Publishing with Open Journal Systems

Some advice when using Open Journal Systems to publish. For more general questions about OJS see its support page.

Uploading reference lists

Dialectica specific. When publishing an article on OJS we fill in the “References” metadata field with a text version of the articles’ references. Run the following in the issue folder:

make refs

This generates a article_name.bib.txt file for each article in an issue.

Note: if you get an ’no target to make “refs”error, you need to renew the Makefile. Runsh generatemakefile.shin the issue folder. If the scriptgeneratemakefile.shis missing, copy it again from the template folder'sEXTRAS/copyeditors-scripts-issue`.

Windows user: these need to be run in a Linux terminal (using Windows Subsystem for Linux.)

Background: the text references are in American Psychological Association style. This ensures that multiple entries by the same author all start with the author’s name (rather than a long dash as in the Chicago style).

Uploading HTML article with images or imagified LaTeX

If your article has images or imagified LaTeX as separate files, simply upload them as dependent files. OJS takes care of modifying the HTML to ensure they appear on the page.

Illustration. Suppose that your galley file is author_2020.html with its images located in a media/ and its imagified LaTeX in imagify/:

./
- author_2020.html
- media/
    |- image1.svg
- imagify/
    |- 5e57052914c8be3062d7efe2237160c1e3c5bc11.svg
    |- 834aba06fd119cd000555eac54ad1f6126400419.svg

On OJS, upload author_2020.html as article text and the svg files as dependent files (images). No need to worry about the directory structure.
