Editors can verify data from supporting sources through the DDH interface.
They verified the first set of journals for the DDH. The data for this task was taken from DOAJ. The process and the results are described in the blog post.
The DDH editors can continue verifying DOAJ journals that have not yet been verified, or unverified journals from other aggregators that can be imported into the DDH later.
The DDH editors can choose journals from a list to verify, create a verification assignment, and edit the journal metadata.
Since the DDH editors can assign unverified journals to themselves for a verification task, there is a filter “Diamond status” that helps to distinguish unverified journals from the verified ones. The editors can also use the “Assigned” filter to keep track of their tasks.
DDH editors collectively represent a special type of the trusted source within the DDH system. They “own” journals that that they verified for the DDH. The “owned by” filter helps to distinguish between journals owned by different data sources.
If any changes are proposed to the journals owned by the DDH editors, the filters “pending updates” and “pending deletions” help to filter out the journals that need their attention and action.
Additionally, the DDH editors can filter journals by individual diamond criteria.
