Managing where an item appears in eScholarship (move or add an item to a different section)

Modified on Tue, 24 Sep 2019 at 02:27 PM

Items (articles, papers, multimedia, etc.) can be listed in multiple locations in eScholarship and/or can be moved from one location to another without affecting the item's permanent URL, and without duplicating usage statistics collection for the item.


Series administrators can add additional locations to an item, or move an item from one series to another, so long as they have admin permissions for each of the paper series they'll be working with. If you need to make location changes to an item that is in a series for which you do not have administrator permissions, contact eScholarship support for assistance.


To add a secondary location to an existing item

  1. Navigate to the paper series containing the item, click the Manage Submissions button and log in with your administrator account.

  2. Select the title of the item from the Manage Items screen or input the item ID as "*xxxxx" to find the item.

  3. Select Manage location(s) on the tab at the top of the Item Summary (pictured below).

  4. Select the additional paper series you would like for the item to appear in, then click Add.

  5. When you are done adding additional locations, click Save location changes.

  6. Your changes will appear on eScholarship after the next round of updates, usually within about 30 minutes.
