Acceptance e-mail of reviewer goes to the wrong section editor

Hi,

In our journal we enrolled 3 section editors for the same section. The editor is one of these section editors.
Our editor invites the reviewers, but the acceptance e-mail from the reviewer goes to one of the section editors who is not the editor. We would like the acceptance e-mail to go to the editor. How could we manage this?
At the same time we want that all of the section editors receive a notification of new submissions, but the correspondence with the reviewer only via the editor.

Regards,

JE

Hi @AI_JE,

What version of OJS are you using? (Please include this information in your posts.)

Hi Alec,

We are using OJS 2.4.7.1.

Kind regards,

JE

Hi @AI_JE,

As Editor, check the submission’s Summary page to see which Section Editors are assigned to the specific submission. Is the Section Editor who doesn’t expect to be receiving the message assigned there?

Hi Alec,

All three Section Editors are assigned to this submission.

Hi @AI_JE,

The notification should go to all assigned editors/section editors. Is the user who is not receiving the notification assigned to the submission?

Hi Alec,

All assigned editors/section editors — let’s say A, B and C (where B is our editor) — do receive the notification, but in the email template “Review Confirm”, the reviewer writes “Dear A”. This means that {$editorialContactName} is filled in automatically by OJS with A, where we want it to be B. Does OJS choose for {$editorialContactName} the first section editor in alphabetical order? Could you please explain me how to change this.

Regards,

JE

Hi @AI_JE,

The name is taken from the first editor it encounters in the list; see the code for this at ojs/ReviewerAction.inc.php at ojs-2_4_7-1 · pkp/ojs · GitHub.

Hi Alec,

Thank you for your explanation. I am the journal manager, not the administrator of our journal. Is their a way for a journal manager to change the order of the 3 section editors (A, B, C) to get the editor on the first place (B, A, C)?

Hi @AI_JE,

Not without modifying OJS, I’m afraid.
