I would agree double-blinded. However, as an editor, manuscripts that I review are done single blindedly. Once as a reviewer, I received a manuscript to review from someone in my same facility. It as a bit akward and I discussed it to the editor.
I would prefer an open review process. I understand that blind reviews are intended to protect the reviewer If one disagrees with the comments. However, i think it would be more helpful If one could openly discuss instead of waiting months to get a reply by the reviewer.
Double blind may sound good in theory. However, most of the time it is easy to determine who are the authors if one checks the references of the article.
Also, some reviewers may propose to reference/cite their own articles.
As a journal editor, I think each one has its own pros and cons. A key point is how to find good, if not best, potential reviewers and then have them review the manuscript without declining.
I’d rather it was double-blind, and all names of reviewers contributing over a year being acknowledged by the editor-in-chief, in a special published note.
I support open review process. We scientists are supposed to be receptive to constructive critics. After all the purpose of the review is to improve and alert authors to any unnoticed errors or deficiencies. And finally , the ultimate goal is to end up with a quality publication.
I still support the open review process such as the reviewers names can only be disclosed upon publication of the manuscript, otherwise their names should not be disclosed.
