Description
This insights and signals report provides an overview of recent open peer review policies and initiatives. Open peer review fosters greater openness throughout the review process: it could entail practices ranging from simply making reviewer identities known to authors to providing readers access to the identities of peer reviewers and their review reports. This practice is gaining traction to improve the transparency and equity in the peer review process. However, there are diverse models and considerations needed in the adoption of open peer review, such as unequal participation, reluctance to make reviewers’ identities public, and inconclusive evidence of its benefits and possible downsides.
