Since we are witnessing in the last years the reviewing process becoming more complicated and slower than before I thought about calling for transparency in reviewing to avoid famous 'reviewer number 2' behaviour. It would be interesting to explore this possibility to try at least to make publication process being more sustainable and efficient.
It depends to the journal. Journals should have younger and more motivated reviewers and editors.
What exactly you mean by ( reviewr number 2 behaviour) i didnt get it
Doaa, I meant the one who is always splitting hairs or asking you to change your work close to the unrecognizable levels. There is also a FB group of younger researchers panicking about the comments from 'reviewer No2' as a kind of reaction to close to impossible attempts to publish. So, the other side of a 'publish or perish' story. Sorry I was a little bit off the tone, but I am emotional about inability to be more visible through regular publishing system. Luckily, open access and online platforms exist!
Do you need help for publishing your articles?! Is not that much hard
Thank you for your offer. In my experience the reviewing last for six to nine months, then they ask the revision, then another revision, and sometimes you just found out that they did not even read your rebuttal letter. At the moment we have a publication which we are trying to publish from 2015, it was on 11 different peer-reviewed journals, but since it is a combination of physiological complexity/nonlinear analysis of electrophysiology data, physiology, psychiatry and machine learning it is always something which is very hard to find a reviewer...When you say it is not that much hard I do not know where you usually publish. We choose journals according to the tematic and scope...please elaborate

...I forgot to add that we do not have any money left on our project to pay for publication, so only the journals which are free of charge are of interest.
I already started posting everything as a preprint, because otherwise it will become obsolete. the only thing is that it is a pity that such a hard work and a good idea for research stays below the radar of other researchers and those who might use it.
Your major is quite far from me but have you ever tried this journal?

I dont know if there is a difference
Dear Sarfaraz,
Thank you for providing me with a link.
I will explore that possibility.
Kind regards,
Milena
