I have a related issue. If authors add their name to the “Rights” field on submission, that information is also available in the “View All Submission Details” link for reviewers.
The easy solution, of course, is not to give authors that field on submission, but we do remind authors continuously that they still have copyright on their article even in an open access journal.
Would this be considered a bug, or are there other GUI settings I’m missing that would keep the copyright metadata from being made available to reviewers?
Thanks,
David
