A suggestion on "transparent review".

I got a ms to review from a journal that does "transparent review", which I don't generally support (for reasons made clear below). After thinking about it, I think we can find a good compromise between the people who want transparent review and the people who want to be able to communicate things that are embarrassing or are difficult or inappropriate to share publicly.

What if peer review contained three things? (1) peer review comments that are OK for authors to share, (2) peer review comments that are private to authors, and (3) peer review comments that are private to editors?

(1 [public]) would contain a discussion of the issues, controls, and concerns the public needed to know in appreciating the paper

(2 [private to authors]) could contain things that the authors would find embarrassing if included (like stupid mistakes), as well as things that didn't change the meaning of the paper, but made it hard to read (like bad figure design or egregious abbreviations). (2) could also contain suggestions for how to redo the whole analysis project if that were necessary (as happened in a recent review I did).

(3 [private to editors]) would be reserved for expressing depth of concern (is it minor or major) and expressions of concern about fraud or other such problems.

If someone misused these three components, the editors could ask them to move them around to fit the structure.

Just a modest proposal, since a lot of journals are now just adding the reviews to the end of the paper, which many people (like me!) don't support.

Mark your agendas and save the date: Our annual symposium will be on 19 January 2026 in Leiden!

We are looking forward to our third symposium. Following successful days in Amsterdam and Groningen, we will meet in Leiden for a day filled with presentations, workshops and networking opportunities.

Next week (from 24 February onwards) the QUEST Center for Responsible Research at the Berlin Institute of Health is offering a series of online webinars on reproducible research methods, #preregistration, lab protocols and publishing of methods and primer papers.
