Open peer review?

Summary:
"Peer review continues to be a dilemma for editors and authors. The more open the process, the greater the transparency and greater dissemination of knowledge, because the exchange of communication between author, reviewer, and editor will allow a greater understanding of the knowledge generated.
One of the criticisms of the system is possible harassment, bullying (intimidation) and boycott (exclusion) for the disclosure of names, however, even anonymous evaluation is not a guarantee of protection.
On the contrary, open peer review enables a greater network with the interaction between the reviewer and the academy, in addition to attributing the proper credit for authorship to the reviewer while creating a bank of reviews that can serve as guidance to other reviewers, especially beginners."
