Nobody will be treated worse in open peer review, quite the opposite. Ask editors. Problem is, if there is one, with more leniency.
-
I am an editor; there is much evidence of biases in the review process which are alleviated by blind review. also aware of my own biases.
-
wow, you tweet's popularity and me being its only critic suggests there is nothing wrong with traditional editorial practices. Glad to hear!
-
I'm not sure anybody has proposed current editorial practises are OK. In fact, quite the opposite. We are pointing out it's biased often.
-
It's a more subtle point we are making: any changes need to be borne out of a serious evaluation of the systemic issues.

Blinded review is not the same as closed review. In fact blinding, which can be lifted after reviewing is done, might have a place in OS.

Open science is about more meaning than just making everything transparent all the time, but also making everything more accessible.
-
And by accessible that means eliminating sources of bias against minorities and ERCs. I hope we can agree on some of these ideals.
