Merge Duplicate Journals JobMerge Duplicate Journals Job

What

There are a lot of duplicate Journals inside your Pure and you would like to merge these.

How:

  • There is a job called Merge Duplicate Journals.
  • This job is normally a part of the sequential cron job "QABO data import & cleanup" (SequentialExecutingCronJob), but if you do not have PRS, then you will be able to run the job separately by finding it under Administrator > Jobs > Cron Job Scheduling and then under Create new job.
  • The following matching rules apply:
    • Two Journals will only be merged if both:
      • Have Scopus as source or secondary source
      • Have the same Scopus source ID / secondary source ID
      • Have a matching ISSN (it will check in both ISSN, Electronic ISSN and Alternative ISSNs)

        All criteria must be met for the job to merge. That means a matching Scopus ID and at least one matching ISSN. 
  • When Journals are merged by this job the merge details are added as a comment on the Journal with ReflectionMergeConverter as the username:
