Dear all,

we would like to remove the whole “Section Policies” from “About the Journal”.
How can we do so?

Thanks a lot,
kopi

There isn’t currently a way to do this via configuration currently, but the line you are looking for is:

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-stable-2_4_7/templates/about/index.tpl#L34


			<li><a href="{url op="displayMembership" path=$peopleGroup->getId()}">{$peopleGroup->getLocalizedTitle()|escape}</a></li>
		{/iterate}
	{/if}
	{call_hook name="Templates::About::Index::People"}
</ul>
</div>
<div id="aboutPolicies">
<h3>{translate key="about.policies"}</h3>
<ul>
	{if $currentJournal->getLocalizedSetting('focusScopeDesc') != ''}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="focusAndScope"}">{translate key="about.focusAndScope"}</a></li>{/if}
	<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="sectionPolicies"}">{translate key="about.sectionPolicies"}</a></li>
	{if $currentJournal->getLocalizedSetting('reviewPolicy') != ''}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="peerReviewProcess"}">{translate key="about.peerReviewProcess"}</a></li>{/if}
	{if $currentJournal->getLocalizedSetting('pubFreqPolicy') != ''}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="publicationFrequency"}">{translate key="about.publicationFrequency"}</a></li>{/if}
	{if $currentJournal->getSetting('publishingMode') == $smarty.const.PUBLISHING_MODE_OPEN && $currentJournal->getLocalizedSetting('openAccessPolicy') != ''}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="openAccessPolicy"}">{translate key="about.openAccessPolicy"}</a></li>{/if}
	{if $journalSettings.enableLockss && $currentJournal->getLocalizedSetting('lockssLicense') != ''}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="archiving"}">{translate key="about.archiving"}</a></li>{/if}
	{if $paymentConfigured && $journalSettings.journalPaymentsEnabled && $journalSettings.membershipFeeEnabled && $journalSettings.membershipFee > 0}<li><a href="{url op="memberships"}">{translate key="about.memberships"}</a></li>{/if}
	{if $currentJournal->getSetting('publishingMode') == $smarty.const.PUBLISHING_MODE_SUBSCRIPTION}
		<li><a href="{url op="subscriptions"}">{translate key="about.subscriptions"}</a></li>
		{if !empty($journalSettings.enableAuthorSelfArchive)}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="authorSelfArchivePolicy"}">{translate key="about.authorSelfArchive"}</a></li>{/if}
		{if !empty($journalSettings.enableDelayedOpenAccess)}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="delayedOpenAccessPolicy"}">{translate key="about.delayedOpenAccess"}</a></li>{/if}
		{if $paymentConfigured && $journalSettings.journalPaymentsEnabled && $journalSettings.acceptSubscriptionPayments && $journalSettings.purchaseIssueFeeEnabled && $journalSettings.purchaseIssueFee > 0}<li><a href="{url op="editorialPolicies" anchor="purchaseIssue"}">{translate key="about.purchaseIssue"}</a></li>{/if}

If you knew for certain that every journal either had or didn’t have a Focus and Scope Description, you could alternatively
target this list item to be hidden by CSS:
#aboutPolicies > ul > li:nth-child(2)
or
#aboutPolicies > ul > li:first-child + li
