Feature request - Submission status

[treliki]

Hello,
have you ever considered adding another submission status visible to the author and editors,
which says something like "Editing finished" or "Ready to publish"?
Proofreaded articles appears to author to be in editing stage, which can be confusing to authors.
Thank you for answer.

Hi treliki.

OJS currently only differentiates between four submission 'states': unassigned, in review, in editing, and in the archives (either published or not, as the case may be); it doesn't currently support intermediary steps, and I believe that the assumption is that authors will know, from their correspondence with the editors etc., that the article is indeed ready for publication. I can send this suggestion along to the team however, for consideration.

Thanks,
James
