SciPost's Peer Review Method: Peer-Witnessed Refereeing.
Reporting
- Reports are gathered from editorially-invited referees, but can also be volunteered by registered SciPost Contributors during refereeing rounds.
- Reports are posted online (after rapid editorial vetting) on the Submission's Page, and can be replied to (Authors only) or commented on by all Contributors.
- Anonymity can be preserved at all meaningful stages if desired (you can e.g. elect to remain anonymous on a given Report, but named on another).
Contributors thus have additional incentives to actively participate and provide not only high-quality Submissions, but also Reports and Comments of the highest achievable professional caliber.
Abusive behaviour is prevented by Editorial vetting of all Reports, Replies and Comments before public posting.
