Overview

This page details the Journal content type. On this page you will find different representations of the data elements contained within this type.

Below is the xsd for the Journal content type that defines the import xml format. Also provided is mapping tables generated based on this XSD as well as an example xml that shows how the fields can be populated.

This is logical broken down into the different elements to help you gain a better understanding of the Journal content type and how to create, read and update these records using the mechanisms provided in Pure.

Note: for the mapping tables all attributes and elements are listed, along with descriptions of the purposes of the field and any data requirements. Attribute are prefaced with an "@" to differentiate from elements, but as shown in the examples this isn't used when generating the xml.

Some elements offer options of which elements to include (such as whether to provide the ID of a person or organisation or name for lookup). These are denoted by reference to "Option Groups" where numbers are used to indicate where multiple elements are part of the same option. See example xmls for demonstrations of how to use these elements.

The journal content type represents a journal produced by a publisher. This can be related to research outputs that are published in journals or to activites where a researcher has been an editor or peer reviewer for the journal.

Below are a series of attachments for your reference:

Simple Example XML - This shows only the mandatory fields that need to be populated
Advanced Example XML - This shows all fields that can be used. Snippets of this file are shown with their related elements below.
XSD (Xml Schema Definition) - This is a definition of what structure the XML must follow. This page has been generated based on the contents of the xsd file, and snippets of the definition are shown with their relevant element below

                                The endpoint must handle the resumptionToken in the following manner:
                                If an empty resumptionToken is sent, the endpoint must return all data. If a non-empty resumptionToken is sent, the endpoint must return all data that has changed since the time the resumptionToken was sent.
