Can I have all articles within an issue automatically, sequentially paginated?

Yes! If you're using Scholastica's Typesetting and Production service you can use our automatic pagination feature to ensure your articles within a given issue display consecutive pagination automatically.

How do I set an issue to use automatic pagination?

You'll first navigate to your Publishing Settings page to enable the display of page numbers in your article PDFs (note: this setting is turned 'on' by default).

Navigate to My Journals > Publishing > Publishing Settings > "Edit" under Typeset PDF settings.
