Many researchers prefer double-blind review because they believe it will give their paper a fairer chance than a single-blind review. It can avoid the risk of a paper suffering from the unintended bias of reviewers who know the seniority, gender, or nationality of the author. However, even if you have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com\/peer-review\/anonymous-peer-review\">anonymized your paper,\u00a0<\/a>the reviewers may not be able to avoid discerning your identity, especially if you work in a very specialized field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><b><i>Open review<\/i><\/b><i>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/i>the reviewers know who the author is and the author knows who are the reviewers. Open review may also include publishing the names of the reviewers and even the reviewers\u2019 reports alongside the article. Some open review journals also publish earlier versions of your article, enabling the reader to see what revisions were made as a result of peer review. The advantages for authors of open peer review is that you might receive more constructive and polite reviewer comments, if the referees know that a signed version of their report is going to be published. H<\/span><span>owever, t<\/span><span>here are concerns that researchers who are invited to review may be less inclined to do so under an open model, where their name and report will be published (Taylor &amp; Francis, 2020).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><strong><i>Responding to peer review<\/i><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>In our response to peer review, we need to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span>Read comments objectively and be sure to understand what is being said<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Reflect on each comment and reconcile them to your manuscript\u2019s purpose and intent<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Ensure the manuscript communicates information clearly to the reader<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Rewrite with clarity and logical progression\/ presentation of information<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Update bibliography as needed (more recent research or articles may have been published since submission)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>For more information on the peer review process, please review the following resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span>\u00a0<strong><i>Articles<\/i><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnins.2015.00169\/full\">Walker, R. and da Silva, P.R.
