Failed DOI : JSON error

HEllo,

I deposited my article via CrossRef plugin. Many were successful but those DOI which showed me the status failed aren’t opening and giving an error

Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned.

Now what to do, please guide. I am using OJS 3.1.1.4

Hi @a2usmani,

Is anything showing in the error log?

Hi @a2usmani

I’d recommend updating to OJS 3.1.2. Anything before 3.1.2 uses an older deposit API that is now quite deprecated. The upgrade from 3.1.1.4 to 3.1.2 isn’t a very big step, I don’t think. For even better results I’d probably recommend fully upgrading to 3.3.0-7, the latest version, but there are quite a few changes to the publication workflow so I maybe wouldn’t do it if you’re in the middle of working on an issue.

Best,
Mike
