Open peer review
QRB Discovery operates open peer review for full transparency about decision-making and in order to mitigate issues that contribute to editorial bias, and to enable reviewers to collect their contributions as part of their academic record. Reviewers are named and they are asked for agreement when posting their comments on the field box on Editorial Manager. Accepted manuscripts will be published with their signed review reports; these reports will be assigned an individual DOI.
Open peer review does not mean that reviewers should contact authors directly, or that authors should contact reviewers. All queries should be directed through the editorial assistant Lynet Smith ([email protected]).
