISSN and e-ISSN are written to the journal profile and added to the persistent identifiers of the record automatically. The check digit is verified. Select the categories of the journal in the Categories section of the record. The categories appear as links to the category page on the journal page and on the card of the journal in the journal list of the public site.
Next steps
Open the journal with Manage journal on the Journals & issues screen. The profile, boards, guidelines and policies are edited there. The details are in Editing the Journal Profile, Adding Board Members and Indexes and Writing Journal Policies. For the first issue, go on to Creating an Issue.
Required permissions
Creating a new journal requires both the permission to edit the catalogue and the permission to manage journals. These permissions belong to the Catalogue editor and System administrator roles. The Editor-in-chief of a journal cannot create journals but manages the profile and issues of their own journal.
