Hello everyone and thank you for your help. I have a problem with some issues. In practice I would like to divide the various issues present by year. Those of 2024. Put them in an issue called 2024. The issues of 2023 in an issue called 2023. How can I do this, in addition to clearly creating an issue for each year, putting the individual articles divided by year? Can’t I practically create a 2024 issue and put the issue of the article in it? I hope I explained myself. Thanks to everyone

Hi @simgiallorosso,
There is not really the capability to have subissues within issues, so far as I know. You could technically move all the articles into one issue, but I’m not sure that is what you are aiming for here. If anybody else has managed to do something like this, I’d be curious to hear as well.

clearly if I create issue 2024,2023,2022 etc and move the articles inside it is a solution.
but since I already have issues, I would not like to have to move/recreate the articles one by one inside the issues divided by year, but I wanted to have the possibility of creating issues by year and moving the issues inside the correct year.
in my opinion for a magazine it is a very important thing to have an initial division by year and maybe you could think about implementing it in subsequent versions, if it is not yet possible clearly
Subissues in issues are not common for journals (in complicated book series such as Landolt-Börnstein, there may be subvolumes in volumes or even more complicated hierarchies).
The usual way is putting issues into volumes. One can have one or several volumes per year, and one or several issues per volume. There are even journals where a volume or issue may span two years.
You are free to set your numbering scheme in the issue data tab as you want, see https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/production-publication#create-issue - whether you want to use continuous publication of articles in a year, or a hierarchical organisation. The “issue” is just the smallest unit to group articles, how you number or name it, is up to you (well, not really the smallest, there are still sections, but these are used usually to group similar articles within an issue, e.g. scientific articles, or book reviews. And to make things more complicated, one may even use categories to group articles of similar topic across issues).
However, for an existing journal, it is not recommended to redistribute articles to a new organisation of years/volumes/issues a posteriori, because the published articles already have been cited using year/volume/issue number and so on.
So, it is important to think about a consistent organisation and the publication frequency from the very beginning of a journal and if needed, to adapt it only slightly.

clearly the magazine is still under construction, and that’s why I’m looking for a better solution to organize the articles by year.
I would like to have some sort of grouping buttons by year like this
can’t you do it with a preset search, creating a menu that divides them by year of publication?
I found a solution.
I created a category for each year, and I insert the individual issues in that category divided by year.
I then created a custom block on the right, with the various years written and I linked each one to the correct path collane-editoriali.ingv.it/index.php/qg/catalog/category/2024
This is the only plausible and working solution found.
What do you think?
I would actually like to insert the block with the various years on the home page of the magazine, under the description of the magazine.
Can you help me with this?
ah to make it appear on the home page I inserted it here
