I was hoping someone could help me. How can I close a journal? We want to leave it up on the web, but we aren't going to take any submissions. I'm hoping there is an easy way to do this. Thanks for the help.

This forum is meant for general questions about the usability of OJS from an everyday user's perspective: journal managers, authors, and editors are welcome to post questions here, as are librarians and other support staff. We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.
What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:
1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.
2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.
3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

Hi,
When we close a journal to disallow new submissions but still make previous content available, I take the following steps.
In the Journal Management pages:
Setup 4.1: Turn off the ability for Authors to self register. I usually make this selection for reviewers as well.
Journal Sections: For each journal section, turn off the ability for authors to submit. I do this by choosing the option "items can only be submitted by Editors and Section Editors."
You can also take the additional step of unenrollling everyone who has the role of author, but that's not entirely necessary if you complete the step above.
Then I usually insert text in the home page that the journal is no longer accepting submissions, which can be done in step 5 of the Setup pages, as well as editing the Author Guidelines to indicate no submissions are being accepted.
All best,
Vanessa Gabler
