File type in the 5th step of the submission process

Dear,

In the 5th step of the file submission process there is list of all submitted files, the table File Summary. Makes sense.

The question I have is: What is the purpose of the column “Type”?

It is always “Submission File”. I would expect it should be:

  • “Submission File” for the manuscript and
  • the file type you specify for supplementary files in the step 4a

Can you please explain to me the purpose of that column?

Regards, Primož

Hi @primozs,

The “Type” column should contain “Submission File” for the manuscript upload, and “Supplementary File” for any supplementary files uploaded in step 4. I’ve just tested locally and it seems to work as expected. What version of OJS are you using, and have you made any modifications to it?

Hi Alec,

Thank you for a quick answer. I haven’t done any modifications to the OJS, but it is rather old version of it, 2.4.3. I have checked on newer version, 2.4.7-1, and it works OK. I am sorry, I should have checked it earlier. No need to bother with the old version, we are soon upgrading it and I guess the problem will be solved.
