Open Journal Systems (OJS): FAQ
Information for editors
Common OJS tasks are well documented on PKP's YouTube channel and documentation. While their support and documentation is comprehensive, we find that our users frequently ask certain questions. Please search our (still) growing list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) below. If you would like us to add a tutorial/explanation to this list, please reach out: lib-dls@okstate.edu.
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| How do I make edits to an article once I have published it? | Navigate to the article submission and upload a new galley file (full explanation). |
| How do I directly publish an article/how do I use the QuickSubmit Plugin? | Find the QuickSubmit Plugin on the left-hand menu: "Tools" >> "Import/Export" (full explanation). |
| Why does OJS warn me about using an old version of the software when I log in? | This warning is harmless. You can ignore it (full explanation). |
| Why does strange text like ã, ’, and é show up in article titles, contributor names, and abstracts? | Certain characters like ü, é, ã, and some punctuation marks do not transfer properly when copied from PDF or Microsoft Word files and pasted into OJS. They can be manually replaced by a journal editor. (full explanation) |
