How to change content of 'Current Issue' page?

[jamglas]

I am an editor and we use OJS for all the pre-publication stages – submission, review etc, but not from proof readingonwards. However, because the journal is published jointly with our professional society and a publishing house, we do not actually publish it online using OJS.

So, can you please tell me how to edit the page, which appears under ‘current issue’. It displays a page showing the following ‘This journal has not published any issues. ISSN: 1743-5234’ . I have used the system very successfully for over a year, but I can’t figure out a way to change this. Ideally I would like to include an image and text.

Can you please advise – preferably without having to go into the HTML code

Hello jamglas,

You could publish a "dummy" issue, with the cover and an Editorial (could just be the "abstract"), with the URL to it's online location or, if you don't publish online at all, possibly add information on how to acquire the issue.

Yes, thanks Ramon, it's more trouble than I had hoped for, but good suggestion!

Hi Jamglass,

Additionally, more recent versions of OJS have an option to remove the current/archives links by choosing "OJS will not be used to publish the journal's contents online" in Journal Setup Step 4.1.

Thanks James,

That option does not appear on my set up pages - so must be using and earlier version. Anyway, thanks for reply - Ramon's answer helped and I set up a 'fake' issue using the journal cover - looks better than appearing not to have published any issues.

Hi James,

I don't know if that's because I miss anything or it's a bug, but but the link "Current Issue" is still there after I checked "OJS will not be used to publish the journal's contents online". So it seems that the link can't be removed.
