Assign a Topic Classification

If you are a Curator for a Journal dataverse, you can add Topic Classification data to studies in review. Studies are sent for review by journal Contributors (authors), and are listed in the Review Studies page. You enter the Topic Classification for each study so that it appears in the appropriate collection (Volume/Year/Issue) for your journal.

To assign a Topic Classification to a study in review:

1. Navigate to your dataverse homepage.
2. Click My Options, scroll to Curator Options, and then click Review My Studies.
3. Click the study title to which you choose to assign a Topic Classification.
4. Click the Edit link located on the top-right area of the page.
5. On the Cataloging Information tab, scroll to the Topic Classification field and enter the journal abbreviation (optional), Year, Volume number, and Issue number.
   An example classification is ISQ 2005, Volume 49, Issue 1.
6. Click Save Changes or Cancel to lose your changes.

Note: You receive e-mail notification every time an author submits a new study for review. The e-mail is sent to the address set up for the journal's Dataverse Admin.
