Add Volumes and Issues

Volumes and Issues

Find the ‘Volume & Issue Management’ tab in the ‘Publishing’ menu and select the ‘Add a New Volume’ button at the top of the screen.

Volumes

Select the Journal you would like the Volume to be a part of.

Note: Your Journal must have ‘Visible to Authors’ ticked in the Journals Settings in order to create Volumes.

Fill out the rest of the information in the ‘Add Volume’ section including the year of the volume, the number of the volume, and the name (the name will not appear on the website). After pressing ‘Submit’, the volume will now appear in the Volume Management list.

Issues

To add an Issue to your Volume, click the ‘+’ in order to add the correct number of issues.

This will take you to the ‘Add Issue’ page. Fill in the required information and press ‘Submit’. The issue has now been added to the volume. You can now repeat as necessary.

Special Issues

In order to manage your Special Issues, locate the ‘Special Issues’ tab in the ‘Publishing’ menu.

To add a Special Issue, select ‘Add new Special Issue’ and then fill out the relevant information: title, deadlines, keywords, and a description of the topic.

After submitting, the pen symbol can be used to modify the information on the Special Issue listing, and the bin symbol will delete the Special Issue.

Note: you can only completely delete a Special Issue when there are no pending manuscripts.
