Acceptance of open peer review by scientific publishers

The paper consists of two parts. The first part describes the importance and problems of the current peer review process and characteristics of open peer review. The second part provides results of the research study of the 100 top scientific publishers about their acceptance and possible implementation of the open peer review. Public documents about open peer review were sought on publishers’ Web sites and the research showed that there are very few of them available. The research confirmed that open peer review is still not widely accepted even at the major publishing houses.
