How-to
Creating an Issue
Creating a new volume and issue of a journal and entering the year, date, title and special issue details of the issue.
You create a new issue on the Issues tab of the journal. The issue is created as a draft. You publish it after you have added and checked the articles.
- On the Catalogue → Journals & issues screen, open the journal with Manage journal.
- On the Issues tab, press New issue.
- Fill in the Volume, Number and Year fields.
- If you know it, fill in the Publication date field.
- Optionally, enter an Issue title in Turkish and in English.
- If the issue is a special issue, tick the Special issue box.
- Press Create.
The page of the issue opens. Add the articles to the issue as described in Adding Articles to an Issue.
Fields
- Volume is a number. The dialog fills this field with the latest volume of the journal.
- Number has at most 16 characters and can also be a name such as "Special".
- Year is a four-digit year. The year of the articles in the issue must be the same as this year.
- Publication date is needed to publish the issue. You can also enter the date later.
A journal cannot have a second issue with the same volume and issue number.
Changing the issue details
You change the details of the issue on the Issue details card of the issue page. The Editor's note is on this card too. If you change the volume or issue number of a published issue, the old address of the issue redirects to the new one.
Issues without a date
To publish old issues whose date is unknown, a system administrator can turn off the Journal issues need a date to be published switch on the Administration → Site settings → Workflow tab. The switch is on by default.
