I recently made the decision to start signing my peer reviews. I believe transparency in the review process is important, and attaching my name makes me more accountable for my feedback. At the same time, I recognize that anonymity allows for more candid criticism without fear of potential consequences.

Some argue that signing reviews improves the quality of feedback and fosters a more constructive academic culture. Others believe it can lead to bias, conflicts, or even professional repercussions.

I'm curious: what’s your take? Do you sign your reviews, or do you prefer to stay anonymous? Is transparency worth the risk, or is anonymity essential for honest critique? Open to all perspectives! 🚀🔬👇
