Hi @hussainyousaf
I looked at the Github page and see that the plugin doesn’t have a .tar.gz release. You need to use .tar.gz format for the Upload a New Plugin function (image).

If you can’t get a .taz.gz file, than you may download source as .zip file, upload to its relevant folder in plugins directory, extract the archive file, and then rename it.

The easier method;

  1. Please go to https://gitlab.com/reviewercredits/reviewercredits-ojs-plugin/-/tree/master

  2. Click the download icon just in the image, and click tar.gz from the menu, reviewercredits-ojs-plugin-master.tar.gz file will be downloaded to your computer.

  3. Go to Website settings → Plugins tab, and click Upload a New Plugin (image)

  4. Drag the file to the upload area.

For manual upload, please upload to Plugins → Generic directory, extract the file and rename as reviewerCredits

Since I could upload and install the same file on my OJS 3.2.x install, you might not have access to tar function, or might have some other server related issues.
If you have web based file manager, I suggest to use second method (download .zip file, upload it to plugins → generic directory, unzip, then rename, and activate at the OJS plugin settings page
