Teaching in Higher Education, 20(8), 857-863. dx.doi.org/10.1080/13562517.2015.1085857 “This article argues that the pedagogical and scholarly benefits of open peer review far outweigh those of traditional double-blind peer review, but require a shift in our perspective of the function and value of peer review – from a gate-keeping process, toward a supportive, constructive process of collaboration between peers and mentors.”
