Can you make OJS send automatic response to incoming reviews?
Hi @Newtonite,
No, that’s currently a manual email. We’re unlikely to change that for OJS 2.x, as we’re currently focusing on new features for OJS 3.x. If you’re handy with PHP/MySQL, it’s a relatively small change.

Does that mean what is introduced in https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/docs/userguide/2.3.1/systemAdministrationGeneralConfig.html#systemAdministartionScheduledTasks requires PHP/MySQL programming?
Hi @Newtonite,
The scheduled tasks tool permits the journal to send automatic reminders to reviewers (either for review requests they haven’t responded to, and reviews they haven’t completed). However, it doesn’t include e.g. automatically thanking reviewers for completed reviews.

How do I turn on automatic reminder to reviewers then? I can’t seem to find the option in the Journal Manager page.
Hi @Newtonite,
You’ll need to turn on the scheduled tasks option in config.inc.php
, and then either enable the Acron plugin or set up a cron
job as directed in config.inc.php
and docs/README
. Using cron is the recommended configuration.
