Preparing for TR Dizin
Checking how ready a journal is for the TR Dizin criteria with the checklist on the TR Dizin tab, fixing the gaps and turning on the strict check.
The TR Dizin tab of the journal checks the details, boards, recent issues and article data of the journal against the journal criteria of TR Dizin, the national citation index of Türkiye run by TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM. The list shows whether the data is ready. You still upload the issues and articles to TR Dizin yourself, through ODİS, the journal system of TR Dizin.
Reading the list
| Group | What is checked |
|---|---|
| Journal details | ISSN, Turkish and English journal title, abbreviation, publisher, scope in two languages, field, publication frequency and months, the minimum number of issues a year for the field, languages, contact details, open access and licence, indexes and former titles |
| Guidelines and policies | Author guidelines, reference style, abstract limit, article template, policies and similarity check |
| Boards | Editor-in-chief, section and language editors, the institution and location details of the members, the share of external members on the editorial board, and ORCID |
| Recent issues | The number of issues published in recent years, combined and special issues, match with the publication months, and continuous page numbering within a volume |
| Article data (last two years) | English data, completeness of the second language, ORCID, institution, dates, references, ethics committee statement, article type, DOI and abstract limit |
Each row carries the Done, Warning, Missing or Suggestion label. Above the list you see the number of done, warning and missing rows and the time of the check.
Fixing the gaps
- In a missing or warning row, press the Fix link. The link opens the tab where you fix the gap. In the template and index rows it goes straight to the field concerned.
- Fix the gap and save.
- Go back to the TR Dizin tab and press Check again.
The link in the journal title, abbreviation, publisher, open access and licence rows opens the catalogue record of the journal. If you do not have the permission to open this record, ask a catalogue editor to correct these details.
The link in the article data rows opens the Issues tab. The Consistency check button on the issue screen shows the TR Dizin warnings of each article separately.
Strict check
If the Hold issues to the TR Dizin data checks switch is on, an issue whose article data still has TR Dizin warnings cannot be published. While the switch is off, the warnings are for information only. The setting is saved the moment you change the switch. Journals that turn on the strict check also get the ODİS upload reminders.
TR Dizin record
If a system administrator turned on the Show TR Dizin data feature flag, the TR Dizin record card appears at the top of the tab. The card reads the open data of TR Dizin by the ISSN of the journal. It shows whether the journal is indexed in TR Dizin and, by year, the numbers of missing issues, missing review reports and expert warnings.
The record refreshes automatically once a week. To refresh it now, press Fetch from TR Dizin. Because the record is read by ISSN, the journal must have an ISSN. If there is no ISSN, the card says so.
The steps for uploading issues to ODİS are in Downloading the ODİS Package.
