Open Peer Review- Renaissance, or Near Death Experience with Life Review
As someone who had written papers and articles and worked as part of
an editorial team I would like to make the following points:-
The current review process appears efficient,and fair. In many fields
the author and reviewer will already be known to one another. Naming the
reviewer, in the peer review process, might harm future relationships.
If a reviewer is too strident in their assessment this would be
rapidly circulated within that discipline. The potential 'bad press' might
deter responsible revewers form paticipating in the future.
