The issue I am looking for is not in the journal issue list

Causes and fixes when the issue you expect does not appear in the Journal issue list of the release settings.

Who uses it: Production coordinator, System administrator
Permission needed: Manage production jobs and tasks
In the panel: Production Job Page

The Journal issue list shows the issues of the article's own journal. Check the causes below.

The issue is not published yet

If you do not have the permission to manage journals, the list shows only published issues. The journal's editor-in-chief or a catalog editor creates and publishes a new issue. The steps are in Creating an Issue and Publishing an Issue.

A draft issue that was selected for the job earlier stays in the list with the draft badge.

The issue belongs to another journal

An article can be placed only in an issue of its own journal. The issues of other journals do not appear in the list.

Releasing without waiting for the issue

If the issue is not ready yet, tick Publish as early view. The article is published in the early view section of the journal page, and the catalog editors add it to an issue later. The details are in Publishing an Article as Early View.
