For now we There are entering article two ways to get metadata into DOAJ the Directory of Open Access Journals: 1) by hand, or 2) through the use of an XML file. This ''(UPDATE 2014-01-22: DOAJ says, "Until further notice, publishers will eventually put only able to upload article metadata to us in OAISter, as well as DOAJ's own using an XML file...Temporarily, publishers will no longer be able to submit metadata to us on an article-level search functionby-article basis. If you are unable to produce the XML file, injecting our articles into we suggest that you wait until we have reinstated the wider findable worldarticle-by-article upload feature.")'' Before you do either method, please keep in mind the following things:
Some metadata peculariaties of ours # We chose not to have volume numbers, just issue numbers. Issue numbers will just keep incrementing.# We decided that come the "record number" for an article is the article-id that shows up when entering data: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
