Interlinking Submissions: Preprints, Reviews, Related Submissions

Feature Requests
#1

In OPS, when a preprint has been published in a journal, the DOI of the published article can be added to the preprint metadata, for display on the public interface.

C.f.: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ops/en/editorial-workflow#preprint-status

At the PKP Sprint in Helsinki and within internal discussions, additional use cases for this kind of submission interlinking have been proposed. Specifically:

  • Reviews: reviews may be copyedited and then published, and linked to the reviewed submission
  • Related Submissions: submissions may be tagged as related to another submission (errata, lexicons, etc)
  • Preprint versions: submissions may link back to their preprint versions.

In the case of Reviews and Preprints, this interlinking relates directly to CrossRef review metadata and posted content metadata.

The use of DOIs for this interlinking is attractive, but there may be an argument for a general use case of an arbitrary xlink to form content relationships.

Very much agree on this.

Yes, let’s say that DOI has become “the de facto standard” for articles, but let’s remember that it has a cost (that not everybody could afford) and it is not a real standard, so I would be in favor of using other standards that do not have a cost to implement this kind of links.

How can I add the management of a preprint to my OJS, I already searched and I don’t know how to add relations

This feature does not yet exist, but it was proposed at the PKP Sprint in Helsinki in June, 2022. @Nadia_Patricia_Rodri , can you describe specifically what you hope this linking will do so we can better build out this Feature Request?
