When authors submit an article through OJS, they provide certain metadata, an abstract, and so on. Is it possible to add additional fields where they can enter information? This information would be shown only to journal section managers.
Ideally, these additional fields should function like separate input boxes, similar to a Google Form, where you can input data into individual fields. Afterwards, it would be great if it could be exported into an Excel-like format for easy filtering and management. If such functionality is not available, what is the simplest way to collect and manage this information within OJS?
In terms of exporting information like a spreadsheet, there is the Articles report in the reporting function of OJS that does this, to an extent - that might also be worth looking at, to see if meets your needs.
