Pending publications

• All non-approved information entered by any of the organisation's standard users and administrators is shown in the list
• Clicking the publication-ID (picture below, part A) takes you back to the publication information saving process and you may edit the information. Don’t forget to save changes by clicking " Save changes and go to publications list" in step 5.
• Publication information can be approved by clicking on the different statuses in the column on the right (picture below, part B). The different statuses are as follows:
  
  

• -1 Rejected: The publication has been rejected or contains significant errors (https://wiki.eduuni.fi/x/YH7qAg).
• 0 Incomplete, not yet public: Publication data will not be transferred into research.fi or reported in the data collection by the Ministry of Education and Culture, but the data might be transferred to specific separately agreed services.
• 1 Incomplete, public: Publication data may be published via the interfaces of the data repository and transferred to research.fi. However, the data is incomplete and cannot yet be used as part of the data collection by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
• 2 Completed/MinEdu: The publication may be reported in research.fi and it contains all the values required in the data collection by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
• 3 Not part of data collection: The publication is not included in the MINEDU data collection, the publication is reported in the research.fi service. 
  
  

• By choosing a status for the publication the standard user who entered the publication information is no longer able to edit the information (for them the publication moves to ‘Processed publications’).

• Changing the status is taken into account in the VIRTA service

• VIRTA service checks for any new or modified publication information automatically from JUSTUS in every few minutes so there might be a short delay for approved publication information to show up in e.g. the Research.fi service.
