Using Issues for Quality Control

EPrints 3.1 introduces a new feature to assist with the quality control process.

EPrints can automatically identify potential issues with an item and bring them to the attention of the repository editor or administrator.

This page describes how issues are shown in the Web UI and how the process of identifying issues works behind the scenes.

The Issues Interface

Issues with individual items

EPrints reports any potential issues with an individual item on the item control page. This can be useful for:

  • a depositor editing an item before submitting to review
  • an editor reviewing an item before making it live
  • an editor or administrator viewing/editing an item in the live archive

The number of issues identified appears on the Details tab:

A new "Issues" tab is also available:

Selecting this tab will list the full details of the issues identified with the item:
