Is it possible to change the publication type from article to conference paper e.g. in the OAI metadata or for export to ORCID?

In OJS 3.3, the publication type is always “journal article”. In the OAI metadata, the line <dc:type>info-eu-repo/semantics/article</dc> is always present. When you push a record to your ORCID profile, the publication is also always shown as a ‘journal article’.

We also use OJS to publish conference papers. Is there a way to change the publication type during the submission workflow or when publishing a paper?

In the ORCID plugin template “journal-article” is entered directly in the template ($orcidReview[‘subject-type’] = ‘journal-article’), so it seems that you have to change the template to change the publication type. Is this correct or is it possible to change the publication type for on export to ORCID in some way?

Hi @bibliothekswelt,

One thing to try would be to alter your section policies to identify the items published under that section explicitly as a conference paper: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/3.3/en/journal-setup#edit-a-section

You might have to unpublish/republish articles to see the changes take effect. Perhaps you could do that with a test issue to see how it impacts both OAI and OMP?

We had this as a potential topic in the CRAFT-OA project, namely having a Content Type Taxonomy in OJS to allow to distinquish between different content types. The idea was to have some taxonomy that would allow us to add a machine readable content type to each submission, ie. article, review, editorial etc. This data could then be used in all sorts of things, for example OAI.

The problem was that it is hard to find a fitting taxonomy for this purpose so we did not move forward with this issue.
