journals.models.issue module

class journals.models.issue.Issue(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: django.db.models.base.Model

An Issue is related to a specific Journal, either indirectly via a Volume container, or directly. It is a container for multiple Publications.

in_journal

Accessor to the related object on the forward side of a many-to-one or one-to-one (via ForwardOneToOneDescriptor subclass) relation.

In the example:

class Child(Model):
    parent = ForeignKey(Parent, related_name='children')

Child.parent is a ForwardManyToOneDescriptor instance.

in_volume

Accessor to the related object on the forward side of a many-to-one or one-to-one (via ForwardOneToOneDescriptor subclass) relation.

In the example:

class Child(Model):
    parent = ForeignKey(Parent, related_name='children')

Child.parent is a ForwardManyToOneDescriptor instance.

slug

A wrapper for a deferred-loading field. When the value is read from this object the first time, the query is executed.

start_date

A wrapper for a deferred-loading field. When the value is read from this object the first time, the query is executed.

until_date

A wrapper for a deferred-loading field. When the value is read from this object the first time, the query is executed.

status

A wrapper for a deferred-loading field. When the value is read from this object the first time, the query is executed.

doi_label

A wrapper for a deferred-loading field. When the value is read from this object the first time, the query is executed.

Accessor to the related objects manager on the reverse side of a many-to-one relation.

In the example:

class Child(Model):
