Updating contributor metadata in OJS is only logged in the Activity Log if it relates to the first author. If details of co-authors are updated then these do not show in the activity logs, despite being updated in the UI. As well as meaning that the submission will have hidden actions if it is audited, this is causing us problems when it comes to the production process.
Steps I took leading up to the issue
-
Access the Contributors tab in a submission
-
Update Contributor information for anyone apart from the 1st author
-
Check the Activity Log - there will NOT be a log for Submission metadata updated
-
Update the Contributor information for the 1st author
-
Check the Activity Log - there will be a log for Submission metadata updated
What application are you using?
