Summary guidelines for peer review publication based on COPE (https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines/editing-peer-reviews) including:

1. Journals should have clear guidelines for reviewers on what is acceptable and unacceptable in a reviewer report regarding tone, language, and content.

2. The journal policy for whether and under what circumstances a review might be edited or suppressed should be clearly stated.

3. Ideally, any edits of the review should be the result of collaboration with the reviewer by giving them the opportunity to revise the report themselves to comply with the journal’s guidelines.

4. The editor should inform the reviewer of any significant edits made to their review if the reviewer was not involved in the editing process. Such edits should address only issues of tone, language, and deviations from journal policy and reviewer guidelines, and should not change the meaning or intention of the review, nor alter the reviewer’s professional opinion about the quality, content, or intellectual validity of the manuscript under review.

5. As an alternative to editing the review itself, the editor should provide guidance to the author on how to respond to a hostile or unprofessional review and reference the journal policy that precludes editing the reviews, if applicable. This guidance could be provided in editorial parenthetic comments within the review itself or in an editor’s decision letter.
