Administration

  1. Introduction
  2. Hosted Journals
  3. Administrative Functions

Site administration is limited to users with full system permissions. Administration tasks are infrequent and may be carried out by a journal manager, senior editor, or a dedicated site administrator.

Hosted Journals

Add, edit or remove journals hosted on this installation. There will only be one journal in most cases, but you can host multiple journals with a single installation.

Administrators, journal managers or senior editors can access a Settings Wizard for each hosted journal, which will walk you through the basic journal setup steps. These include setting up the masthead, contact details, site appearance, submission parameters, indexing details and users.

Administrative Functions

Several administrative functions are available in the site administration area. These should be used with caution by technical administrators. Improper use could lead to unexpected results.

System Information

Detailed information about the software version and server configuration. These details are useful for receiving support on the PKP Forums.

Expire User Sessions

This link will log all users out of the system immediately. This can be useful just before conducting a software upgrade.

Clear Data Caches

Clears all cached data, including locale information, help cache, and search cache.

Clear Template Cache

Clears all cached versions of HTML templates. This function may be useful to force templates to be reloaded after customizations have been made.

Clear Scheduled Task Execution Logs

Remove log files generated automatically by some scheduled maintenance tasks, such as the processing of statistics.
