Two section editors for editing, both got same submission?

Hi,
I have enrolled 2 section editors for the editing part for a journal section. The problem is that after review automatically both of them got the same submission for “in editing”. So is there a way somehow the submission to go only to one of them, otherwise there will be confusion who from two of them is doing what?

The same for Section Editors for “in review”, if I have more than 1 for section, it will be confusing if all of them received same manuscript for review?

Hi @vebaev,

What version of OJS are you using?

Hi @vebaev,

Currently OJS will assign all of a section’s editors to the submission; to change that behavior, you’d need to edit classes/author/form/submit/AuthorSubmitForm.inc.php in the assignEditors function.

The other workaround I have found now is to not assign any s.editors to sections, so the editor will assign manualy SE upon submission.
