Description

Problem
Publisher's notes are a very nice feature. However, we find them a bit too present where they currently are placed (below the abstract, e.g. https://www.inggrid.org/article/id/3726/), making the flow of text a bit difficult.

Moreover, in the backend they are assigned a time stamp, which is also very useful. The frontend does not have this.

And lastly, sometimes, it is also useful to have a publisher's note only for internal use. Currently, publisher's notes are only public.

Proposed solution

  • option to move Publisher's notes to the bottom of the page
  • make the header of Publisher's notes smaller
  • show timestamp of each note in the frontend
  • add option to have publisher's notes only visible in the backend

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Locate the Publisher's notes implementation across the frontend and backend, then trace how placement, headings, timestamps, and visibility are represented; done means all four proposed options work without exposing internal notes publicly.
