Setting up Journal Website

Clients who wish to have their Journal Website hosted on JAMS should enable this option in the Application Features menu.

Upon enabling this feature, please make sure to click Save button at the end of page in order to confirm your settings.

In the journal settings, please make sure your journal is set as Visible to Authors. If this is not the case, please edit the settings to make the journal visible.

Next step is following the Journal Website Management option from the main menu in order to access website settings.

Upon following this option, you will be greeted with a page as shown in the screenshot below.

First section holds basic details of a journal (logo, name, ISSn number). Logo can be uploaded by hovering over the logo icon and uploading the image file. By clicking the icon right next to the journal name, journal editing page will be available where you can edit all basic details including journal name and ISSN that will be shown on the website.

Second section holds default journal menus (Home, Articles etc) which are reflected on the website as separate tabs with each of them having unique URL (eg. journalname.jams.pub/articles).

Each of the menus can be edited or removed by clicking the corresponding icons on the right end of the tab. New menus can be added via the Add New option and order of the menus can be customized by dragging the tabs to switch position and then clicking Save Order button.

When editing the menu, there are multiple options which can be chosen depending on how you wish for the website page to show. Name field dictates the title of the tab on the website while Parent field dictates where the tab would be presented. If Root option is selected, the page in question will be shown on the banner tab on the website. If user choses to set a different parent tab, then the tab that is being edited will be available as a drop down menu option of chosen root tab. In the Type field, Link and Page options are available. If the editorial office wishes for a tab to redirect the user to a certain page, an URL can be set in the corresponding field.

By choosing option titled Page, editorial office will be able to input content that is going to be shown on the page in question. Text by formatted in different styles by corresponding tools, and sources such as tables, graphics, hyperlinks can be added to the content.

Please note that it is needed to click Save button at the bottom of the page in order for changes to be recorded and reflected on the website.

The snippets section in the Journal Website Management allows editorial office to set up snippets on certain pages. Default snippet sections are allowed for the following pages: Home, For Authors, For Editors and for Reviewers.

Each snippet has a title and a content section which can be easily edited and formatted. Once added to the appropriate sections, snippets will be displayed on the website. Please note that snippets do not hold special URL hence usage of this option for important data that might need to be linked to the content stored in other locations is not recommended.
