Important
This implementation is part of a set of features and fixes developed within the context of a project for the TGDK academic journal, with the goal of customizing Janeway to meet the journal's specific needs, which may also be extended to other contexts.
Problem / Objective:
In workflows where only the review stage is selected, accepted articles (final state) are not accessible from the interface. Although the articles exist in the system, there is no direct way to view or manage them. This becomes particularly relevant when the editorial workflow is limited to the review stage, as the visibility of accepted articles is crucial for logistical purposes.
Solution:
A new panel has been added to the "Back Content" section, accessible via the sidebar, to display a table of accepted articles. This panel allows users to view articles that have been accepted during the review process but have not yet been published.
This feature enhances usability for journals with simplified workflows, improving accessibility and management of accepted articles.
The panel's visibility and access are configurable through the "Show Accepted Article Archive" setting, located under the "Other" section in Journal Settings. By default, the panel is hidden and must be enabled in the settings.
