Description

Sometimes an author might choose to withdraw a paper. This is a new stage as its a useful metric to count.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option for:

  • The author to withdraw the paper
  • The editor to mark the paper as withdrawn
  • These articles should appear in the archive noted as Withdrawn rather than rejected.
