Let automatic registration of DOIs be optional.#4433

🤔 I have two failures in the tests, but I can't pin-point them to something related to these changes: Output of It's been a while since I've run Janeway's tests, I hope I'm not doing something wrong 🙂 I'm setting this MR as ready, but please feel free to set it back to "draft". |

oops pieces missing... |

Hi @gamboz, can you say a bit more about why you'd like to have the editor control DOI registration manually? In the past we have found editors are helped most when Janeway handles this for them, but we want to understand the user story you have in mind to make sure. Thanks! |
Yes, sure. It's actually more about not registering at acceptance; we plan to have the system register the DOI automatically at publication (in the near future). Depending on the journal, we can have these situations:
Consider also that most of our papers came from pre-print archives and [*] We had persistent identifiers before DOIs and used that kind of |

Thanks @gamboz, that helps explain the context. Small follow-up question: For most Janeway journals, registering the DOI at acceptance ensures that it can be used in typesetting, when inserting article metadata into publication-ready files. In your workflow, how can you be sure in typesetting what the DOI will be? Do you have a process for reserving the DOIs before typesetting that does not involve creating it in Janeway? |
|
As for including the issue in the DOI, yes I would encourage you to move away from that. |
Our process is roughly this:

OK, I'll take this back to the team for discussion. |
I'd love a demo of this process, we have other jourals using TEX! |
Add a setting to make the automatic registrations of DOIs at acceptance be optional, while still allowing the manual registration.
Rationale: ATM that the same setting
use_crossrefis usedArticle.accept_article()identifiers.views.issue_doi()so that it's not possible to disable automatic registration at acceptance while retaining the possibility of manual registration at publication (for instance).
