Open peer review is the various possible modifications of the traditional scholarly peer review process. The three most common modifications to which the term is applied are:[1]
Open identities: Authors and reviewers are aware of each other's identity.[2][3]
Open reports: Review reports are published alongside the relevant article (rather than being kept confidential).
Open participation: The wider community (and not just invited reviewers) are able to contribute to the review process.
These modifications are supposed to address various perceived shortcomings of the traditional scholarly peer review process, in particular its lack of transparency, lack of incentives, wastefulness,[1] bullying and harassment.[4]
