Publication management

The check box “Is this publication to be published?” (Cette publication est-elle en libre accès ?) is used to upload summaries of issues before publication (filled in as an introduction to the publication in the “Addenda Group” block).

Distribution of electronic files

The “Is this publication open access?” box must be checked for all issues with full-text content available on the journal’s website.

It will generate the detachable ePub and PDF formats and position the issue in the “Full Text Issues” section of the site navigation bar.

Caution:

• Do not check this box if your issue is under mobile barrier. The detachable formats are not available and the issues are presented in the “Latest issues” section. When your magazine reaches the deadline of its mobile barrier, you will have to come back to the form to check it.
• You must check this box if your journal is part of the OpenEdition Freemium for Journals program.

Finally, click on the “Save and View” button at the bottom of the form to finalize the addition of the issue. You can then add the front cover and facsimile of the issue.
