Describe the issue or problem
When a journal section is restricted to Editor and Section-Editor submissions only, the section policy text is hidden from regular user view, even when that section is not otherwise marked as inactive. We’d like to be transparent about the policy for that section, even though the entire submission/review workflow is handled in-house. We will not be accepting external submissions for this section (but will for other sections). Is this possible?
Steps I took leading up to the issue
Journal Settings > Sections > [Section title] > Edit > option for “Items can only be submitted by Editors and Section Editors” checked, but section is not otherwise deactivated
What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.014
