The role of section editor

Software Support
1

hello all ,
my journal policies have 5 section editor thatcomplete the work “send reviewer and …” this editor choose one from five section editor depend on specification i can’t make this workflow in ojs3
the ojs3 work in this work flow or need to return to ojs2 in that can do this work flow

2

So are you trying to have a workflow where:

  • you have one journal editor and five sections editors
  • the editor can see all incoming submissions and assign section editors to submissions
  • the section editor assigns the reviewers and makes editorial decisions possibly with assistance from a copyeditor, layout editor and proofreader.

Is this what you are trying to accomplish or something different? What I described is of course possible in OJS3

3

thank you
this exactly i want to do but can’t do
after make 5 user as section editor and one editor from the editor can select section editor no place or form point to section editor in editor board

4

Are you trying to:
a) assign a section editor to a journal section (then the section editor would automatically get all submissions in that section)? or
b) assign a single submission for a section editor?

5

thank you
i work with ojs3 and no section, old version have section but not found in ojs3

in old version all work ok but with this version no section or department

6

See Settings => Journal => Sections
https://pkp.gitbooks.io/ojs3/content/en/journal_settings.html

7

but if point about article as a section all section editor work with article but the article in different specification need different section editor

8

If you want to have a specific section editor for all articles in a specific section, then you have to define in the section settings which section editor gets all the submission in that section. Or are you trying to accomplish something different?

9

no the same section but different section editor can do that

10

So you want the editor to choose a section editor for each incoming submission?

11

big thank
yes i need that can do or must make section

12

Then try to follow these instructions: https://pkp.gitbooks.io/ojs3/content/en/submissions.html

13

ok but the add link in Participants panel.after click add link can see the page except the part of locate a user still loading for long time “can see all page but the part in upper named locate user” can not see and instead see word loading

14

Then you have errors somewhere and scripts are not loading.

You should check your php error log and or your javascript console for errors. Have you turned errors or notifications on in config.inc.php?

15

display_errors = Off

make it on?
or there is other thing to do

16

well if something is not loading then there is probably some kind of error somewhere. I would start by checking the error log and javascript console - what happens when you try to add a section editor.

17

still loading and in the browser no error
the error in the browser or i other place

18

What browser do you use?

19

sory to make you wait but important isue and now finsh
chrome browser but i have firefox also

20

i wait about 20m no error message but all site “server” stop response until close this page
but if not click on add but point and open in new tab the error message

{“status”:true,“content”:"\n\n\t\t\tHelp\n\t</a>\n\n

what can do please
