It would be helpful if citations that are identified automatically as related to other imported articles could bypass Cynthia's queue for review. She and Minaxi have been approving all of these citations so that they land in the Board manager queues, but it seems like if that is an automatic decision it could be handled by the system more efficiently. There isn't a large volume of citations that fall in this category (e.g., there were 7 last month), but they land in Cynthia's queue mixed in with the other articles so I imagine it can be somewhat tedious to make sure these get approved.
The import code gets more complicated and harder to comprehend and modify every time we touch it. 😛 I've stared at it for a while and I think I've concluded that (a) if the CORE JOURNALS box is checked, the imported articles will already have been moved up to the Published state, so we don't need (or want) to do it again for these related articles (creating a duplicate Published row in the article state table); and (b) if the FAST TRACK box is checked we don't want to set the state to Published for the imported related articles, because that could override a different explicitly chosen state.
Does that sound right?
As we (librarians) import the monthly search results, we are prompted to import any related citations that were automatically identified. We then import them without checking any boxes which puts them in the librarian queue. Core journals or fast track check boxes would not apply to these related citations when automatically identified and imported during our monthly batch imports.
The core journals check box is only used for the results of our weekly core journal searches. No related citations have been identified or imported to date while importing the results of the core journal searches nor would I expect any but it is not impossible.
I am not sure if any other users that import citations, besides myself and Jeff, have encountered automatically identified related citations.
If someone is fast tracking an article and upon import related citations are identified, it is possible that they might want to fast track the related citations as well. Although if the article is fast tracked then the related citation would not need to be fast tracked as well because it is linked to the article.
I would prefer not to decide what the software should do based on assumptions that "no user will ever do X." I'm going to make sure that the import module does not create duplicate rows in the state table, and I'm going to make sure that if the user does decide to specify the desired state for the imported related articles (for whatever reason) that decision is honored.
Any requirement that we remove or disable fields on this followup page would be out of scope for this ticket.
You're the owner of the ticket, ~juther, so feel free to chime in. 😉
Of course, I was providing current user behavior and experience because I thought it might help.
Appreciated, thanks.👍
Implemented on EBMS DEV.
Tested on dev using a file from the August review cycle that I knew had 3 related citations to import. All three bypassed my queue successfully to the published state.
34161711, 34048687, 34096690 are the 3 related citations and should appear in the Adult Rx Colorectal cancer queue.
verified on dev
Tested on QA, see 33200890 and 29554195 both of which are core journal articles with comments (related citations) from the same journal as well as from other journals. Only same journal related citations were imported and none appeared in the med librarian queue. So the bypass works.

Verified on PROD. Closing ticket.
