PKP User Guide reference: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/tools#quick-submit-plugin

The Quick Submit Plugin is useful for journals that have production-ready content that does not need to go through the usual submission, review, and editing processes. Content submitted via the Quick Submit plugin goes directly to the production stage. It can be useful in the following cases:

·         The journal is migrating to OJS from a different platform and has back issues to import.

·         The journal is not using OJS’s editorial workflow

·         The journal has digitized aticles/issue from an original print journal.

Thank you to Susan Elkins from Sam Houston State University for the initial documentation on which the following instructions are based.
