How can a reviewer delete a review?

Important Considerations

• Only reviewers and editors can delete a review.
• Once the editorial decision has been made on a manuscript, a review cannot be deleted.
• WARNING - The review will be physically deleted and cannot be recovered. Reviewers should only use this feature if they discover that they accidentally submitted the wrong review.
