An article cannot be added to the issue

The Add article field of an issue searches only article records. If the article cannot be found or a warning appears when you add it, check the causes below.

The article is in another issue

An article can be in only one issue. The warning reads "The article is in another issue." First remove the article from the table of contents of the other issue, or change its issue in the Placement section of its record.

The article does not belong to this journal

If your role was granted for one journal only, you can add to the issue only the articles of that journal, that is records released from submissions to the journal. In this case the warning reads "This article cannot be placed: a journal's editors place only their journal's articles (released from submissions to the journal). Catalogue editors place other records." Have a catalogue editor place the other records.

The record is not an article or has been deleted

Only records of the article type can be added to an issue. A book chapter or a proceedings paper is linked to a book, not to an issue. A deleted article does not appear in the search. First find it with the Show deleted filter in the Publications list and restore it.

A published article cannot be added to an unpublished issue

A published article, for example one in early view, goes only into a published issue. The warning reads "Publish the issue first." Publish the issue first, then add the article.

A published article cannot be removed from the issue

To remove a published article from the issue, unpublish the article first. The warning reads "Unpublish the issue's published articles first." An archived or retracted article cannot leave its issue at all. In this case the warning reads "An archived or retracted article cannot leave its issue."
