Comment The one exception being BBS (Score 1) 223

The one exception being the Journal of Brain and Behavioral Sciences, at BBS, which follows a model of open review commentary and publishes reviews, the author's answer to the review and third-party peer commentaries alongside the original paper. The journal goes as far as to publish papers which question the peer review system such as the famous D.P. Peters and S. J. Ceci 1982 paper titled "Peer-review practices of psychological journals: the fate of published articles, submitted again." The paper shows how resubmitting papers that had already been published, under false names and institutions, resulted in almost all cases in the paper being rejected. The explanation being, that the academic status of the author and host institution greatly affects the reviewers bias. That BBS published such a paper (an many other similar ones having been published there and elsewhere) is at least a glimpse of hope.
