This page will help you with the Open Journal System as an author or an editor or a journal manager. All of the contents can be found in the OJS guideline.
It provides an introductory overview for each stage of the workflow from submission to production. It also provides further background information on some of the configuration options.
When you see Help links within the application, they'll open a help panel with the most useful information for that section.
A more detailed look at this software is available in Learning OJS 3.0.
