How to avail PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) service?

Dear Friends,

I’m new to using PKP OJS and have recently activated the PKP PN plugin by following instructions from YouTube videos and other online resources. Here are the steps I took:

  1. Installed the PKP PN plugin.
  2. Enabled the plugin.
  3. Accessed the plugin settings and accepted the Terms of Use.
    However, even after a week, the status still displays: “The PKP PLN does not know about this journal yet.”
    I have a couple of questions:
  4. Does it usually take some time for the status to update? If so, how long should I wait for the content to be deposited?
  5. Is there a possibility that I missed any crucial steps during the activation process?
    I would appreciate your guidance and any suggestions to ensure this service is set up properly. I am currently using 3.3.0.15 version.

Thank you!

Hi @rcgillis ,

The journal name is “Dera Natung Government College Research Journal”.
URL: https://dngc.ac.in/journals/index.php/dngcrj

I am not aware of the term UUID.
Thanks!

Hi @editordngcrj,

Thanks - I don’t see it in our listings - when did you setup your PKP PN plugin? It could be that it just takes a little while for it to get into the PKP PN.

@rcgillis can you check the listing by Journal Identity number ? I am attaching a screen shot for your kind perusal. Or you may suggest me some other means to avail this service.

Thanks!

Hi @editordngcrj,

I didn’t see it in our lists. It could be that it is just taking a bit of time to register within the PKP PN service. When did you register/enable the plugin?

Hi @rcgillis

I do not remember the exact that but it has been more than a week since the registration…

Thanks!

Hi @rcgillis,

Hi!

I’ve manually updated your journal to be accepted, you should see an updated status at maximum in 1 day from now (the plugin runs once per day).

Hi @jonasraoni,

Nothing has changed so far. The process hasn’t started yet.

Hi @jonasraoni !!!

The status still shows “The PKP does not know about this journal yet”. I am attaching the screenshot for your reference.

Kind regards

Hi!

We received 58 deposits from your journal, so I guess it’s everything working fine, this topic will be self-closed in 9 days.

Hi @jonasraoni

Which journal are you referring to about the deposition of 58 articles? It seems there are two journals involved in this topic.

Hi!

This was about the https://eco.mdp.edu.ar/revistas/index.php/faces, I didn’t see the other one, but I’ve also updated the other (https:/​/​dngc.ac.in/​journals/​index.php/​dngcrj).

Hi @jonasraoni

Thank you so much for your help. The status has changed and it seems deposition process has started.
Thank you again.

Hi @jonasraoni

I’m writing you from another journal that is a similar situation.
The plugin is not displaying any progress since we activated it 6 weeks ago.

Our data:

We’d appreciate if you could manually update our journal to be accepted.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

I did the same for your journal, I’ll take a look at what’s happening internally, this process should be automated.
