Code4Lib Journal Entries in Directory of Open Access Journals

2023-04-21T15:49:37Z

Samato: Updating with info from April 2023

There are two ways to get metadata into the Directory of Open Access Journals: 1) by hand, or 2) through the use of an XML file. ''(UPDATE 2014-01-22: DOAJ says, "Until further notice, publishers will only able to upload article metadata to us, using an XML file...Temporarily, publishers will no longer be able to submit metadata to us on an article-by-article basis. If you are unable to produce the XML file, we suggest that you wait until we have reinstated the article-by-article upload feature.")''
Before you do either method, please keep in mind the following things:

# We chose not to have volume numbers, just issue numbers. Issue numbers will just keep incrementing.
# We decided that the "record number" for an article is the article-id that shows up in the WordPress URI. That is, they are not sequential, numbers are skipped. That's fine. So there is no 'start page', but there is a 'record number'; there is no 'end page'.
# Enter the abstract and authors affiliation exactly as found in our published articles.
# Enter keywords if there are any. If not, leave this blank

==Semi-Automated==

To use the XML file to do data entry:
# make sure the WordPress databases is up-to-date,
# go to http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue#/feed/doaj (replace # with the current issue number) to get the necessary XML. (eg http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue5/feed/doaj.)
# edit the XML [http://journal.code4lib.org/doaj/ so each author is in a element by themselves] (as of April 2023 this seems to happen automatically),
# validate the XML against the Directory's schema,
#* Download a copy of the DOAJ schema, http://www.doaj.org/static/doaj/doajArticles.xsd , to your computer along with the XML file you've just edited.
#* Upload both files to a schema validator service such as http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate/ (as of April 2023 the xsd gave an error, but journal xml seemed fine and did load to doaj)
# Go to the URL listed in the article tracking spreadsheet (administrivia tab) and upload the fruits of your labors.

Note: if there are any sub-elements in the XML fields (e.g., HTML tags), the document will not validate. Also of note, Windows often creates character encoding that breaks with UTF-8, throwing an error on validation.

More info about the feed and how to customize the XML for import into DOAJ:

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

Hello Author Name -

We expect the journal to publish {put approximate date here}. As a reminder, publication is contingent on final review by the editorial board.

Thank you for your contribution to the C4LJ community.

/// Article Viewing Instructions ///

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

For more information, visit C4LJ’s Article Guidelines or browse articles from the earlier issues published on our website: https://journal.code4lib.org.

== Proposal Rejected ==

<pre>
We regret to inform you that your recent proposal to the Code4Lib Journal for an article about <topic/title> has not been accepted for publication. The Editorial Committee determined that it was not an appropriate match for the audience, mission, or scope of the Code4Lib Journal. [optional - comment about why it's not appropriate]

Thanks for considering us, and please do not hesitate to submit a new or revised proposal in the future.
</pre>

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the <nth> issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid <Month YYYY>, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal by Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were done and the challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ’s Article Guidelines or browse articles from the earlier issues published on our website: https://journal.code4lib.org.

== Call for proposals ==

Post to the [[Code4Lib Journal Publicity Venues]].

<pre>
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the <nth> issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid <Month YYYY>, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal@code4lib.org by Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were done and the challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ’s Article Guidelines or browse articles from the earlier issues published on our website: https://journal.code4lib.org.

Remember, for consideration for the <nth> issue, please send proposals, abstracts, or draft articles to https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal no later than Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. (Use journal@code4lib.org if sending attachments.)

Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.

== Proposal Accepted ==

See also [[Code4Lib Journal Deadlines]].

I'm pleased to tell you that your recent proposal for an article about <TOPIC/TITLE> has been provisionally accepted to the Code4Lib Journal. The editorial committee is interested in your proposal, and would like to see a draft.

<ADDITIONAL COMMENTS about focus we'd like to see in the article or
editorial committee concerns. Sample language: "We're especially
interested in X, and we'd like you to make sure to flesh this out when
you write the article." or "We're interested in this proposal if you
can do X, Y, or Z.">

As a member of the Code4Lib Journal editorial committee, I will be your contact for this article and will work with you to get it ready for publication.  Working with me is second reader <SECOND READER>.

<PICK_ONE>

Publishing an article in the Code4Lib Journal is a collaborative effort between the authors and editors.  The journal's editors work with authors throughout the draft-writing process to create a clear and useful article for the Code4Lib Journal audience.  That works best when a collaborative editing environment is used; we typically use Google Docs, but other tools such as Office 365 and even Etherpad can work as well.  When you have a draft ready for us to look at, please send me a link.

<OR>

Publishing an article in the Code4Lib Journal is a collaborative effort between the authors and editors. When you have a draft ready for us to look at, please send it to me in a common word processor format (for instance, DOCX for Microsoft Word or ODT for LibreOffice/OpenOffice). I will return it to you with my comments and the comments from other journal editors.

</PICK_ONE>

We hope to publish your article in issue <ISSUE> of the Journal, which is scheduled to appear <APPROXIMATE PUBLICATION DATE>.  To keep us on that publishing schedule, we have a series of deadlines—the first is the submission of a draft is <FIRST DRAFT DUE DATE>, but the sooner you can get us a draft the better—and the more likely we'll be able to get your article into the issue. Upon receipt of the draft, I will work with you to address any changes recommended by the Editorial Committee.  More information about our author guidelines may be found at http://journal.code4lib.org/article-guidelines.

Please note that final drafts must be approved by a vote of the Editorial Committee before being published.

We also require all authors to agree to US CC-BY licensing for the articles we publish in the journal. We recommend that any included code also have some type of code-specific open source license (such as the GPL). If the work described in the article makes use of personally identifiable information (PII), please confirm that proper approval was received from the relevant institutional review boards or equivalent bodies. Also please consider whether any of your images or screenshots require attributions.

We look forward to seeing a complete draft and hope to include it in the Journal. Thank you for submitting to us, and feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

If you could drop me a line acknowledging receipt of this email, that would be great.

== Proposal Rejected ==

<pre>
We regret to inform you that your recent proposal to the Code4Lib Journal for an article about <topic/title> has not been accepted for publication. The Editorial Committee determined that it was not an appropriate match for the audience, mission, or scope of the Code4Lib Journal. [optional - comment about why it's not appropriate]

For more information about the mission of the Code4Lib Journal, please see http://journal.code4lib.org/mission/.

Thanks for considering us, and please do not hesitate to submit a new or revised proposal in the future.
</pre>

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

Samato: /* Call for proposals */

''See also [[Code4Lib_Journal_Deadlines]]''

== Call for proposals ==

Post to the [[Code4Lib Journal Publicity Venues]].

<pre>
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the <nth> issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid <Month YYYY>, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal@code4lib.org by Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were done and the challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ’s Article Guidelines or browse articles from the earlier issues published on our website: https://journal.code4lib.org.

Remember, for consideration for the <nth> issue, please send proposals, abstracts, or draft articles to https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal no later than Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. (Use journal@code4lib.org if sending attachments.)

Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.

</pre>

== Proposal Accepted ==

See also [[Code4Lib Journal Deadlines]].

<pre>
I'm pleased to tell you that your recent proposal for an article about
<topic/title> has been provisionally accepted to the Code4Lib Journal.
The editorial committee is interested in your proposal, and would like
to see a draft.

<Additional comments about focus we'd like to see in the article or
editorial committee concerns. Sample language: "We're especially
interested in X, and we'd like you to make sure to flesh this out when
you write the article." or "We're interested in this proposal if you
can do X, Y, or Z.">

As a member of the Code4Lib Journal editorial committee, I will be
your contact for this article, and will work with you to get it ready
for publication.

We hope to publish your article in issue <n> of the Journal, which is
scheduled to appear mid <Month YYYY>. The deadline for submission
of a complete draft is Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>, but the sooner you

Committee. More information about our author guidelines may be found

We look forward to seeing a complete draft and hope to include it in
the Journal. Thank you for submitting to us, and feel free to contact
me directly with any questions.

If you could drop me a line acknowledging receipt of this email, that
would be great.
</pre>

== Proposal Rejected ==

<pre>
We regret to inform you that your recent proposal to the Code4Lib Journal for an article about <topic/title> has not been accepted for publication. The Editorial Committee determined that it was not an appropriate match for the audience, mission, or scope of the Code4Lib Journal. [optional - comment about why it's not appropriate]

For more information about the mission of the Code4Lib Journal, please see http://journal.code4lib.org/mission/.

Thanks for considering us, and please do not hesitate to submit a new or revised proposal in the future.
</pre>

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

== Call for proposals ==

Post to the [[Code4Lib Journal Publicity Venues]].

<pre>
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.
To be included in the <nth> issue, which is scheduled for publication
in mid <Month YYYY>, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal@code4lib.org
by Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. When submitting, please include the title
or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission
of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including
how they were done and the challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality,
they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the
middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ’s Article Guidelines or browse articles from the earlier issues published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org.

Remember, for consideration for the <nth> issue, please send proposals,
abstracts, or draft articles to https://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal
no later than Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. (Use journal@code4lib.org if
sending attachments.)

== Proposal Rejected ==

<pre>
We regret to inform you that your recent proposal to the Code4Lib Journal for an article about <topic/title> has not been accepted for publication. The Editorial Committee determined that it was not an appropriate match for the audience, mission, or scope of the Code4Lib Journal. [optional - comment about why it's not appropriate]

</pre>

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines

2019-04-23T17:12:02Z

Samato: /* Bibliographies/Endnotes */

Please follow the guidelines below when creating or editing Code4Lib Journal articles in WordPress. Enter all articles as "Posts".

==The WP Admin Interface==
To get to WordPress interface for entering an article, choose 'Site Admin' from the footer of any Journal page, login if necessary, and then choose Write//Write Post from the WP admin menus. (Alternatively, go to http://journal.code4lib.org/wp-admin/). If you don't have a WordPress editor login and need one, talk to our web admin (Tom Keays).

==Proofs for Authors==
A read-only login that is shared with authors can be found in the 'Administrivia' tab/worksheet of our Google Docs article tracking spreadsheet.

==Title==
Title, including the subtitle, goes in the "Title" field.

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

==Article Content==
The body of the article goes in the "Post" field. Use HTML markup appropriately and semantically, ''e.g.'', <code><em></code> for emphasized text, <code><strong></code> for strongly emphasized text, <code><blockquote></code> when quoting blocks of text. Avoid such monstrosities as <code><font></code> and <code><blink></code>.

===Headings===
The top-level header (<code><h1></code>) is used for the title of the post, so start with second-level headers (<code><h2></code>) for sections of the article,
<code><h3></code> for sub-sections, <code><h4></code> if you need a lower level. <code><h2></code> are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. <code><h3></code> and <code><h4></code> are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. Any header from second- to sixth-level may be used as appropriate.

===Pasting from Word===

If you just paste content from Word into WP, it ends up with REALLY BAD html.
Fortunately, WP has a built-in feature to help with this.
Open the 'advanced toolbar' in editing GUI (right-most link), then click on the paste-from-word icon.
This transforms Word's html into really nice pretty html.
Alternatively, use the [http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html.php Word DOC to HTML converter].

===Figures & Tables===
Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". In general, we bold the figure / table label using the strong tag.

For example:
<pre>
<p class = "caption">
<img src = "....">
<strong>Figure X.</strong> How to Caption an Image.
</p>

<div class = "caption">
<strong>Table X.</strong> How to Caption a Table.
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</div>
</pre>
Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

===Images and Attached Content===
In-line images should be no wider than 500px. See above section for captioning and image

'''Uploading files manually'''

To upload images or other attached media / files, you will need to upload the content to our ibiblio host site manually.

To do that, sftp to login.ibiblio.org. See the Administrivia tab in the shared "C4LJ Article Tracking" doc for the username and password.

Change directory to:
/public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/media

in there you'll find an "issue1" subdir (or issueX subdir--if you don't, create one or ask for help creating one!). Inside THERE, create a subdir with the last name of the first author, and put all your image and other attached content in there. This sort of url will be used in the "<img src>" tag:
/media/issue1/smith/imagename.png

Add to your img src or a href's as desired. You can use this not just for images, but for extended code attachments, etc. (see below)

'''Uploading media via WordPress'''

Before uploading files to WordPress, you will need to change permissions on the directory where you are putting the files.
# Login to c4ljeditor@login.ibiblio.org. Ask Tom Keays for the password for the c4ljeditor account (or see this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/msg/fad004416f12ac25 post] on c4lj-articles).
# Change the directory to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/
# WordPress tries to write the files to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/[current year]/[current month]. If the current year or month directory does not yet exist, create them, "mkdir [current year]" or mkdir "[current month]" in the appropriate directory. Creating the directory while logged in makes the owner and group of the directory c4ljeditor and c4lj respectively. Wordpress will create the directories as nobody/nobody.
# Change the permissions on the [current month] directory from 755 to 777, "chmod 777 [current month]".
# In the WordPress editor, click the "Add an Image" button.
# Browse to and select your image/file.
# Click the Upload button.
# File in the Alternate text and Caption fields.
# Select the size of the image you want to display in the article.
# Click "Insert into Post".
# On the ibiblio.org server, change the permissions on the current month's directory back to 775, "chmod 775 [current month]"

==== Video ====

We haven't had too much video, but we just had one (a screencast). The option we used was hosting on archive.org. Upload the video, click on the IA 'pillars' icon on the resulting video on the archive.org page to get an 'iframe' embed code, which works fine in our wordpress html source, and I believe the archive.org infrastructure will take care of translating the video to multiple formats and delivering in the proper format for a given browser. Very convenient.

Include a visible link to the archive.org URL for the individual video page as a caption, so printed or otherwise captured versions of the article will always have that link.

You don't need to use archive.org if you or we figure out a better way, it's just one option that worked very conveniently so far.

===Code===

If code is attached as a file, follow the directions above for attached images, except:

* If there is not a folder for the author, create it, according to the guidelines above for images
* Create a subfolder under the author's folder for "code". Insert code files here
* In the article link to the files using the path format http://path-to-the-server/media/issueNumber/authorname/code/filename (e.g., http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/code/something.pl)

ibiblio also has a PHPS extension, so if you an "s" on the end of .php files it will display the code rather than try to interpret the page:
<filename>.phps

Put all inline code in <code><pre></code> tags.

====Code Highlighting====
If the code is in a supported language, we can do syntax highlighting.

Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin:

<pre>
[sourcecode language='php']
RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed
[/sourcecode]
</pre>

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to "text" (no syntax highlighting). Supported languages include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>. Pretty much everything except <tt>perl</tt>. For a full list consult: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Note: do not surround code with <tt><pre></tt> tags, as the <tt>[sourcecode]</tt> tag itself will generate the necessary HTML.

For more subtleties of code formatting, see this gist from editor Péter Király https://gist.github.com/pkiraly/c48193925ad3806c31ef010b58e8600f

====Ampersand Issues====
We've had some problems with ampersand handling in the sourcecode sections. If you notice extra amp;s in your article, such as "&amp;amp;" and "&amp;amp;amp;", and you're comfortable using only the HTML editor for article entry, try checking the "Disable the visual editor when writing" box on your profile page in the admin.

==Abstract==

Abstracts should be placed in the Excerpt box, displayed a little ways below the "Post" field. If you do not see the Excerpt box, look under "Screen Options" in the top right of the page. Selecting the down arrow will display fields to show on the screen. Make sure that 'Excerpt' is selected. This will display the Excerpt (abstract) input box on the page.

Use HTML markup as appropriate. What you put in this field is what will be distributed in our syndication feed and what will appear before the article as the abstract.

Assigned editors are ultimately responsible for a good abstract. Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==
Items in a bibliography should be linked to the resource whenever possible.

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncategorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish
:Saves the article, sets the post status to Pending Review and assigns a timestamp to the article.

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

==WordPress Post Status==
An article has four possible statuses. However, only the first three statuses are available to editors.
;Draft
:Use for not yet complete articles. Only editors can see these.
;Pending Review
:Use for sharing the article with authors. Editors and anyone logged in with user ID 17 (i.e., the author account) can see these. See this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/1231b06c09f1289f post] on c4lj-articles for the login information for the author account (username: author).
;Private
:We don't use this option anymore.
;Published
:A published post is visible to everyone. It is part of the RSS feed. If you're editing an already published post, don't select anything in the post status form, just hit Save.

==Publishing an Issue==

# Let everyone on the c4lj-articles list know you are getting ready to publish (so they can save and close any open articles).
# Log in to WordPress
# Make sure that all articles for the issue have the correct issue category selected and have been set to 'Pending Review'. Make sure that the "Uncategorized" and "Issues" categories are unchecked (only the specific issue should be selected).
# Sanity check: count the number of posts which should appear in the publish list
# Click on Posts -> Issues (on the left side)
# Click on "Publish" for the issue you'd like to publish.
## You'll get a list of every "Pending Review" article in that issue. Make sure the number of articles in the list matches your previous count. Don't see all the articles you think you should see? They could be still in Draft status, or not in the correct Issue category, or still have "Uncategorized" selected, or someone may still have it in edit mode. Go back to the posts list and make any necessary changes, and start from #5 again.
# Drag and drop the article titles until they're in the order you want. The order you see there is the order you'll see on the home page (and probably the opposite of the order you'll see in your feed reader).
## Note: It's the coordinating editor's responsibility to decide what order he or she would like the articles to show up in, and order them appropriately when publishing the issue. In general, we try to put the articles with the widest appeal first, and special types (columns, special reports, book reviews, etc.) at the end.
# Click on Posts -> Categories (on the left side)
# Make sure all three fields for the current issue are filled in and correct:
## The human-readable name of the issue goes into the Name field -- e.g., "Issue 15".
## The date of publication goes into the Description field -- e.g., "2011-10-31".
## The URL name goes into the Slug field -- e.g., "issue15" would give the URL of the issue, http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue15
# Click "Publish Issue" (optionally setting the publication time, first). Setting the time should only have an impact on readers who are not logged into the c4lj site. Editors will be able to see the published articles.
# Go to the Journal front page; check the number of articles is correct (again) and that they are in the right order. If there is a problem, go back to the admin interface, click on Posts -> Issues and click Unpublish for the issue. Make whatever corrections are needed and proceed from #5 again.
# Once the issue is finally published, go to [[Code4Lib_Journal_Entries_in_Directory_of_Open_Access_Journals]] and follow the directions to upload the issue metadata to DOAJ.
# Submit URLS to Internet Archives for harvest ([https://gist.github.com/ruthtillman/fa7562989f299e4904c7fb0448d1fc83#file-waybacksubmit-py Wayback Submission Script] )
# Send out announcements (see [[Code4Lib_Journal_Publicity_Venues]])
# Update [http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee#coordinating Coordinating Editor] on the Editorial Committee page to state the name of the editor for the next issue.

==Corrections==
See [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/8eaabcff2d9c000d/a0aeeb9367fcea5f?lnk=gst&q=errata#a0aeeb9367fcea5f|the editors' list] for how to make corrections. Generally, use an Errata or Correction section at the end with information about the change that was made and have the actual text link down to that section. See also [[Code4Lib_Corrections]]

Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncategorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish
:Saves the article, sets the post status to Pending Review and assigns a timestamp to the article.

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

==WordPress Post Status==
An article has four possible statuses. However, only the first three statuses are available to editors.
;Draft
:Use for not yet complete articles. Only editors can see these.
;Pending Review
:Use for sharing the article with authors. Editors and anyone logged in with user ID 17 (i.e., the author account) can see these. See this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/1231b06c09f1289f post] on c4lj-articles for the login information for the author account (username: author).
;Private
:We don't use this option anymore.
;Published
:A published post is visible to everyone. It is part of the RSS feed. If you're editing an already published post, don't select anything in the post status form, just hit Save.

==Publishing an Issue==

# Let everyone on the c4lj-articles list know you are getting ready to publish (so they can save and close any open articles).
# Log in to WordPress
# Make sure that all articles for the issue have the correct issue category selected and have been set to 'Pending Review'. Make sure that the "Uncategorized" and "Issues" categories are unchecked (only the specific issue should be selected).
# Sanity check: count the number of posts which should appear in the publish list
# Click on Posts -> Issues (on the left side)
# Click on "Publish" for the issue you'd like to publish.
## You'll get a list of every "Pending Review" article in that issue. Make sure the number of articles in the list matches your previous count. Don't see all the articles you think you should see? They could be still in Draft status, or not in the correct Issue category, or still have "Uncategorized" selected, or someone may still have it in edit mode. Go back to the posts list and make any necessary changes, and start from #5 again.
# Drag and drop the article titles until they're in the order you want. The order you see there is the order you'll see on the home page (and probably the opposite of the order you'll see in your feed reader).
## Note: It's the coordinating editor's responsibility to decide what order he or she would like the articles to show up in, and order them appropriately when publishing the issue. In general, we try to put the articles with the widest appeal first, and special types (columns, special reports, book reviews, etc.) at the end.
# Click on Posts -> Categories (on the left side)
# Make sure all three fields for the current issue are filled in and correct:
## The human-readable name of the issue goes into the Name field -- e.g., "Issue 15".
## The date of publication goes into the Description field -- e.g., "2011-10-31".
## The URL name goes into the Slug field -- e.g., "issue15" would give the URL of the issue, http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue15
# Click "Publish Issue" (optionally setting the publication time, first). Setting the time should only have an impact on readers who are not logged into the c4lj site. Editors will be able to see the published articles.
# Go to the Journal front page; check the number of articles is correct (again) and that they are in the right order. If there is a problem, go back to the admin interface, click on Posts -> Issues and click Unpublish for the issue. Make whatever corrections are needed and proceed from #5 again.
# Once the issue is finally published, go to [[Code4Lib_Journal_Entries_in_Directory_of_Open_Access_Journals]] and follow the directions to upload the issue metadata to DOAJ.
# Submit URLS to Internet Archives for harvest ([https://gist.github.com/ruthtillman/fa7562989f299e4904c7fb0448d1fc83#file-waybacksubmit-py Wayback Submission Script] )
# Send out announcements (see [[Code4Lib_Journal_Publicity_Venues]])
# Update [http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee#coordinating Coordinating Editor] on the Editorial Committee page to state the name of the editor for the next issue.

==Corrections==
See [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/8eaabcff2d9c000d/a0aeeb9367fcea5f?lnk=gst&q=errata#a0aeeb9367fcea5f|the editors' list] for how to make corrections. Generally, use an Errata or Correction section at the end with information about the change that was made and have the actual text link down to that section. See also [[Code4Lib_Corrections]]

Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines

2019-04-10T20:17:16Z

Samato:

Please follow the guidelines below when creating or editing Code4Lib Journal articles in WordPress. Enter all articles as "Posts".

==The WP Admin Interface==
To get to WordPress interface for entering an article, choose 'Site Admin' from the footer of any Journal page, login if necessary, and then choose Write//Write Post from the WP admin menus. (Alternatively, go to http://journal.code4lib.org/wp-admin/). If you don't have a WordPress editor login and need one, talk to our web admin (Tom Keays).

==Proofs for Authors==
A read-only login that is shared with authors can be found in the 'Administrivia' tab/worksheet of our Google Docs article tracking spreadsheet.

==Title==
Title, including the subtitle, goes in the "Title" field.

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

==Article Content==
The body of the article goes in the "Post" field. Use HTML markup appropriately and semantically, ''e.g.'', <code><em></code> for emphasized text, <code><strong></code> for strongly emphasized text, <code><blockquote></code> when quoting blocks of text. Avoid such monstrosities as <code><font></code> and <code><blink></code>.

===Headings===
The top-level header (<code><h1></code>) is used for the title of the post, so start with second-level headers (<code><h2></code>) for sections of the article,
<code><h3></code> for sub-sections, <code><h4></code> if you need a lower level. <code><h2></code> are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. <code><h3></code> and <code><h4></code> are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. Any header from second- to sixth-level may be used as appropriate.

===Pasting from Word===

If you just paste content from Word into WP, it ends up with REALLY BAD html.
Fortunately, WP has a built-in feature to help with this.
Open the 'advanced toolbar' in editing GUI (right-most link), then click on the paste-from-word icon.
This transforms Word's html into really nice pretty html.
Alternatively, use the [http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html.php Word DOC to HTML converter].

===Figures & Tables===
Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". In general, we bold the figure / table label using the strong tag.

For example:
<pre>
<p class = "caption">
<img src = "....">
<strong>Figure X.</strong> How to Caption an Image.
</p>

<div class = "caption">
<strong>Table X.</strong> How to Caption a Table.
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</div>
</pre>
Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

===Images and Attached Content===
In-line images should be no wider than 500px. See above section for captioning and image

'''Uploading files manually'''

To upload images or other attached media / files, you will need to upload the content to our ibiblio host site manually.

To do that, sftp to login.ibiblio.org. See the Administrivia tab in the shared "C4LJ Article Tracking" doc for the username and password.

Change directory to:
/public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/media

in there you'll find an "issue1" subdir (or issueX subdir--if you don't, create one or ask for help creating one!). Inside THERE, create a subdir with the last name of the first author, and put all your image and other attached content in there. This sort of url will be used in the "<img src>" tag:
/media/issue1/smith/imagename.png

Add to your img src or a href's as desired. You can use this not just for images, but for extended code attachments, etc. (see below)

'''Uploading media via WordPress'''

Before uploading files to WordPress, you will need to change permissions on the directory where you are putting the files.
# Login to c4ljeditor@login.ibiblio.org. Ask Tom Keays for the password for the c4ljeditor account (or see this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/msg/fad004416f12ac25 post] on c4lj-articles).
# Change the directory to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/
# WordPress tries to write the files to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/[current year]/[current month]. If the current year or month directory does not yet exist, create them, "mkdir [current year]" or mkdir "[current month]" in the appropriate directory. Creating the directory while logged in makes the owner and group of the directory c4ljeditor and c4lj respectively. Wordpress will create the directories as nobody/nobody.
# Change the permissions on the [current month] directory from 755 to 777, "chmod 777 [current month]".
# In the WordPress editor, click the "Add an Image" button.
# Browse to and select your image/file.
# Click the Upload button.
# File in the Alternate text and Caption fields.
# Select the size of the image you want to display in the article.
# Click "Insert into Post".
# On the ibiblio.org server, change the permissions on the current month's directory back to 775, "chmod 775 [current month]"

==== Video ====

We haven't had too much video, but we just had one (a screencast). The option we used was hosting on archive.org. Upload the video, click on the IA 'pillars' icon on the resulting video on the archive.org page to get an 'iframe' embed code, which works fine in our wordpress html source, and I believe the archive.org infrastructure will take care of translating the video to multiple formats and delivering in the proper format for a given browser. Very convenient.

Include a visible link to the archive.org URL for the individual video page as a caption, so printed or otherwise captured versions of the article will always have that link.

You don't need to use archive.org if you or we figure out a better way, it's just one option that worked very conveniently so far.

===Code===

If code is attached as a file, follow the directions above for attached images, except:

* If there is not a folder for the author, create it, according to the guidelines above for images
* Create a subfolder under the author's folder for "code". Insert code files here
* In the article link to the files using the path format http://path-to-the-server/media/issueNumber/authorname/code/filename (e.g., http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/code/something.pl)

ibiblio also has a PHPS extension, so if you an "s" on the end of .php files it will display the code rather than try to interpret the page:
<filename>.phps

Put all inline code in <code><pre></code> tags.

====Code Highlighting====
If the code is in a supported language, we can do syntax highlighting.

Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin:

<pre>
[sourcecode language='php']
RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed
[/sourcecode]
</pre>

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to "text" (no syntax highlighting). Supported languages include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>. Pretty much everything except <tt>perl</tt>. For a full list consult: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Note: do not surround code with <tt><pre></tt> tags, as the <tt>[sourcecode]</tt> tag itself will generate the necessary HTML.

For more subtleties of code formatting, see this gist from editor Péter Király https://gist.github.com/pkiraly/c48193925ad3806c31ef010b58e8600f

====Ampersand Issues====
We've had some problems with ampersand handling in the sourcecode sections. If you notice extra amp;s in your article, such as "&amp;amp;" and "&amp;amp;amp;", and you're comfortable using only the HTML editor for article entry, try checking the "Disable the visual editor when writing" box on your profile page in the admin.

==Abstract==

Abstracts should be placed in the Excerpt box, displayed a little ways below the "Post" field. If you do not see the Excerpt box, look under "Screen Options" in the top right of the page. Selecting the down arrow will display fields to show on the screen. Make sure that 'Excerpt' is selected. This will display the Excerpt (abstract) input box on the page.

Use HTML markup as appropriate. What you put in this field is what will be distributed in our syndication feed and what will appear before the article as the abstract.

Assigned editors are ultimately responsible for a good abstract. Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==
We would like to provide COinS information with every appropriate citation that does not have a publically accessible url.

It appears the COinS generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/ is no longer in service. An alternative is [https://www.zotero.org/download/ Zotero's stand alone citation software].
After creating a citation, simply right click the citation and choose export / format: coins.
* Paste the output provided at the end of the reference in HTML. You will need to delete the line breaks inserted into the output created by the generator for it to work properly.
* COinS should really always have an ISSN or ISBN.
* Inside the span tag, put the string "(COinS)" with a link to our coins explanation page. Ie:

<pre><a href="http://journal.code4lib.org/coins">(COinS)</a></pre>

This is so the user without a browser extension will see that something is there she might be interested in, and get an explanation of COinS and how to make use of it. For an example see the [http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7922 References section of a published article including coins].

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncategorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish
:Saves the article, sets the post status to Pending Review and assigns a timestamp to the article.

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

==WordPress Post Status==
An article has four possible statuses. However, only the first three statuses are available to editors.
;Draft
:Use for not yet complete articles. Only editors can see these.
;Pending Review
:Use for sharing the article with authors. Editors and anyone logged in with user ID 17 (i.e., the author account) can see these. See this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/1231b06c09f1289f post] on c4lj-articles for the login information for the author account (username: author).
;Private
:We don't use this option anymore.
;Published
:A published post is visible to everyone. It is part of the RSS feed. If you're editing an already published post, don't select anything in the post status form, just hit Save.

==Publishing an Issue==

# Let everyone on the c4lj-articles list know you are getting ready to publish (so they can save and close any open articles).

Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines

2019-04-10T20:15:29Z

Samato:

Please follow the guidelines below when creating or editing Code4Lib Journal articles in WordPress. Enter all articles as "Posts".

==The WP Admin Interface==
To get to WordPress interface for entering an article, choose 'Site Admin' from the footer of any Journal page, login if necessary, and then choose Write//Write Post from the WP admin menus. (Alternatively, go to http://journal.code4lib.org/wp-admin/). If you don't have a WordPress editor login and need one, talk to our web admin (Tom Keays).

==Proofs for Authors==
A read-only login that is shared with authors can be found in the 'Administrivia' tab/worksheet of our Google Docs article tracking spreadsheet.

==Title==
Title, including the subtitle, goes in the "Title" field.

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

==Article Content==
The body of the article goes in the "Post" field. Use HTML markup appropriately and semantically, ''e.g.'', <code><em></code> for emphasized text, <code><strong></code> for strongly emphasized text, <code><blockquote></code> when quoting blocks of text. Avoid such monstrosities as <code><font></code> and <code><blink></code>.

===Headings===
The top-level header (<code><h1></code>) is used for the title of the post, so start with second-level headers (<code><h2></code>) for sections of the article,
<code><h3></code> for sub-sections, <code><h4></code> if you need a lower level. <code><h2></code> are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. <code><h3></code> and <code><h4></code> are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. Any header from second- to sixth-level may be used as appropriate.

===Pasting from Word===

If you just paste content from Word into WP, it ends up with REALLY BAD html.
Fortunately, WP has a built-in feature to help with this.
Open the 'advanced toolbar' in editing GUI (right-most link), then click on the paste-from-word icon.
This transforms Word's html into really nice pretty html.
Alternatively, use the [http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html.php Word DOC to HTML converter].

===Figures & Tables===
Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". In general, we bold the figure / table label using the strong tag.

For example:
<pre>
<p class = "caption">
<img src = "....">
<strong>Figure X.</strong> How to Caption an Image.
</p>

<div class = "caption">
<strong>Table X.</strong> How to Caption a Table.
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</div>
</pre>
Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

===Images and Attached Content===
In-line images should be no wider than 500px. See above section for captioning and image

'''Uploading files manually'''

To upload images or other attached media / files, you will need to upload the content to our ibiblio host site manually.

To do that, sftp to login.ibiblio.org. See the Administrivia tab in the shared "C4LJ Article Tracking" doc for the username and password.

Change directory to:
/public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/media

in there you'll find an "issue1" subdir (or issueX subdir--if you don't, create one or ask for help creating one!). Inside THERE, create a subdir with the last name of the first author, and put all your image and other attached content in there. This sort of url will be used in the "<img src>" tag:
/media/issue1/smith/imagename.png

Add to your img src or a href's as desired. You can use this not just for images, but for extended code attachments, etc. (see below)

'''Uploading media via WordPress'''

Before uploading files to WordPress, you will need to change permissions on the directory where you are putting the files.
# Login to c4ljeditor@login.ibiblio.org. Ask Tom Keays for the password for the c4ljeditor account (or see this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/msg/fad004416f12ac25 post] on c4lj-articles).
# Change the directory to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/
# WordPress tries to write the files to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/[current year]/[current month]. If the current year or month directory does not yet exist, create them, "mkdir [current year]" or mkdir "[current month]" in the appropriate directory. Creating the directory while logged in makes the owner and group of the directory c4ljeditor and c4lj respectively. Wordpress will create the directories as nobody/nobody.
# Change the permissions on the [current month] directory from 755 to 777, "chmod 777 [current month]".
# In the WordPress editor, click the "Add an Image" button.
# Browse to and select your image/file.
# Click the Upload button.
# File in the Alternate text and Caption fields.
# Select the size of the image you want to display in the article.
# Click "Insert into Post".
# On the ibiblio.org server, change the permissions on the current month's directory back to 775, "chmod 775 [current month]"

==== Video ====

We haven't had too much video, but we just had one (a screencast). The option we used was hosting on archive.org. Upload the video, click on the IA 'pillars' icon on the resulting video on the archive.org page to get an 'iframe' embed code, which works fine in our wordpress html source, and I believe the archive.org infrastructure will take care of translating the video to multiple formats and delivering in the proper format for a given browser. Very convenient.

Include a visible link to the archive.org URL for the individual video page as a caption, so printed or otherwise captured versions of the article will always have that link.

You don't need to use archive.org if you or we figure out a better way, it's just one option that worked very conveniently so far.

===Code===

If code is attached as a file, follow the directions above for attached images, except:

* If there is not a folder for the author, create it, according to the guidelines above for images)
* Create a subfolder under the author's folder for "code". Insert code files here
* In the article link to the files using the path format http://path-to-the-server/media/issueNumber/authorname/code/filename (e.g., http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/code/something.pl)

Put all inline code in <code><pre></code> tags.

====Code Highlighting====
If the code is in a supported language, we can do syntax highlighting.

Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin:

<pre>
[sourcecode language='php']
RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed
[/sourcecode]
</pre>

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to "text" (no syntax highlighting). Supported languages include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>. Pretty much everything except <tt>perl</tt>. For a full list consult: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Note: do not surround code with <tt><pre></tt> tags, as the <tt>[sourcecode]</tt> tag itself will generate the necessary HTML.

For more subtleties of code formatting, see this gist from editor Péter Király https://gist.github.com/pkiraly/c48193925ad3806c31ef010b58e8600f

ibiblio also has a PHPS extension, so if you an "s" on the end of .php files it will display the code rather than try to interpret the page:
<filename>.phps

====Ampersand Issues====
We've had some problems with ampersand handling in the sourcecode sections. If you notice extra amp;s in your article, such as "&amp;amp;" and "&amp;amp;amp;", and you're comfortable using only the HTML editor for article entry, try checking the "Disable the visual editor when writing" box on your profile page in the admin.

==Abstract==

Abstracts should be placed in the Excerpt box, displayed a little ways below the "Post" field. If you do not see the Excerpt box, look under "Screen Options" in the top right of the page. Selecting the down arrow will display fields to show on the screen. Make sure that 'Excerpt' is selected. This will display the Excerpt (abstract) input box on the page.

Use HTML markup as appropriate. What you put in this field is what will be distributed in our syndication feed and what will appear before the article as the abstract.

Assigned editors are ultimately responsible for a good abstract. Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==
We would like to provide COinS information with every appropriate citation that does not have a publically accessible url.

It appears the COinS generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/ is no longer in service. An alternative is [https://www.zotero.org/download/ Zotero's stand alone citation software].
After creating a citation, simply right click the citation and choose export / format: coins.
* Paste the output provided at the end of the reference in HTML. You will need to delete the line breaks inserted into the output created by the generator for it to work properly.
* COinS should really always have an ISSN or ISBN.
* Inside the span tag, put the string "(COinS)" with a link to our coins explanation page. Ie:

<pre><a href="http://journal.code4lib.org/coins">(COinS)</a></pre>

This is so the user without a browser extension will see that something is there she might be interested in, and get an explanation of COinS and how to make use of it. For an example see the [http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7922 References section of a published article including coins].

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncategorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish
:Saves the article, sets the post status to Pending Review and assigns a timestamp to the article.

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

==WordPress Post Status==
An article has four possible statuses. However, only the first three statuses are available to editors.
;Draft
:Use for not yet complete articles. Only editors can see these.
;Pending Review
:Use for sharing the article with authors. Editors and anyone logged in with user ID 17 (i.e., the author account) can see these. See this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/1231b06c09f1289f post] on c4lj-articles for the login information for the author account (username: author).
;Private
:We don't use this option anymore.
;Published
:A published post is visible to everyone. It is part of the RSS feed. If you're editing an already published post, don't select anything in the post status form, just hit Save.

==Publishing an Issue==

# Let everyone on the c4lj-articles list know you are getting ready to publish (so they can save and close any open articles).
# Log in to WordPress
# Make sure that all articles for the issue have the correct issue category selected and have been set to 'Pending Review'. Make sure that the "Uncategorized" and "Issues" categories are unchecked (only the specific issue should be selected).
# Sanity check: count the number of posts which should appear in the publish list
# Click on Posts -> Issues (on the left side)
# Click on "Publish" for the issue you'd like to publish.
## You'll get a list of every "Pending Review" article in that issue. Make sure the number of articles in the list matches your previous count. Don't see all the articles you think you should see? They could be still in Draft status, or not in the correct Issue category, or still have "Uncategorized" selected, or someone may still have it in edit mode. Go back to the posts list and make any necessary changes, and start from #5 again.
# Drag and drop the article titles until they're in the order you want. The order you see there is the order you'll see on the home page (and probably the opposite of the order you'll see in your feed reader).
## Note: It's the coordinating editor's responsibility to decide what order he or she would like the articles to show up in, and order them appropriately when publishing the issue. In general, we try to put the articles with the widest appeal first, and special types (columns, special reports, book reviews, etc.) at the end.
# Click on Posts -> Categories (on the left side)
# Make sure all three fields for the current issue are filled in and correct:
## The human-readable name of the issue goes into the Name field -- e.g., "Issue 15".
## The date of publication goes into the Description field -- e.g., "2011-10-31".
## The URL name goes into the Slug field -- e.g., "issue15" would give the URL of the issue, http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue15
# Click "Publish Issue" (optionally setting the publication time, first). Setting the time should only have an impact on readers who are not logged into the c4lj site. Editors will be able to see the published articles.
# Go to the Journal front page; check the number of articles is correct (again) and that they are in the right order. If there is a problem, go back to the admin interface, click on Posts -> Issues and click Unpublish for the issue. Make whatever corrections are needed and proceed from #5 again.
# Once the issue is finally published, go to [[Code4Lib_Journal_Entries_in_Directory_of_Open_Access_Journals]] and follow the directions to upload the issue metadata to DOAJ.
# Submit URLS to Internet Archives for harvest ([https://gist.github.com/ruthtillman/fa7562989f299e4904c7fb0448d1fc83#file-waybacksubmit-py Wayback Submission Script] )
# Send out announcements (see [[Code4Lib_Journal_Publicity_Venues]])
# Update [http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee#coordinating Coordinating Editor] on the Editorial Committee page to state the name of the editor for the next issue.

==Corrections==
See [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/8eaabcff2d9c000d/a0aeeb9367fcea5f?lnk=gst&q=errata#a0aeeb9367fcea5f|the editors' list] for how to make corrections. Generally, use an Errata or Correction section at the end with information about the change that was made and have the actual text link down to that section. See also [[Code4Lib_Corrections]]

Samato: /* Proposal Accepted */

''See also [[Code4Lib_Journal_Deadlines]]''

== Call for proposals ==

Post to the [[Code4Lib Journal Publicity Venues]].

<pre>
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.
To be included in the <nth> issue, which is scheduled for publication
in mid <Month YYYY>, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal@code4lib.org
by Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. When submitting, please include the title
or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission
of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including
how they were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality,
they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the
middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit
C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first <n> issues
published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org.

Remember, for consideration for the <nth> issue, please send proposals,
abstracts, or draft articles to journal@code4lib.org no later than
Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>.

Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.

We look forward to seeing a complete draft and hope to include it in
the Journal. Thank you for submitting to us, and feel free to contact
me directly with any questions.

If you could drop me a line acknowledging receipt of this email, that
would be great.
</pre>

== Proposal Rejected ==

<pre>
We regret to inform you that your recent proposal to the Code4Lib
Journal for an article about <topic/title> has not been accepted for
publication. The Editorial Committee determined that it was not an
appropriate match for the audience, mission, or scope of the Code4Lib
Journal. [optional - comment about why it's not appropriate]

For more information about the mission of the Code4Lib Journal,
please see http://journal.code4lib.org/mission/.

Thanks for considering us, and please do not hesitate to contact the
editors at journal@code4lib.org in the future with a new or revised
proposal.
</pre>

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

Code4Lib Journal Deadlines

2017-09-18T16:56:07Z

Samato: added editor for 39th Issue

Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines

2017-07-19T16:08:06Z

Samato:

Please follow the guidelines below when creating or editing Code4Lib Journal articles in WordPress. Enter all articles as "Posts".

==The WP Admin Interface==
To get to WordPress interface for entering an article, choose 'Site Admin' from the footer of any Journal page, login if necessary, and then choose Write//Write Post from the WP admin menus. (Alternatively, go to http://journal.code4lib.org/wp-admin/). If you don't have a WordPress editor login and need one, talk to our web admin (Tom Keays).

==Proofs for Authors==
A read-only login that is shared with authors can be found in the 'Administrivia' tab/worksheet of our Google Docs article tracking spreadsheet.

==Title==
Title, including the subtitle, goes in the "Title" field.

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

==Article Content==
The body of the article goes in the "Post" field. Use HTML markup appropriately and semantically, ''e.g.'', <code><em></code> for emphasized text, <code><strong></code> for strongly emphasized text, <code><blockquote></code> when quoting blocks of text. Avoid such monstrosities as <code><font></code> and <code><blink></code>.

===Headings===
The top-level header (<code><h1></code>) is used for the title of the post, so start with second-level headers (<code><h2></code>) for sections of the article,
<code><h3></code> for sub-sections, <code><h4></code> if you need a lower level. <code><h2></code> are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. <code><h3></code> and <code><h4></code> are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. Any header from second- to sixth-level may be used as appropriate.

===Pasting from Word===

If you just paste content from Word into WP, it ends up with REALLY BAD html.
Fortunately, WP has a built-in feature to help with this.
Open the 'advanced toolbar' in editing GUI (right-most link), then click on the paste-from-word icon.
This transforms Word's html into really nice pretty html.
Alternatively, use the [http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html.php Word DOC to HTML converter].

===Figures & Tables===
Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". In general, we bold the figure / table label using the strong tag.

For example:
<pre>
<p class = "caption">
<img src = "....">
<strong>Figure X.</strong> How to Caption an Image.
</p>

<div class = "caption">
<strong>Table X.</strong> How to Caption a Table.
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</div>
</pre>
Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

===Images and Attached Content===
In-line images should be no wider than 500px. See above section for captioning and image

'''Uploading files manually'''

To upload images or other attached media / files, you will need to upload the content to our ibiblio host site manually.

To do that, sftp to login.ibiblio.org. See the Administrivia tab in the shared "C4LJ Article Tracking" doc for the username and password.

Change directory to:
/public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/media

in there you'll find an "issue1" subdir (or issueX subdir--if you don't, create one or ask for help creating one!). Inside THERE, create a subdir with the last name of the first author, and put all your image and other attached content in there. It will now have this sort of url:
http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/imagename.png

Add to your img src or a href's as desired. You can use this not just for images, but for extended code attachments, etc. (see below)

'''Uploading media via WordPress'''

Before uploading files to WordPress, you will need to change permissions on the directory where you are putting the files.
# Login to c4ljeditor@login.ibiblio.org. Ask Tom Keays for the password for the c4ljeditor account (or see this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/msg/fad004416f12ac25 post] on c4lj-articles).
# Change the directory to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/
# WordPress tries to write the files to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/[current year]/[current month]. If the current year or month directory does not yet exist, create them, "mkdir [current year]" or mkdir "[current month]" in the appropriate directory. Creating the directory while logged in makes the owner and group of the directory c4ljeditor and c4lj respectively. Wordpress will create the directories as nobody/nobody.
# Change the permissions on the [current month] directory from 755 to 777, "chmod 777 [current month]".
# In the WordPress editor, click the "Add an Image" button.
# Browse to and select your image/file.
# Click the Upload button.
# File in the Alternate text and Caption fields.
# Select the size of the image you want to display in the article.
# Click "Insert into Post".
# On the ibiblio.org server, change the permissions on the current month's directory back to 775, "chmod 775 [current month]"

==== Video ====

We haven't had too much video, but we just had one (a screencast). The option we used was hosting on archive.org. Upload the video, click on the IA 'pillars' icon on the resulting video on the archive.org page to get an 'iframe' embed code, which works fine in our wordpress html source, and I believe the archive.org infrastructure will take care of translating the video to multiple formats and delivering in the proper format for a given browser. Very convenient.

Include a visible link to the archive.org URL for the individual video page as a caption, so printed or otherwise captured versions of the article will always have that link.

You don't need to use archive.org if you or we figure out a better way, it's just one option that worked very conveniently so far.

===Code===

If code is attached as a file, follow the directions above for attached images, except:

* If there is not a folder for the author, create it, according to the guidelines above for images)
* Create a subfolder under the author's folder for "code". Insert code files here
* In the article link to the files using the path format http://path-to-the-server/media/issueNumber/authorname/code/filename (e.g., http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/code/something.pl)

Put all inline code in <code><pre></code> tags.

====Code Highlighting====

If the code is in a supported language, we can do syntax highlighting.

ibiblio has a PHPS extension, so if you an "s" on the end of .php files, it does syntax highlighting for you, e.g.:
<filename>.phps

Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin:

<pre>
[sourcecode language='php']
RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed
[/sourcecode]
</pre>

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to "text" (no syntax highlighting). Supported languages include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>. Pretty much everything except <tt>perl</tt>. For a full list consult: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Note: do not surround code with <tt><pre></tt> tags, as the <tt>[sourcecode]</tt> tag itself will generate the necessary HTML.

For more subtleties of code formatting, see this gist from editor Péter Király https://gist.github.com/pkiraly/c48193925ad3806c31ef010b58e8600f

====Ampersand Issues====
We've had some problems with ampersand handling in the sourcecode sections. If you notice extra amp;s in your article, such as "&amp;amp;" and "&amp;amp;amp;", and you're comfortable using only the HTML editor for article entry, try checking the "Disable the visual editor when writing" box on your profile page in the admin.

==Abstract==

Abstracts should be placed in the Excerpt box, displayed a little ways below the "Post" field. If you do not see the Excerpt box, look under "Screen Options" in the top right of the page. Selecting the down arrow will display fields to show on the screen. Make sure that 'Excerpt' is selected. This will display the Excerpt (abstract) input box on the page.

Use HTML markup as appropriate. What you put in this field is what will be distributed in our syndication feed and what will appear before the article as the abstract.

Assigned editors are ultimately responsible for a good abstract. Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==
We would like to provide COinS information with every appropriate citation that does not have a publically accessible url.

It appears the COinS generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/ is no longer in service. An alternative is [https://www.zotero.org/download/ Zotero's stand alone citation software].
After creating a citation, simply right click the citation and choose export / format: coins.
* Paste the output provided at the end of the reference in HTML. You will need to delete the line breaks inserted into the output created by the generator for it to work properly.
* COinS should really always have an ISSN or ISBN.
* Inside the span tag, put the string "(COinS)" with a link to our coins explanation page. Ie:

<pre><a href="http://journal.code4lib.org/coins">(COinS)</a></pre>

This is so the user without a browser extension will see that something is there she might be interested in, and get an explanation of COinS and how to make use of it. For an example see the [http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7922 References section of a published article including coins].

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncagetorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish
:Saves the article, sets the post status to Pending Review and assigns a timestamp to the article.

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

==WordPress Post Status==
An article has four possible statuses. However, only the first three statuses are available to editors.
;Draft
:Use for not yet complete articles. Only editors can see these.
;Pending Review
:Use for sharing the article with authors. Editors and anyone logged in with user ID 17 (i.e., the author account) can see these. See this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/1231b06c09f1289f post] on c4lj-articles for the login information for the author account (username: author).
;Private
:We don't use this option anymore.
;Published
:A published post is visible to everyone. It is part of the RSS feed. If you're editing an already published post, don't select anything in the post status form, just hit Save.

==Publishing an Issue==

# Let everyone on the c4lj-articles list know you are getting ready to publish (so they can save and close any open articles).
# Log in to WordPress
# Make sure that all articles for the issue have the correct issue category selected and have been set to 'Pending Review'. Make sure that the "Uncategorized" and "Issues" categories are unchecked (only the specific issue should be selected).
# Sanity check: count the number of posts which should appear in the publish list
# Click on Posts -> Issues (on the left side)
# Click on "Publish" for the issue you'd like to publish.
## You'll get a list of every "Pending Review" article in that issue. Make sure the number of articles in the list matches your previous count. Don't see all the articles you think you should see? They could be still in Draft status, or not in the correct Issue category, or still have "Uncategorized" selected, or someone may still have it in edit mode. Go back to the posts list and make any necessary changes, and start from #5 again.
# Drag and drop the article titles until they're in the order you want. The order you see there is the order you'll see on the home page (and probably the opposite of the order you'll see in your feed reader).
## Note: It's the coordinating editor's responsibility to decide what order he or she would like the articles to show up in, and order them appropriately when publishing the issue. In general, we try to put the articles with the widest appeal first, and special types (columns, special reports, book reviews, etc.) at the end.
# Click on Posts -> Categories (on the left side)
# Make sure all three fields for the current issue are filled in and correct:
## The human-readable name of the issue goes into the Name field -- e.g., "Issue 15".
## The date of publication goes into the Description field -- e.g., "2011-10-31".
## The URL name goes into the Slug field -- e.g., "issue15" would give the URL of the issue, http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue15
# Click "Publish Issue" (optionally setting the publication time, first). Setting the time should only have an impact on readers who are not logged into the c4lj site. Editors will be able to see the published articles.
# Go to the Journal front page; check the number of articles is correct (again) and that they are in the right order. If there is a problem, go back to the admin interface, click on Posts -> Issues and click Unpublish for the issue. Make whatever corrections are needed and proceed from #5 again.
# Once the issue is finally published, go to [[Code4Lib_Journal_Entries_in_Directory_of_Open_Access_Journals]] and follow the directions to upload the issue metadata to DOAJ.
# Submit URLS to Internet Archives for harvest ([https://gist.github.com/ruthtillman/fa7562989f299e4904c7fb0448d1fc83#file-waybacksubmit-py Wayback Submission Script] )
# Send out announcements (see [[Code4Lib_Journal_Publicity_Venues]])
# Update [http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee#coordinating Coordinating Editor] on the Editorial Committee page to state the name of the editor for the next issue.

Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines

2017-07-19T16:05:38Z

Samato:

Please follow the guidelines below when creating or editing Code4Lib Journal articles in WordPress. Enter all articles as "Posts".

==The WP Admin Interface==
To get to WordPress interface for entering an article, choose 'Site Admin' from the footer of any Journal page, login if necessary, and then choose Write//Write Post from the WP admin menus. (Alternatively, go to http://journal.code4lib.org/wp-admin/). If you don't have a WordPress editor login and need one, talk to our web admin (Tom Keays).

==Proofs for Authors==
A read-only login that is shared with authors can be found in the 'Administrivia' tab/worksheet of our Google Docs article tracking spreadsheet.

==Title==
Title, including the subtitle, goes in the "Title" field.

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

==Article Content==
The body of the article goes in the "Post" field. Use HTML markup appropriately and semantically, ''e.g.'', <code><em></code> for emphasized text, <code><strong></code> for strongly emphasized text, <code><blockquote></code> when quoting blocks of text. Avoid such monstrosities as <code><font></code> and <code><blink></code>.

===Headings===
The top-level header (<code><h1></code>) is used for the title of the post, so start with second-level headers (<code><h2></code>) for sections of the article,
<code><h3></code> for sub-sections, <code><h4></code> if you need a lower level. <code><h2></code> are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. <code><h3></code> and <code><h4></code> are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. Any header from second- to sixth-level may be used as appropriate.

===Pasting from Word===

If you just paste content from Word into WP, it ends up with REALLY BAD html.
Fortunately, WP has a built-in feature to help with this.
Open the 'advanced toolbar' in editing GUI (right-most link), then click on the paste-from-word icon.
This transforms Word's html into really nice pretty html.
Alternatively, use the [http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html.php Word DOC to HTML converter].

===Figures & Tables===
Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". In general, we bold the figure / table label using the strong tag.

For example:
<pre>
<p class = "caption">
<img src = "....">
<strong>Figure X.</strong> How to Caption an Image.
</p>

<div class = "caption">
<strong>Table X.</strong> How to Caption a Table.
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</div>
</pre>
Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

===Images and Attached Content===
In-line images should be no wider than 500px. See above section for captioning and image

'''Uploading files manually'''

To upload images or other attached media / files, you will need to upload the content to our ibiblio host site manually.

To do that, sftp to login.ibiblio.org. See the Administrivia tab in the shared "C4LJ Article Tracking" doc for the username and password.

Change directory to:
/public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/media

in there you'll find an "issue1" subdir (or issueX subdir--if you don't, create one or ask for help creating one!). Inside THERE, create a subdir with the last name of the first author, and put all your image and other attached content in there. It will now have this sort of url:
http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/imagename.png

Add to your img src or a href's as desired. You can use this not just for images, but for extended code attachments, etc. (see below)

'''Uploading media via WordPress'''

Before uploading files to WordPress, you will need to change permissions on the directory where you are putting the files.
# Login to c4ljeditor@login.ibiblio.org. Ask Tom Keays for the password for the c4ljeditor account (or see this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/msg/fad004416f12ac25 post] on c4lj-articles).
# Change the directory to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/
# WordPress tries to write the files to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/[current year]/[current month]. If the current year or month directory does not yet exist, create them, "mkdir [current year]" or mkdir "[current month]" in the appropriate directory. Creating the directory while logged in makes the owner and group of the directory c4ljeditor and c4lj respectively. Wordpress will create the directories as nobody/nobody.
# Change the permissions on the [current month] directory from 755 to 777, "chmod 777 [current month]".
# In the WordPress editor, click the "Add an Image" button.
# Browse to and select your image/file.
# Click the Upload button.
# File in the Alternate text and Caption fields.
# Select the size of the image you want to display in the article.
# Click "Insert into Post".
# On the ibiblio.org server, change the permissions on the current month's directory back to 775, "chmod 775 [current month]"

==== Video ====

We haven't had too much video, but we just had one (a screencast). The option we used was hosting on archive.org. Upload the video, click on the IA 'pillars' icon on the resulting video on the archive.org page to get an 'iframe' embed code, which works fine in our wordpress html source, and I believe the archive.org infrastructure will take care of translating the video to multiple formats and delivering in the proper format for a given browser. Very convenient.

Include a visible link to the archive.org URL for the individual video page as a caption, so printed or otherwise captured versions of the article will always have that link.

You don't need to use archive.org if you or we figure out a better way, it's just one option that worked very conveniently so far.

===Code===

If code is attached as a file, follow the directions above for attached images, except:

* If there is not a folder for the author, create it, according to the guidelines above for images)
* Create a subfolder under the author's folder for "code". Insert code files here
* In the article link to the files using the path format http://path-to-the-server/media/issueNumber/authorname/code/filename (e.g., http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/code/something.pl)

Put all inline code in <code><pre></code> tags.

====Code Highlighting====

If the code is in a supported language, we can do syntax highlighting.

ibiblio has a PHPS extension, so if you an "s" on the end of .php files, it does syntax highlighting for you, e.g.:
<filename>.phps

Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin:

<pre>
[sourcecode language='php']
RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed
[/sourcecode]
</pre>

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to "text" (no syntax highlighting). Supported languages include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>. Pretty much everything except <tt>perl</tt>. For a full list consult: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Note: do not surround code with <tt><pre></tt> tags, as the <tt>[sourcecode]</tt> tag itself will generate the necessary HTML.

For more subtleties of code formatting, see this gist from editor Péter Király https://gist.github.com/pkiraly/c48193925ad3806c31ef010b58e8600f

====Ampersand Issues====
We've had some problems with ampersand handling in the sourcecode sections. If you notice extra amp;s in your article, such as "&amp;amp;" and "&amp;amp;amp;", and you're comfortable using only the HTML editor for article entry, try checking the "Disable the visual editor when writing" box on your profile page in the admin.

==Abstract==

Abstracts should be placed in the Excerpt box, displayed a little ways below the "Post" field. If you do not see the Excerpt box, look under "Screen Options" in the top right of the page. Selecting the down arrow will display fields to show on the screen. Make sure that 'Excerpt' is selected. This will display the Excerpt (abstract) input box on the page.

Use HTML markup as appropriate. What you put in this field is what will be distributed in our syndication feed and what will appear before the article as the abstract.

Assigned editors are ultimately responsible for a good abstract. Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==
We would like to provide COinS information with every appropriate citation that does not have a publically accessible url.

It appears the COinS generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/ is no longer in service. An alternative is [https://www.zotero.org/download/ Zotero's stand alone citation software].
After creating a citation, simply right click the citation and choose export / format: coins.
* Paste the output provided at the end of the reference in HTML. You will need to delete the line breaks inserted into the output created by the generator for it to work properly.
* COinS should really always have an ISSN or ISBN.
* Inside the span tag, put the string "(COinS)" with a link to our coins explanation page. Ie:

<pre><a href="http://journal.code4lib.org/coins">(COinS)</a></pre>

This is so the user without a browser extension will see that something is there she might be interested in, and get an explanation of COinS and how to make use of it. For an example see the [http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7922 References section of a published article including coins].

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncagetorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

== Call for proposals ==

Post to the [[Code4Lib Journal Publicity Venues]].

<pre>
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.
To be included in the <nth> issue, which is scheduled for publication
in mid <Month YYYY>, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal@code4lib.org
by Friday, <Month DD, YYYY>. When submitting, please include the title
or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission
of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including
how they were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality,
they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the
middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit
C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first <n> issues

== Proposal Rejected ==

<pre>
We regret to inform you that your recent proposal to the Code4Lib
Journal for an article about <topic/title> has not been accepted for
publication. The Editorial Committee determined that it was not an
appropriate match for the audience, mission, or scope of the Code4Lib
Journal. [optional - comment about why it's not appropriate]

For more information about the mission of the Code4Lib Journal,
please see http://journal.code4lib.org/mission/.

Thanks for considering us, and please do not hesitate to contact the
editors at journal@code4lib.org in the future with a new or revised
proposal.
</pre>

== Call-for-Editors ==

The Code4Lib Journal (http://journal.code4lib.org/) is looking for volunteers to join its editorial committee. Editorial committee members work collaboratively to produce the quarterly Code4Lib Journal. Editors are expected to:

* Read, discuss, and vote on incoming proposals.
* Volunteer to be the assigned editor or second reader for specific proposals.
** Assigned editors work with the author(s) to make sure the article is as strong as possible, that the copy is clean, and deadlines are met. They also enter the article into WordPress, making sure the formatting is okay, all images and tables look good, etc.
** Second readers act as a second set of eyes for the assigned editor.
* Read and comment on any other article that interests you.
* Volunteer for administrative tasks and projects as they crop up.
* Take a turn as Coordinating Editor for an Issue. The Coordinating Editor shepherds the issue through its life cycle.

We seek an individual who is self-motivated, organized and able to meet deadlines; is familiar with ideas and trends in the field; and has an interest in the mechanics of writing. There is a sometimes significant time commitment involved; expect to set aside ten or more hours a month.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun (if editing is your idea of fun).

Intrigued? Please send a letter of interest by xxxxxxxxxxxxx to journal_at_code4lib.org. Your letter should address these questions:

1) What is your vision for the Code4Lib Journal? Why are you interested in it?

2) What types of libraries have you worked with?

3) What are your areas of expertise and/or research?

4) How can you contribute to the Code4Lib Journal, i.e. what do you have to offer?

We encourage people who have previously applied and who are still interested to re-apply. We have had to turn down a lot of highly-qualified people in the past due to the large number of applications.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal_at_code4lib.org or ask any member of the editorial committee (listed at http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee). We plan to make decisions about additional editors by XXXXXXXX.

Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines

2017-04-25T22:47:58Z

Samato: /* Code Highlighting */

Please follow the guidelines below when creating or editing Code4Lib Journal articles in WordPress. Enter all articles as "Posts".

==The WP Admin Interface==
To get to WordPress interface for entering an article, choose 'Site Admin' from the footer of any Journal page, login if necessary, and then choose Write//Write Post from the WP admin menus. (Alternatively, go to http://journal.code4lib.org/wp-admin/). If you don't have a WordPress editor login and need one, talk to our web admin (Tom Keays).

==Proofs for Authors==
A read-only login that is shared with authors can be found in the 'Administrivia' tab/worksheet of our Google Docs article tracking spreadsheet.

==Title==
Title, including the subtitle, goes in the "Title" field.

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

==Article Content==
The body of the article goes in the "Post" field. Use HTML markup appropriately and semantically, ''e.g.'', <code><em></code> for emphasized text, <code><strong></code> for strongly emphasized text, <code><blockquote></code> when quoting blocks of text. Avoid such monstrosities as <code><font></code> and <code><blink></code>.

===Headings===
The top-level header (<code><h1></code>) is used for the title of the post, so start with second-level headers (<code><h2></code>) for sections of the article,
<code><h3></code> for sub-sections, <code><h4></code> if you need a lower level. <code><h2></code> are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. <code><h3></code> and <code><h4></code> are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. Any header from second- to sixth-level may be used as appropriate.

===Pasting from Word===

If you just paste content from Word into WP, it ends up with REALLY BAD html.
Fortunately, WP has a built-in feature to help with this.
Open the 'advanced toolbar' in editing GUI (right-most link), then click on the paste-from-word icon.
This transforms Word's html into really nice pretty html.
Alternatively, use the [http://www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html.php Word DOC to HTML converter].

===Figures & Tables===
Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". In general, we bold the figure / table label using the strong tag.

For example:
<pre>
<p class = "caption">
<img src = "....">
<strong>Figure X.</strong> How to Caption an Image.
</p>

<div class = "caption">
<strong>Table X.</strong> How to Caption a Table.
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</div>
</pre>
Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

===Images and Attached Content===
In-line images should be no wider than 500px. See above section for captioning and image

'''Uploading files manually'''

To upload images or other attached media / files, you will need to upload the content to our ibiblio host site manually.

To do that, sftp to login.ibiblio.org. See the Administrivia tab in the shared "C4LJ Article Tracking" doc for the username and password.

Change directory to:
/public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/media

in there you'll find an "issue1" subdir (or issueX subdir--if you don't, create one or ask for help creating one!). Inside THERE, create a subdir with the last name of the first author, and put all your image and other attached content in there. It will now have this sort of url:
http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/imagename.png

Add to your img src or a href's as desired. You can use this not just for images, but for extended code attachments, etc. (see below)

'''Uploading media via WordPress'''

Before uploading files to WordPress, you will need to change permissions on the directory where you are putting the files.
# Login to c4ljeditor@login.ibiblio.org. Ask Tom Keays for the password for the c4ljeditor account (or see this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/msg/fad004416f12ac25 post] on c4lj-articles).
# Change the directory to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/
# WordPress tries to write the files to /public/vhost/c/c4lj/html/wp-content/uploads/[current year]/[current month]. If the current year or month directory does not yet exist, create them, "mkdir [current year]" or mkdir "[current month]" in the appropriate directory. Creating the directory while logged in makes the owner and group of the directory c4ljeditor and c4lj respectively. Wordpress will create the directories as nobody/nobody.
# Change the permissions on the [current month] directory from 755 to 777, "chmod 777 [current month]".
# In the WordPress editor, click the "Add an Image" button.
# Browse to and select your image/file.
# Click the Upload button.
# File in the Alternate text and Caption fields.
# Select the size of the image you want to display in the article.
# Click "Insert into Post".
# On the ibiblio.org server, change the permissions on the current month's directory back to 775, "chmod 775 [current month]"

==== Video ====

We haven't had too much video, but we just had one (a screencast). The option we used was hosting on archive.org. Upload the video, click on the IA 'pillars' icon on the resulting video on the archive.org page to get an 'iframe' embed code, which works fine in our wordpress html source, and I believe the archive.org infrastructure will take care of translating the video to multiple formats and delivering in the proper format for a given browser. Very convenient.

Include a visible link to the archive.org URL for the individual video page as a caption, so printed or otherwise captured versions of the article will always have that link.

You don't need to use archive.org if you or we figure out a better way, it's just one option that worked very conveniently so far.

===Code===

If code is attached as a file, follow the directions above for attached images, except:

* If there is not a folder for the author, create it, according to the guidelines above for images)
* Create a subfolder under the author's folder for "code". Insert code files here
* In the article link to the files using the path format http://path-to-the-server/media/issueNumber/authorname/code/filename (e.g., http://journal.code4lib.org/media/issue1/smith/code/something.pl)

Put all inline code in <code><pre></code> tags.

====Code Highlighting====

If the code is in a supported language, we can do syntax highlighting.

ibiblio has a PHPS extension, so if you an "s" on the end of .php files, it does syntax highlighting for you, e.g.:
<filename>.phps

Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin:

<pre>
[sourcecode language='php']
RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed
[/sourcecode]
</pre>

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to "text" (no syntax highlighting). Supported languages include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>. Pretty much everything except <tt>perl</tt>. For a full list consult: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Note: do not surround code with <tt><pre></tt> tags, as the <tt>[sourcecode]</tt> tag itself will generate the necessary HTML.

For more subtleties of code formatting, see this gist from editor Péter Király https://gist.github.com/pkiraly/c48193925ad3806c31ef010b58e8600f

====Ampersand Issues====
We've had some problems with ampersand handling in the sourcecode sections. If you notice extra amp;s in your article, such as "&amp;amp;" and "&amp;amp;amp;", and you're comfortable using only the HTML editor for article entry, try checking the "Disable the visual editor when writing" box on your profile page in the admin.

==Abstract==

Abstracts should be placed in the Excerpt box, displayed a little ways below the "Post" field. If you do not see the Excerpt box, look under "Screen Options" in the top right of the page. Selecting the down arrow will display fields to show on the screen. Make sure that 'Excerpt' is selected. This will display the Excerpt (abstract) input box on the page.

Use HTML markup as appropriate. What you put in this field is what will be distributed in our syndication feed and what will appear before the article as the abstract.

Assigned editors are ultimately responsible for a good abstract. Authors aren't always the best at writing good abstracts for their articles, you should probably revise or even write a new one from scratch as necessary, even when the author has provided one. Some of the abstracts for my assigned articles haven't even mentioned what I consider the most significant features of the article.

Since indexes (like EBSCO) may end up indexing abstracts and not full text (and even full text indexes may weigh abstracts more highly), the abstract should probably include any important terms that should 'hit' on the article, such as key technologies or concepts.

I've found that extracting sentences or clauses from the article itself is a good way to build an abstract that will represent the article as the authors intended. The conclusion section is often a good place to look for such key sentences/clauses.

Final abstracts should be passed by the authors for approval.

==Bibliographies/Endnotes==
We would like to provide COinS information with every appropriate citation that does not have a publically accessible url.

It appears the COinS generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/ is no longer in service. An alternative is [https://www.zotero.org/download/ Zotero's stand alone citation software].
After creating a citation, simply right click the citation and choose export / format: coins.
* Paste the output provided at the end of the reference in HTML. You will need to delete the line breaks inserted into the output created by the generator for it to work properly.
* COinS should really always have an ISSN or ISBN.
* Inside the span tag, put the string "(COinS)" with a link to our coins explanation page. Ie:

<pre><a href="http://journal.code4lib.org/coins">(COinS)</a></pre>

This is so the user without a browser extension will see that something is there she might be interested in, and get an explanation of COinS and how to make use of it. For an example see the [http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7922 References section of a published article including coins].

===Endnotes style and HTML coding===
* Endnote number in text: The number is the link which appears in square brackets. Square brackets themselves are not part of the link. HTML coding for the text: '''[<a id="ref1" href="#note1">1</a>]'''

* The link should work both ways. So, the endnote will link back to the text. HTML coding for the endnote: '''[<a id="note1" href="#ref1">1</a>]'''

==Author Information==

Start off each article with a paragraph stating the name(s) of the author(s). Something simple like "By Jonathan Rochkind". If desired, the author's name can be a link to something appropriate.

End each article with a second-level header that says "About the Author(s)", with class="abouttheauthor" set. Then give a short paragraph about each author. Italicize the author's name when it is first used (for example, "''Foo Bar'' is a librarian at..."). We do want to have some kind of contact information published (personal web page, email address (obscured if desired), etc.) for each author.

There is a box beneath the article-editing box with the label "Author(s)". Anything you put in this field will be treated as the author of the article. This will show up in the ToC and in the syndication feeds. If you don't populate this field, WordPress will use the username of the editor, instead.

==Categories/Tags==
Posts will have "Uncagetorized" checked by default. Uncheck that box, and check the box next to the current issue, which will be a subcategory of "Issues." Do not check the "Issues" category. We generally do not add tags, except for Conference reviews

==WordPress Buttons==

;Save
:Saves the article, sets the post status to whatever option is selected in the Publish Status form.
;Publish
:Saves the article, sets the post status to Pending Review and assigns a timestamp to the article.

If an issue is not yet published, setting the post status to "Published" or clicking the "Publish" button will set the article to "Pending Review" status. If the issue is already published, this would actually publish the article.

==WordPress Post Status==
An article has four possible statuses. However, only the first three statuses are available to editors.
;Draft
:Use for not yet complete articles. Only editors can see these.
;Pending Review
:Use for sharing the article with authors. Editors and anyone logged in with user ID 17 (i.e., the author account) can see these. See this [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/1231b06c09f1289f post] on c4lj-articles for the login information for the author account (username: author).
;Private
:We don't use this option anymore.
;Published
:A published post is visible to everyone. It is part of the RSS feed. If you're editing an already published post, don't select anything in the post status form, just hit Save.

==Publishing an Issue==

# Let everyone on the c4lj-articles list know you are getting ready to publish (so they can save and close any open articles).
# Log in to WordPress
# Make sure that all articles for the issue have the correct issue category selected and have been set to 'Pending Review'. Make sure that the "Uncategorized" and "Issues" categories are unchecked (only the specific issue should be selected).
# Sanity check: count the number of posts which should appear in the publish list
# Click on Posts -> Issues (on the left side)
# Click on "Publish" for the issue you'd like to publish.
## You'll get a list of every "Pending Review" article in that issue. Make sure the number of articles in the list matches your previous count. Don't see all the articles you think you should see? They could be still in Draft status, or not in the correct Issue category, or still have "Uncategorized" selected, or someone may still have it in edit mode. Go back to the posts list and make any necessary changes, and start from #5 again.
# Drag and drop the article titles until they're in the order you want. The order you see there is the order you'll see on the home page (and probably the opposite of the order you'll see in your feed reader).
## Note: It's the coordinating editor's responsibility to decide what order he or she would like the articles to show up in, and order them appropriately when publishing the issue. In general, we try to put the articles with the widest appeal first, and special types (columns, special reports, book reviews, etc.) at the end.
# Click on Posts -> Categories (on the left side)
# Make sure all three fields for the current issue are filled in and correct:
## The human-readable name of the issue goes into the Name field -- e.g., "Issue 15".
## The date of publication goes into the Description field -- e.g., "2011-10-31".
## The URL name goes into the Slug field -- e.g., "issue15" would give the URL of the issue, http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue15
# Click "Publish Issue" (optionally setting the publication time, first). Setting the time should only have an impact on readers who are not logged into the c4lj site. Editors will be able to see the published articles.
# Go to the Journal front page; check the number of articles is correct (again) and that they are in the right order. If there is a problem, go back to the admin interface, click on Posts -> Issues and click Unpublish for the issue. Make whatever corrections are needed and proceed from #5 again.
# Once the issue is finally published, go to [[Code4Lib_Journal_Entries_in_Directory_of_Open_Access_Journals]] and follow the directions to upload the issue metadata to DOAJ.
# Send out announcements (see [[Code4Lib_Journal_Publicity_Venues]])
# Update [http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee#coordinating Coordinating Editor] on the Editorial Committee page to state the name of the editor for the next issue.

==Corrections==
See [http://groups.google.com/group/c4lj-articles/browse_thread/thread/8eaabcff2d9c000d/a0aeeb9367fcea5f?lnk=gst&q=errata#a0aeeb9367fcea5f|the editors' list] for how to make corrections. Generally, use an Errata or Correction section at the end with information about the change that was made and have the actual text link down to that section. See also [[Code4Lib_Corrections]]
