Description

PLoS Publishing application now utilizes the 'filter' concept of the Topaz platform to provide multiple journals within the same publishing application. A groovy script /usr/local/topaz/scripts/createjournal.groovy has been provided as part of the package to allow end-users to define their own journals. The main input for the script is an XML containing all the elements which will define a journal. Right now this is a very simple script as we do not have all the information that PLoS feels defines a journal.

Please define both the journals (PLoS ONE and CT) in separate XML files (use your own schema) containing all the elements of the journal (editors, submission policy, eISSN(?), name, etc.). This will be used to modify the createjournal.groovy script to allow easy creation of journal information in the database.

I'm not really sure what to do with pctr journal information as it's not a journal. Let me know if I need to edit the files.

One quick question, which of these fields will not change once created? From a quick glance, it looks to me most of the information can change over time and hence we need to keep a version of it to identify with the articles printed under those particular parameters. So just please let me know the fields that will not change. Makes the information model easier.

(I can probably guess but think a definitive answer will be better)

Removed everything that could change dramatically. Hopefully publisher doesn't change addresses often.

Don't think we have time to change code now, but will need to utilize this for NTD. It would also help to map this to RDF and make it public information.

Assigning this back to Rich, but probably will be jointly worked.
