Announcing Transparent Peer Review
From the end of August 2019, Archaeometry will be participating in a pilot implementing Transparent Peer Review. This means accepted articles will have the reviewer reports, their responses, and the editor’s decision letter linked from the published article to where they appear on Publons. Don’t worry if this is not for you, this is not mandatory - Authors have the option to opt out during submission, and reviewers may remain anonymous unless they wish to sign their report.
More information on Transparent Peer Review can be found here and check out our blog post “Progressing Towards Transparency” on the Wiley Network.
"The reviewers were respectful, open and honest, while giving me a chance to present better work. It really helped and I feel that this is the way reviewing should be performed. I really applaud you (i.e. the editiorial board) for making this possible!"
