During editing and production
Open peer review
Several ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× journals now feature open peer review. With open peer review, some journals publish the complete, signed reviewer reports alongside the article itself, so everyone can see how reviewers evaluated the article, and how it evolved during revisions. Other journals, including Nature Communications, can publish the complete reviewer reports (with the authors' permission), with attribution (with the reviewers' permission).
