Janeway can mint CrossRef and DataCite DOIs and, if working with data imported from other platforms, can also maintain existing publisher IDs such as an OJS ID. Identifiers can be managed on an individual basis or, for CrossRef DOIs, in bulk.

Identifiers associated with an article can be found through Identifiers under Logs, documents and more.

The identifiers page, displaying a list of identifiers associated with the article, including a DOI, OJS ID, and DOAJ ID. For DOIs, there are options to register, poll, deposit, and view the response XML. Delete buttons are available for all identifiers.

Tip

Advanced: You can also manage CrossRef DOIs in bulk at the journal level as an editor (and at the press level as a staff user) using the DOI Manager.

Note

Advanced: DataCite DOIs do not appear on the identifiers page and must be managed through the DataCite plugin.

Affiliation metadata in Janeway is managed using the Research Organization Registry. ROR assigns persistent identifiers to organizations, similar to how DOIs identify articles, ORCIDs identify people, and ISBNs identify books. This allows multiple names to be associated with a single organization, making discovery and display easier and enabling linked open data. To read more about ROR (and CRediT) on Janeway, see Metadata on Janeway.

Google Scholar indexing is automatic. Google uses a web crawler to identify relevant materials such as articles, monographs, preprints, and reports. It takes some time for new journals to appear on Google Scholar, and for changes to existing content to show. Google Scholar advises that changes may take 6–9 months to appear.

If your journal is not indexed correctly, contact support. When investigating indexing issues yourself, compare the galleys against the meta-tags in the HTML to check for discrepancies.

Publisher notes appear on the article page below the abstract and how-to-cite block. They can be used to notify readers of minor changes to a paper, such as a post-publication correction for a spelling error. Publisher notes can be edited from the Article archive page.
