Hi all, and happy 2026! This update is mainly for Janeway users: we wanted to let you know about a new feature and highlight a service already included in your partnership. As always, please get in touch with us if you have any questions.
New Janeway Feature: GitHub Discussions
Janeway now uses GitHub Discussions to collaborate on potential new features, improvements, and ideas for the platform. This allows Janeway to work more closely with their users in determining what to work on next. These discussions are open to everyone within the Janeway community. All you need is a GitHub account and comments, suggestions or thoughts to share. You can also read what others are proposing or add your experience to help shape our priorities. You can view the ongoing discussions here.
DOI Feature: Updating Your Resolution URLs
We recently helped the Journal of Effective Teaching in Higher Education (JETHE) at UNCW to reconfigure their DOIs to point to their Janeway site instead of their OJS site. The process involved creating a two-column spreadsheet that included a column of each article’s DOI and a column of the article’s new URL (in this case, their Janeway URL) that each DOI should redirect to. We batch downloaded these metadata from Janeway, which made the process even easier. Stacy then uploaded this spreadsheet to Crossref. Crossref redirected each DOI almost instantaneously. If your journal's DOIs are pointing to an old site and you are interested in updating them to point to either Janeway or Meru, please get in touch. To read more about this process, see the Crossref guidance.
If your journal does not currently have DOIs but you are interested in adding them to your journal, we can help! We have a Crossref account and can add our credentials to your journal’s Janeway. This will allow you to automatically DOIs for new articles. Retroactively assigning DOIs to previously published articles is also possible.
