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:
- Installed the PKP PN plugin.
- Enabled the plugin.
- 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:
- Does it usually take some time for the status to update? If so, how long should I wait for the content to be deposited?
- 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!
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).
Best,

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.
