Hi @hokoth,

As per the error message - I wonder if not having it configured properly (e.g. not having an ISSN entered in your setting) is preventing it from providing the Articles tab? You could try entering an ISSN to see if that makes a difference?

Hello Roger,

Thank you for your response.

We do not yet have an ISSN, but we are in the process of obtaining one. The CrossRef team informed us that we can proceed with registering the articles for DOIs without it. However, I’m curious about the implications of entering a placeholder or random number in place of the ISSN. Would it be advisable to wait until we receive the official ISSN?

I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Hi @hokoth,

Thanks for elaborating. We’ve always tended to require the use of an ISSN as being mandatory.
I would strongly encourage waiting until you got an ISSN, and not use a placeholder, as that could have some erroneous consequences.

Noted, @Roger. I sincerely appreciate your prompt response. We will wait for the ISSN and hope that it will resolve the current issue we are facing.
