Screens and settings Changed in this version
Platform Access
The addresses of the public site and the panel, short addresses, the release notes, the light and dark themes and screen reader support.
JournTech has two parts. The public site shows the catalogue, the open-access files and the institutional pages to everyone. The panel is where all work is done after you sign in.
Addresses
| Address | What it opens |
|---|---|
/ |
The Turkish home page of the public site |
/en |
The English version of the public site |
/panel |
The panel |
An installation can give the home page an address of its own (e.g. /demo, in English /en/demo). / and /en
then lead to it. The institution can also send these two addresses to another site on its web server.
The Sign in link at the top of the public site also takes you to the panel. Once you have signed in, this link is called My account.
File addresses (/dosya/…) have no language of their own. If a file cannot be opened, the error page appears in the
language of the page you came from. If you came from another site, the page is in your browser's language.
Short addresses
Add one of these shortcuts to the public site's address to open a panel screen directly:
| Short address | Screen it opens |
|---|---|
/en/login |
The sign-in screen |
/en/register |
The registration form |
/en/forgot-password |
Asking for a password reset link |
/en/profile |
My profile |
/en/my-submissions |
My submissions |
/en/submit |
The submission wizard |
/en/saved |
Saved publications |
The Turkish short addresses (/giris, /kayit, /sifremi-unuttum, /profil, /basvurularim, /basvuru/yeni and
/kaydettiklerim) open the same screens.
If you open a panel screen without signing in, the panel first shows the sign-in screen. After you sign in, you return to the screen you wanted to open.
If the panel cannot reach the server while it opens, or the server answers with an error, it does not go to the sign-in screen and does not sign you out. The screen shows "Something went wrong", the cause and the Try again button. Press the button once your connection or the server is back. The panel then opens the screen you wanted.
Release notes
The Release notes link (/en/release-notes) in the footer of the public site lists what is new in each version.
You find which help topics changed in the Versions section.
Light and dark themes
The moon icon at the top of the public site and the panel switches to the dark theme. In the dark theme a sun icon appears in the same place and switches back to the light theme. The button also works without signing in.
Your choice is remembered in this browser and is shared by the public site and the panel. Until you make a choice, the theme follows the setting of your computer or phone.
Keyboard
The panel can also be used with the keyboard alone. The first time you press Tab on a page, the Skip to content link appears. It skips the menu and moves to the content of the page. The arrow keys, Home and End move between tabs. When a dialog opens, the focus moves into it. Esc closes the dialog, and the focus returns to the button that opened it.
Screen readers
On the public site's publication lists and search, choosing a filter or a sort order does not change the list at once. When your choices are done, press Apply filters or Sort. The page reloads after these buttons and when you change the view or the page. The focus moves to the number of results, and the screen reader reads out the new number of results.
In the panel, when a list changes page or a filter returns no results, the number of records or the empty-result message is announced.
The fields of the panel tell the screen reader whether they are required or optional, and read out their errors. File upload areas are read with the name of the file they take (such as “Anonymous manuscript”). The sign-in, registration and password screens also declare the interface language you chose, so the screen reader reads them with the rules of that language.
