How could I move axis and tick labels from the left to the right vertical axis, while retaining ticks on both vertical axes, but removing ticks, axis labels, and tick labels from the top and bottom axes?

See the following example:

Plot[
  Sin[x]^3, {x, 0, 10 π}, Frame -> True, 
  FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"},
  FrameTicks -> {{True, True}, {True, True}}
]

  • $\begingroup$ Ticks on the left y-axis are also wanted. $\endgroup$

1. Use FrameTicks -> {All, {None, None}} and hide unwanted tick labels using FontOpacity -> 0 in FrameTicksStyle :

Plot[Sin[x]^3, {x, 0, 10 Pi}, Frame -> True, 
 FrameTicks -> {All, {None, None}}, 
 FrameTicksStyle -> {{FontOpacity -> 0, Automatic}, Automatic},
 FrameLabel -> {{None, "x"}, {"y", None}}]

enter image description here

2. Use Charting`ScaledFrameTicks[{Identity, Identity}] to generate ticks without labels:

Plot[Sin[x]^3, {x, 0, 10 Pi}, Frame -> True, 
 FrameTicks -> {{Charting`ScaledFrameTicks[{Identity, Identity}], All}, {None, None}},
 FrameLabel -> {{None, "x"}, {"y", None}}]

  • $\begingroup$ The left and right axes are perfect what I want, but no ticks and labels are required on the bottom and top axes. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @SciJewel, define rotatedFrameLabels = Charting`ScaledTicks[{Identity, Identity}][##] /. l_NumberForm :> Rotate[l, 90 Degree] &; and replace All with {rotatedFrameLabels, rotatedFrameLabels} in method 1 and with rotatedFrameLabels in method 2. $\endgroup$
