Open peer review is explored by @ksenijab, Editor-in-Chief of the @EASE journal European Science Editing.
There are many variants, like open reports and opt-in open identities at PLOS ONE, reviewer discussion at Frontiers, open involvement, and post-publication peer review. Open review allows transparency, inclusiveness, and trust in journals. Attitudes vary by field (including being affected by its community size) and country.

Article processing charges suppress the scholarship of doctoral students
The open access movement has drastically reconfigured the financial burdens of scholarly publishing. Yet, the influence of a marketized scholarly publishing system on doctoral education remains unexplored. I reflect on my own PhD candidature to illustrate how article processing charges disempower doctoral candidates. I argue that the current open access publishing model unfairly advantages candidates with personal, familial and/or institutional wealth. The inequalities imposed on doctoral students by our sectors’ current publishing habits ultimately bias who will be paid to produce and safeguard knowledge in the future. Doctoral students can no longer be ignored in debates over open access publishing.
We are very pleased to have been awarded the DOAJ Seal for our journal, European Science Editing.
The #DOAJ Seal is awarded to journals that demonstrate best practice in #OpenAccess publishing, including long-term preservation, use of persistent identifiers, discoverability, reuse policies, and authors' rights.
Congratulations to the Editor-in-Chief, @ksenijab, and all her Editorial team.
