[Journal] Using Open Journal System for Vol 4.

[Rafal Wawer]

Dear Taylor,
The system works very fine ideed, but I have found one obstacle, which
is uploading of a new version of an article. Sometimes authors send an
improved version of an article in a short time after the sobmission and
in OJS I did not find any "upload new version" or soemthing similiar.
Since the collection of articles for each volume takes some months, the
need for a change in early submitted article may arise.
Unfortunetly I am not as aware of online editorial systems, as I would
wish to be, but in the previous wiki you could change all data related
to an article till the closing date of particular volume. For me as an
author it was very usefull indeed.
Best regards:
Raf

Just to clarify re: OJS...
It is primarily intended for authors to upload their abstracts/ 
proposals or their papers.  Then it allows editors to be notified of  
new articles when added to the section they are editing.  Rafal's  
submissions are a good example, the articles are put into different  
categories and the appropriate editor should have received notice.   
They will then appear in the editorial queue for that editor.  New  
files can uploaded by editor, reviewers  or the author.  OJS can also  
handle the peer review process which we will be testing this time  
around with at least one article.  (There is a Peer Review section an  
author can choose).

We will still put our final files into SVN and still pull it all  
together with latex - OJS doesn't help us with that part at all,  
though it might in the future.

Tyler
