Troubleshooting
Articles harvested from DergiPark stay as drafts
If the harvest results show a Left as drafts count, checking the journal record's status, the volume and issue details and the articles' missing fields, and publishing the articles.
The harvest publishes an article only if it passes the catalogue's publish checks. Articles that fail them stay as drafts and are added to the Left as drafts count in the result line. Check the causes below in order.
The journal record is not published
If the journal's own catalogue record is not published, the harvest publishes neither the issues nor the articles. Publish the journal record as described in Record Statuses and Publishing.
The first harvest after you publish the journal record also publishes the articles left as drafts earlier, and their issues. This happens even when the article did not change on DergiPark (Türkiye's national journal platform). If you do not want to wait for the weekly harvest, press the Harvest now button on the journal management screen.
The harvest does not publish again an article that an editor took off the site. It does not publish an issue that was published once and taken down later either, nor the draft articles in it. Publish such issues by hand on the issue screen. The details are in Publishing an Issue.
The article has no volume and issue information
An article whose DergiPark record has no volume and issue information at all is not placed in an issue and stays a draft. Place the article in an issue as described in Adding Articles to an Issue. To publish it without waiting for an issue, see Publishing an Article as Early View.
A required field is missing in the article
The catalogue requires at least one author, an abstract and a keyword for an article. If one of these is missing in the DergiPark record, the article stays a draft.
- On the Catalogue → Publications screen, open the article.
- Fill in the gaps that the Metadata quality card lists.
- Press Save changes.
- Press Submit for review.
- Press Publish.
If you do not publish the article by hand, the next harvest publishes it when it passes the checks. If the article changes on DergiPark, the next harvest rewrites the record with the information on DergiPark, and the details you added are lost. That is why completing the missing information on DergiPark too is the lasting solution. The details are in Records Harvested from DergiPark.
