Editorial Access

How Journal Data Is Managed

By design, this site does not have a public web-based admin panel or database — journal data is stored in plain files inside /data/journals/, one file per journal, and is edited directly by the editorial team. This keeps the dataset simple, auditable, and safe from remote tampering, since there is no login form on the live site for anyone to attack.

To add or update a journal

Connect to the server with your hosting file manager or an SFTP client, open /data/journals/, and either edit an existing journal's file or copy _template.php to a new file named after the journal (e.g. my-journal-name.php). Save the file — the change appears on the live registry immediately, no rebuild or deploy step required.

Want a real login-protected dashboard instead?

A browser-based admin panel with authentication and a database is a separate, larger build (it needs secure login, session handling, and a proper database instead of flat files) and hasn't been included here. Let your developer know if you'd like that added later — the current file-based structure will still work underneath it.
