Open review has clear advantages, but also comes with new challenges and discomforts. I’d like to get a better feel for these. When is it acceptable to publish a critical open review?
-
-
During a compsci conference submission for example, their system deems the existence of a preprint irrelevant. The article is still blinded and sent through the standardised system for review.
-
In neuro it's journals not conferences, and in this case a closed journal, which doesn't have an explicit procedure like this to tell one what to do if there is a preprint, I guess... For sure, it wasn't designed to deal with what Niko did at all.
-
So it stands to reason more consent (and community-wide dialogue) should have been sought before, as others have said, the well became poisoned. I wonder what others who Niko blogged about feel...
-
Another question that springs to mind is if one is radically opposed to closed journals what should they do? Accepting to review for closed journals is a complex issue if you disagree with their system. And, as seen here, mixing and matching causes harm to ECRs and generally.
