I have a user who has a few roles in their journal, however they have noticed that some articles will auto assign to them and some don’t. I looked in the logs and didn’t see anything out of place. Does anyone have any insight?
If you go to the section for which the articles are submitted to in Journal - Settings - (and then Edit the particular section) - do you see them listed there? They may be still listed there despite not having an explicit role of section editor assigned.
Thanks for clarifying. I’m out of ideas as to what to suggest here, but I’ll see one of our other team members can weigh in when they have the opportunity.
In OJS 3.3.0-x and prior, if there was ever only a single user assigned to a journal role like Copyeditor, Proofreader, etc., they were automatically assigned. When there are 2 or more users in a role, that behavior will not happen.
This behaviour has been removed starting with OJS 3.4.0.
There are multiple users with those roles and in this particular journal at least 9 JMs. This user does have a few more roles than the other JMs so that could be why OJS is auto assigning.
