[Video] Open Peer Review

Open Peer Review (OPR) is any scholarly review mechanism providing disclosure of the author and referee or reviewers' identities to one another at any point during the peer review or publication process. Reviewers' identities may be disclosed to the public. This is in contrast to the traditional peer review process, where reviewers remain anonymous to anyone but the journal's editors, while authors' names are disclosed from the beginning.
Open Peer Review is an important aspect of Open Science. Opening up what has traditionally been a closed process increases opportunities to spot errors, validate findings, and increase our overall trust in published outputs.
This video aims to 1) understand the meaning and value of open peer review for journals and 2) encourage researchers to publish in open peer review journals.
OPR is imperfect and does not mean that all bias will be eradicated or that senior researchers will not retaliate if younger researchers criticize their work. It will, however, make such occurrences more open and can lead to reviewers' reputations being damaged when they act inappropriately.

Turning Scientific Brilliance into a Startup Success
1 年I agree with your points. It’s good that you brought this up publicly. This is an issue and I don’t think particular group suffers more then the other. Several times during the last few years I received comments from the reviewers that made no sense. I think that problem is systematic because we face conflict of interests in the process. Maybe open review is better process but it still does not remove biases. If reviewer is an expert then they have published in the same domain and if that is true and to be promoted everyone needs citations…….

1 年Publishing has become a business rather than the forum where we the scientists report and debate the research findings. Peer-review has been degraded in some cases because there is no time to perform proper review and there are too many papers and too few reviewers. Peer-review is the process of advancing the published work. It must be constructive. It is not a vehicle for promoting the reviewers. It is a method for making sure that the science is good and worth archival publication. Open peer-review is a method that may or may not suceed. The bottom line is that the quality depends on us, on the research community.

1 年A fascinating post. I have been disturbed for some time in reviewing that some journals provide information on who the authors are - which seems to me to increase the risk of the bias you talk about. That said, reading old lighting papers I am struck mostly by the conversation between author and reviewers at the end of these works. It would be great to figure out a system that encouraged that level of communication and support, without the accompanying (unconscious or otherwise) bias. I will read this OPR documentation with interest as it seems to me the whole twitterverse and increasing need for moderation of online comment forums, some form of moderation will be essential and then we are back where we started with your very legitimate concerns?
