How-to
Editing the Journal Profile
Editing the ISSN, scope, submission method, peer review type, publication facts and contact details of a journal on the Profile tab.
The journal profile shapes the journal page on the site and sets where the journal takes submissions from. You open the journal with Manage journal on the Catalogue → Journals & issues screen and edit the profile on the Profile tab.
Profile fields
- Enter the ISSN (print) and e-ISSN. The system verifies the check digit.
- Write the aims and scope of the journal in the Scope (TR) and Scope (EN) fields. Each language takes up to 5,000 characters. You can write a long text in a larger window with the Write in a larger window button next to the field.
- In the Submissions list, select the way the journal takes submissions. The options are described below.
- In the Peer review list, select Double-anonymous, Single-anonymous or Open review.
- Fill in the Publication facts and Journal contact details sections.
- Press Save.
The peer review type of each submission is recorded when the author first submits it. A change you make later applies only to new submissions. The difference between the types is explained in Peer Review Types.
Submission methods
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| Through the workspace (JournTech) | Authors submit through the panel. A published journal appears in the journal list of the submission wizard |
| External platform | Submissions run on another platform. The External platform address field opens and the journal page links to that address |
| Managed on DergiPark | Submission and peer review run on DergiPark, the national journal platform of TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM. The DergiPark fields open |
| Closed to submissions | The journal does not take submissions |
Submissions through the panel are possible only for journals set to Through the workspace (JournTech).
Journal managed on DergiPark
For a journal whose submission and peer review run on DergiPark, set the Submissions field to Managed on DergiPark. With this option the DergiPark address or short name and DergiPark journal number fields open in the profile. The profile is not saved without the address. Authors cannot submit to this journal through the panel, and the submit button on the site opens the submission page on DergiPark.
The steps for entering the address and finding the journal are in Finding a Journal on DergiPark. To bring the DergiPark issues of the journal into the catalogue, see Harvesting from DergiPark. The harvest card opens at the bottom of this tab once the address is saved.
Publication facts and contact details
The details in the Publication facts section appear in the About the journal section of the journal page. The checks for TR Dizin (Türkiye's national citation index) use them too.
- The Field sets the minimum number of issues a year that TR Dizin expects. Journals in the health sciences are expected to publish 3 issues a year, in science and engineering 2, and in the social sciences and humanities 1.
- Issues a year and Publication months must match. Select as many months as there are issues a year.
- In the Languages field, type the language codes, for example tr, en or de.
- The Frequency field is free text that appears on the page as written.
In the Journal contact details section you enter the e-mail address, telephone number and postal address of the journal. The TR Dizin checklist asks for the e-mail address and the postal address.
Record details
The name, abbreviation, publisher, access status and licence of the journal are in the catalogue record of the journal. If you may see draft records, the Record details button in the page header opens the record.
