When the author wishes to withdraw his article from the reviewing process, the only way we see at the moment is, that he informs the Editor and the Editor chooses the decision „decline“. Or is there another way of handling this? (we are using OJS 3.1.1.2)
In addition e.g. for statistics, we think it is a difference whether it was a “declined” due to a negative judgment on the quality or scope by an editor/reviewer, or because of an authors withdrawal. Is it planned for the future to have a workflow for this?
