Publishing an Issue

You publish an issue with the Publish issue button on the issue page. Before publishing, check the issue and its articles with Consistency check.

1. On the issue page, press Consistency check.
2. Check in the notes at the top of the page that nothing is missing.
3. Press Publish issue.
4. To publish the articles as well, tick the Also publish draft and in-review articles box in the dialog.
5. Press Publish issue in the dialog.

The issue becomes visible on the journal page. Articles are not listed on the issue page unless they are published as well. The notification says how many articles were published together with the issue and how many stayed drafts.

Consistency check

The check verifies the volume, number, year and publication date of the issue, whether the journal record is published and the publishing conditions of each article. The row of an article with problems shows its gaps in red. A separate TR Dizin data checks note lists the warnings of the articles for TR Dizin (Türkiye's national citation index), articles with the same title in the issue and overlapping page ranges.

Publishing with the articles

The Also publish draft and in-review articles option requires the permission to publish in the catalogue. If the option is ticked, the draft articles are sent to review and published together with the articles in review. If an article does not meet the publishing conditions, the issue is not published either, and the check shows the article with problems.

If the editor approval rule is on for the installation, the option is called Also publish the in-review articles. Draft articles stay drafts. If there is an article you sent to review, the issue is not published, and another catalogue editor publishes that article. The rule is described in Four-Eyes Principle.

Publishing conditions

• The catalogue record of the journal itself must be published.
• The volume, number, year and publication date of the issue must be entered. The date rule can be turned off in the site settings.
• If the TR Dizin check is mandatory for the journal, an issue whose article data still has TR Dizin warnings is not published. Details are in Preparing for TR Dizin.
• The year of the published articles in the issue must be the same as the year of the issue.

Unpublishing the issue

1. On the issue page, press Unpublish issue.
2. Write a reason of at least 5 characters in the Reason (written to the audit log) field.
3. Confirm.

If the issue has published articles, it cannot be unpublished. Unpublish the articles first. Publishing and unpublishing are written to the audit log.

Required permissions

Publishing and unpublishing an issue require the permission to manage the journal. The editor-in-chief of the journal can publish the issue. Publishing the articles of the issue, however, requires the permission to publish in the catalogue, which the Catalogue editor role has.
