Silverchair released a report on the Future of Peer Review - www.silverchair.com/news/tech-tr... indicating that reviewers are largely in favor and looking forward to transparent peer review. However data on survey methods, invites and response rate is lacking.

NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

Peer Review Congress #PRC11 Coming 2029!@peerreviewcongress.bsky.social · 11mo ago

In a non-randomized comparison of published (open) vs unpublished #PeerReview from 233 @ElsevierNews @SpringerNature journals 2016-2021, open reviews were longer (median 22 vs 17 sentences) & had higher information scores (0.52 vs 0.46) @mariomalicki.bsky.social @squazzoni.bsky.social #OpenScience

Women’s reports had a higher information score than men’s reports (difference, 6.3%), and reviewers from non-Western institutions had lower scores than those from Western institutions (difference, −6.0%).

Open peer review reports were longer than traditional unpublished reports, with the greatest differences found in the number of suggestion and solution sentences. These results suggest that increasing the transparency of peer review could lead to more detailed reports that focus on manuscript improvement.
