Journals and Issues

Managing a journal's profile, boards, guidelines and reviewer criteria, and creating and publishing volumes and issues.

Permission needed
Edit the profiles and issues of the journals in scope

Journals are managed on the Catalogue → Journals & issues screen. Every journal is also a catalogue record of the journal type. The issues of a journal cannot be published before the journal record is published.

Issues are created on the journal's Issues tab. Articles are added to the issue and put in order, the issue is checked for consistency, and then it is published. The journal's profile, boards, guidelines and policies are on the other tabs of the same screen.

The editor-in-chief of a journal manages only their own journal and can add only their own journal's articles to an issue. Catalogue editors place the other records. The archive of a journal that is managed on DergiPark (Türkiye's national journal platform) is brought into the catalogue with DergiPark Harvesting.
