How do I make changes to a journal article that's in an issue that I've already published?

Q: I need to make changes to some of the metadata (abstract, author name, author email address, etc.) or one of the files for one of my articles, but it's in an issue that's already been published.

A: To make changes to an existing article in an eScholarship journal, first log in by going to your journal's page and selecting Manage Submissions button in the upper right corner, then:

  1. Go to Back Content > Issues
  2. Navigate to the issue which contains the item you want to edit
  3. Click on the title of the article that you want to edit
    • If you need to make changes to the item's Metadata, select the Edit Metadata option in the upper-right corner.
    • If you need to update or replace the PDF, HTML or Supplemental files, scroll to the Galleys section of this page and replace the necessary files.
    • If you need to make changes to selections you made on the Pre-Publication checklist, select Edit Publication Info in the upper-right corner.
  4. IMPORTANT: Changes made above will not appear publicly until you re-publish the modified article. To do this:
    1. Navigate to Staff > Plugins and select ESCHOLARSHIP PUBLISHING PLUGIN
    2. Navigate to the Issue containing the article you modified
    3. Click Publish next to the title of the article

You should see your changes on the live site within about 10 minutes. Remember to use your browser's refresh button if at first you do not see the changes.
