Open Peer Review Experiment at Nature

The prestigious science journal Nature has announced a 3-month trial for a new form of peer review. Authors will have the choice of posting their article submissions on a preprint server for open comments by others in the field. The trial will not affect the traditional closed review process and it will not influence the likelihood of publication. At the same time, the journal has set up a forum for readers to discuss and debate issues on the topic of peer review.
