Sorry, this journal is currently not accepting submissions.

I am using OJS to manage a medical journal. which started in 1923. They have all these journals in a backlog for all these years. I need to continuously submit articles as a chief author for all those years to Date. I skipped a day to submit articles and loging in to submit i get the following message in Step 1.

Sorry, this journal is currently not accepting submissions. Please check back later.

Dear Guest,

I'm not sure if I will answer your question, but check this post for a little reference on how to publish previous issues.

What I believe is happening is that your sections are not allowing users to publish. Check the section configuration, for it may allowing only editors to publish.

Apparently you have submitted before, so what also happen is that the system does not allow to publish in previous issues... I'm not sure if you need to check the update for this that has been posted on this forum..

i have checked my section configurations they are all okay. all i need to do is to ensure continuous submission of the articles mannually via the whole editorial process. am the author and editor of this journal so is there anything i can change in the code to avoid this message.

Do you have the "Restricted to editors (e.g., Editorials), with no one else's submissions permitted" option selected for all of your sections?

Unless this is a new bug, that is the only thing that would cause that behaviour.

[kevin]

Actually, on further inspection it could also occur if you selected the "Authors select the journal editor..." rather than "Authors select the journal section..." option in step 2 of journal setup, and do not have any editors assigned to sections.

But the previous post is probably the more likely scenario.

Thanks alot, i have changed both options. the message in step 1 is no longer there. However, in Step 2 the section to put the Meta data is not available. It only ends ate the Submission Title.

I'm not sure if I understood your problem.

It seems the form is not showing on the screen...

Either you have a server problem (not likely!) or you have not defined the Metadata terms for you journal.

Please be a bit more descriptive of the screen so that Kevin can assess what is really happening...

The form is getting to that point, i cant paste any metadata number 3.what could be wrong?

You have to select the additional metadata fields you wish to use in journal setup step 3.
