I’m trying to figure out if this is normal behavior or a glitch.
I am a journal manager and recently clicked “login as” for an author on a submission where a review had been submitted, but the editor did not yet make a decision.
I was surprised to see that the author is able to read the review before the editor has made a decision.
Is this normal behavior or a glitch of some kind? I feel like the review shouldn’t be accessible to the author until the editor has made a decision.
In the attached image, the Editor Decision notification is just the notification it was sent for review. In this case the Editor has not made a decision yet based on the review.
We are on 3.4.0.5
