I notice that Editors can receive notifications regarding any changes when the Author edits other information like metadata. However, if the Editor makes changes to the summary’s metadata or adds/removes an additional author, the principle author is not notified about these changes. Is there a way for Authors to receive notifications when the Editor makes any edits other than the reviewed submission?
Hi @E_Cinense,
Not without modifying OJS, I’m afraid.

Hmm, understandable. Not sure if this process is also apparent in the 3.0.1 version as well; I have yet to try it. Reason for this is my concern for transparency during the whole review process, it seems a bit one-sided if the editor knows more than the author, imo.
But as a programmer, it would also help me understand how the entire system works. Where in the files can I edit the Author’s notifications if i were to include the submission event?
Hi @E_Cinense,
In OJS 2.x, the metadata edit action is handled through classes/submission/common/Action.inc.php in the saveMetadata function.
