Nature Publishing have an interesting approach to reviewers. If all the
reviewers AND authors of any given article agree (assuming its published), then
the no-longer anonymous reviews can be included alongside the article itself,
with name attribution at least to the reviewers. As per everything else, the
reviewers would not be paid for such exposure. I have yet to establish who
could successfully claim copyright for these reviews. One might think the
reviewers, but things are never that simple.
BUT: A colleague reports he was invited to write an "commentary" (rather than a
review) to go alongside an article. After writing and submitting it, he was
hit with a full APC for his invited commentary.
I also note that if a review is considered particularly substantive, it might
instead be directed towards eg
https://www.nature.com/ncomms/submit/matters-arisingThis information
clearly states "Matters Arising and their Replies are not subject to article
processing charges". But it might be tempting to conclude that some other
publishers might be tempted to use open reviews as yet another income stream?
