3.50 - Workflow refinements

4 July 2022

 

- Workflow refinements: recommendation/decision rights are now totally customizable depending on the profile:
Example 1: some editors needs both the right to request a revision, and the right to recommend the revision to their parent.
Example 2: in some workflows, editors sometimes do not have the rights to reject or even to recommend rejection.

- New actions and rights: in addition to being rejected/withdrawn, articles may now be closed and deleted.

- Update of the advanced search: search criteria may now be combined using groups, AND/OR operators.
This dramatically improves the usefulness of advanced searches (which can be saved and displayed on the dashboard).

- New visibility rights: status and mail history may now be hidden depending on the editor profile.
Typically, this is useful to hide referees' information from copy editors.
