Take a Peer at the Results

Results from over 3,000 respondents show open peer review is moving mainstream!

Open peer review (OPR) is a cornerstone of the emergent Open Science agenda. Yet to date no large-scale survey of attitudes towards OPR. OpenAIRE is hence proud to release the results of its survey conducted in Autumn 2016, which gauged the views of over 3,062 editors, authors and reviewers. The results show that OPR is moving mainstream, with respondents reporting high levels of enthusiasm and experience.
