Merging papers:
In paper merges there is a paper that will acquire a merge (and get an Acquires_merge tag in the .ace file) and a paper that is being merged into another (will get a Merged_into tag in the .ace file).
Which paper to merge into which, in some cases, actually matters. If authors or other users are familiar with a paper with one ID, then probably best to keep the familiar ID.
To perform the merge in the paper editor:
- Enter the ID of the paper to be merged in the paper editor.
- Make this paper's ID invalid by deselecting the valid box to the right of the ID and selecting the update box to the right of that.
- Also, add the ID of the paper to which this paper is being merged in the form of WBPapernnnnnnnn, select the valid button and the update button and enter the data into postgres b by clicking on the Update Info! button.
For the paper that is acquiring the merge, do essentially the same thing:
- Enter its ID in the paper editor and then add the invalid paper's ID, in the form WBPapernnnnnnnn, to the list of identifiers for the paper that is acquiring the merge.
- Select the valid and update button and click on Update Info!.
If information, such as authors, title, abstract, needs to be transferred from one paper to another, this has to be done manually:
- Cut and paste the information from one entry into another, make the information invalid in the old paper entry and valid in the new paper entry.
- Don't forget to check the update box for each entry you change and click on Update Info! when you're done.
There is a link to the .ace file on the page that is returned after you click on Update Info!, so you can check the .ace file to see that everything looks okay.
