## Local server

It’s a Windows computer where the PC Programs and SciELO website (local site) run.

## SciELO collection or instance

SciELO Collection or instance is a website generated using SciELO Methodology, including the ones which do not use SciELO in their website name.

Examples of collections or instances: SciELO Brazil, SciELO Chile, SciELO Salud Pública, [Rev@Enf](mailto:Rev%40Enf), etc.

## Types of issues

There is a **review** number by year. Note: at the site the name adopted is **provisional**</dd><dt>pr (press release)</dt><dd style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 30px; hyphens: auto; line-height: 1.4em;">number whose purpose is to group the press releases texts of a number or article. There is a **pr** number by issue.</dd></dl></div>## Sequential number

The sequential number is a number formed by year (YYYY), followed by a number that gives the issue’s order within a year.

This number has two purposes:

<div id="bkmrk-order-of-the-issue-w"><div>- order of the issue within a year in the “all issues” page of the website
- forming PID.

<div></div></div></div>Attention

DO NOT MODIFY THIS ITEM if the issue has already been published on the website.

By convention, the sequential number is:

<div id="bkmrk-ahead-%3D-50-review%2Fpr"><div>- ahead = 50
- review/provisional = 75
- pr = from 100

</div></div>Example:

<div id="bkmrk-v.40-n.1-20091-v.40-"><div><table border="1" class="docutils" style="border: 1px solid #888888; border-collapse: collapse; box-shadow: #eeeeee 2px 2px 4px;"><colgroup><col width="70%"></col><col width="30%"></col></colgroup><tbody valign="top"><tr class="row-odd"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">v.40 n.1</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">20091</td></tr><tr class="row-even"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">v.40 n.2</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">20092</td></tr><tr class="row-odd"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">v.40 suppl.</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">20093</td></tr><tr class="row-even"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">v.40 suppl.2</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">20094</td></tr><tr class="row-odd"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">v.40 n.2 suppl.1</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">20095</td></tr><tr class="row-even"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">ahead</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">200950</td></tr><tr class="row-odd"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">review</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">200975</td></tr><tr class="row-even"><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">v.40 n.1 pr</td><td style="text-align: left; padding: 0.25em 0.7em; border: 1px solid #888888;">2009100</td></tr></tbody></table>

</div></div>## Folders Structure

SciELO PC Programs package has the folders:

<div id="bkmrk-bin-and-xml_scielo%2C-"><div>- bin and xml\_scielo, for programs
- serial, for data

</div></div>You can install them in the same or different folders. BUT by CONVENTION, we recommend C:\\scielo\\bin and c:\\scielo\\serial.

Examples of the same folder:

<div id="bkmrk-c%3A%5Cscielo%5Cbin%E2%80%A6-and-c"><div>- c:\\scielo\\bin… and c:\\scielo\\serial
- d:\\scielo\_v4.0\\bin and d:\\scielo\_v4.0\\serial

</div></div>Examples of different folders:

<div id="bkmrk-c%3A%5Cscielo%5Cbin%E2%80%A6-e-d%3A%5C">- c:\\scielo\\bin… e d:\\scieloserial
- d:\\scielo-programs\\bin… and d:\\scielo-dataserial

</div>## Programs folder

It contains the programs. E.g.: \\scielo\\bin

## Data folder

e.g.: \\scielo\\serial

In this folder are all data, all the databases.

> <div>- title: it contains data records related to the journal
> - section: it contains data records of sections of the table of contents
> - issue: it contains the records of journal’s issues
> - code: it contains tables of codes/labels
> - PubMed: is used in order to archive the XML files sent to PubMed
> - ISI: is used in order to archive the XML files sent to ISI
> - several [Journal’s folder](https://scielo.readthedocs.io/projects/scielo-pc-programs/en/latest/concepts.html#journal-s-folder): which contains the issues of the journal
> 
> </div>

### Journal’s folder

e.g.: \\scielo\\serial\\&lt;acronym&gt;

It contains several folders, each one for each issue of the journal.

> <div>![_images/concepts_serial.jpg](https://scielo.readthedocs.io/projects/scielo-pc-programs/en/latest/_images/concepts_serial.jpg)</div>

### Issue folder
