Troubleshooting
An article cannot be published until it is placed in an issue
If an article record does not publish because of an issue warning, place the article in an issue, publish it together with the issue or use early view.
An article is published only while it is in a published journal issue, or as early view in its journal. Until then, the record's Metadata quality card lists the issue as a missing required item. Follow the section below that matches the warning on the card.
The article is not placed in an issue
The warning "Place the article in an issue, or publish it as early view in its journal." appears on the card.
- In the record's Placement section, fill in the Journal and Issue fields.
- Press Save changes.
You can also add the article with the Add article field on the issue's own page. The steps are in Adding Articles to an Issue.
The issue is not published yet
The warning "Publish the issue first, or publish the article together with it." appears on the card. There are two ways:
- Publish the issue first, then publish the article.
- Publish the issue together with its articles with the Also publish draft and in-review articles option.
The steps are in Publishing an Issue.
The journal record is not published
The warning "Publish the journal first." appears on the card. Publish the journal's own catalogue record first. Until the journal record is published, its issues and articles cannot be published.
The article's year differs from the issue's year
The article's Publication year field must match the year of the issue. The card shows the issue's year. Correct the article's year and save.
Publishing without waiting for an issue
To publish the article in its journal without placing it in an issue, use early view. The details are in Publishing an Article as Early View.
