SAJAS system upgrade (OJS version 3.4.0-9 to version 3.5.0-2)

13-04-2026

Dear SAJAS contributors,

Please note that the journal's online system was upgraded from version 3.4.0-9 to version 3.5.0-2 over the past weekend (11-12 April). This has caused some changes in the layout and appearance of the website and user dashboards, although the general workflow remains the same. Some minor issues associated with the upgrade have been picked up, so please bear with us while these are resolved. Links to the updated guidelines for authors, reviewers, and section editors will be distributed shortly.

Thank you for your patience!

Kind regards,

SAJAS Editorial Team
