Should Reviewers' Names Be Published with the Papers They Review?
blog.ptidej.netThe peer-review process is the heartbeat of academic publishing. It is how researchers ensure that knowledge moves forward through scrutiny, feedback, and validation. Authors submit their manuscripts to journals or conferences, and editors send them to other experts who assess the work's originality, rigour, and relevance.
In this blog, I try to dissect the question: Should the names of reviewers be made public alongside the papers they review?
I think it would be a good experiment to try publishing names of reviewers. j
As a grad student, I did a large number of reviews for IEEE journals and conferences. Simply publishing the number of reviews that one did could encourage busy grad students and other academics.
There is a policy in every conference and journal to add the conflict of interest so I don't think that reviewer name should be added. This make this things more biased and reviewer can not review the entire study with confidence.
