** Editing of reviewer comments
------------------------------------------------------------
With examples of possible problematic reviews or circumstances for which some editors might consider whether to edit or quash the review, we discuss whether there are any circumstances in which it is acceptable for an editor to change the content of a peer review.
* Is it ever acceptable for an editor to change the content of a peer review or to quash it altogether?
* If so, under what circumstances would this be acceptable?
* If not, why not?
We've already received some comments on the discussion topic on our website.
