Not good.

More strange than anything.

Obviously they forgot. But it would have been nice if they hadn't I guess.

Did your signature actually appear at bottom of review? Some editors remove names...

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think it is a bad idea to start acknowledging reviewers by name, even if they sign review. Given that reviewer has power to make or break an article, do we want them to start angling for acknowledgement?
-
Not saying you were angling for acknowledgement, obviously, but if this becomes a widespread practice, it will happen.
-
But I wasn't anonymous, right? Would have been happier of described as just reviewer, maybe? Not sure. Seems strange though TBH.
-
*if described What do you think is bad about putting reviewer names in the article, though?
-
A reviewer has the power to accept or reject your paper, so could use that power to "encourage" you to accept their suggestion and acknowledge it.
-
Oh, right. I see. Hm.
-
I mean, if reviewers will hold up your manuscript until you add multiple citations to their papers, why wouldn't they do this?
-
They do this already. At least in my field.

I've had editors editing my signed reviews to make them anonymous (which I discovered only when CCd on the decision letter) — could that have happened or have the authors been sloppy here? Clearly people need to get used to signed reviews
-
Oh, dear!
-
I'll see if I can check. It's published now.

Thought of this thread when writing a
@CollabraOA decision letter today, so included this note: "We have open reviews, so if you feel that some of the reviewers' suggestions warrant an acknowledgement, you can mention them by name rather than crediting 'an anonymous reviewer'."

They may not know whether you want to be acknowledged as reviewer publicly
-
I said yes to that.

Adding "(signed review)" after your name could help.
-
I'll do that next time!
