Abstract

Reviewers have a central role in keeping up quality standards and in establishing implicit and explicit norms of academia.
Doing this unpaid voluntary work is vital part of academic functioning (including the much-trumpeted self-correction in science) and can be a powerful lever for improving credibility of published research. I will give a short overview of recent developments, including:

• the „Peer Reviewer’s Openness (PRO) initiative“
• the pros and cons of open peer review
• New publishing communities that organize open peer review without commercial publishers
• personal reviewing standards and pledges.

There will be plenty of room for discussion; for example on the specific challenges for early career researchers might face.

Target audience: researchers from all empirical fields, all career stages.

Organisers: Open Science Initiative in Psychology and LMU Open Science Center
