OSCE Meetup: Should you sign your reviews?

Peer review is one method of quality control in scientific publishing. A topic of discussion in the open science community is open peer review, where the peer review reports are shared alongside the published article. As a reviewer, you often have the possibility of signing your review, to disclose your identity to the authors. In this meeting, together with Daniel Lakens, we will share experiences with signed vs anonymous reviews, discuss positive and negative consequences of signing reviews, with the goal to allow researchers to make an informed discussion about whether or not, or when and when not, to sign open peer reviews.
