Enable the ability to post "preprints" from unpublished ToC
Last modified: 2012-09-21 13:08:32 PDT
To offer the ability for ED to provide readers with access to "preprints" once they have entered the ToC of a Future Issue, prior to the publication of the issue. This will require the following: A. Setup 4.1 Add a subsection at the end of 4.1 Preprint Capability [ ] Enable the Editor to designate individual articles as preprints, making them available to readers prior to the publication of the issue they are in, as soon as the submission has been scheduled in the Table of Contents for a future issue. B. Future Issues Once enabled in all Table of Contents for Future Issues, there needs to be an additional column of check boxes (reduce title length) to the right of REMOVE, named PRE, with a note at the bottom under the [Save] button Note: To release submissions as preprints for readers to view, prior to publishing this issue, check PRE and Save. C. Displaying Preprints If there are any designated preprints in the journal, then a Preprints link appears in the right hand column, under By Author. It leads to a page with the the title Preprints .... [Title of Section, as per Table of Contents style] [Ttitle of article] Vol X, No Z (YYYY) [Formats] [Authors] [Ttitle of article] Vol X, No Z (YYYY) [Formats] [Authors] [Title of Section, as per Table of Contents style] [Ttitle of article] Vol X, No Z (YYYY) [Formats] [Authors] Articles disappear from list, when issue is published.
We should prepare this for a single file format, with a default cover page (as per attachment), with the while thing typically in PDF, but potentially LaTeX or even Word, as prepared by the editor or layout editor.
Created attachment 1247 [details] Default cover page for pre-print The default cover page can be generated as as an addition to the version that the editor designates for passing on to the copyeditor. It can then be designated as the preprint version. By the same token, the pp cover page can pasted in (from a model found, say, off a "Preprint Cover Page" link, available with Editor upload options). Preprint: 233-1234-pp [Post] 2009-12-23 [Preprint Cover Page] Preprints would appear in their own otherwise standard table of contents, with a new entry in the top tool bar... CURRENT ISSUE PREPRINTS ARCHIVES
It might be a good time to revisit this feature request. We do get occasional preprint feature requests (eg. http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7037&p=27197#p27197 would be the latest one), and while there is a standard workaround (publishing an issue and calling it a preprint issue), I think there's enough demand to consider adding this as a feature. Scheduling against 2.3.4, although perhaps better to schedule against 2.3.5 (which doesn't yet exist)?
