Preliminary exploration on peer review processes of university sci-tech journals in an open science era
Peer review is an important part of the scientific publishing process.However,traditional peer review appears to have some bias.To improve peer review in accordance with the open science,several models of open peer review(OPR)have been proposed,main OPR models include open identities,open reports,open participation,open interaction;open pre-review manuscripts,open final-version commenting,and open platforms.OPR is growing rapidly which brings greater transparency and participation to peer review processes.Open reports,open participation and open final-version commenting seems to have great potential for improvement of peer review processes of university sci-tech journals.
