Dear Claire and other members of OASPA, COPE, DOAJ & WAME Paper is patient. Journal will explain that they do peer review, double blind, whatever you wish. But I think you should award journals for their degree in transparency for the peer review process. http://wowter.net/2013/12/24/towards-five-stars-transparent-pre-publication-peer-review/
Yours sincerely Wouter Gerritsma From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Claire Redhead Sent: donderdag 19 december 2013 16:41 To: [email protected] Subject: [GOAL] Joint Statement on Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing The Committee on Publication Ethics<http://publicationethics.org/>, the Directory of Open Access Journals<http://www.doaj.org/>, the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association<http://oaspa.org/>, and the World Association of Medical Editors<http://www.wame.org/> are scholarly organizations that have seen an increase in the number of membership applications from both legitimate and non-legitimate publishers and journals. Our organizations have collaborated in an effort to identify principles of transparency and best practice that set apart legitimate journals and publishers from non-legitimate ones and to clarify that these principles form part of the criteria on which membership applications will be evaluated. This is a work in progress and we welcome feedback on the general principles and the specific criteria. Please see the full statement<http://oaspa.org/principles-of-transparency-and-best-practice-in-scholarly-publishing/> on the OASPA blog (http://oaspa.org/blog/).
