Conclusion

Two years on from starting to offer more transparency in peer review we are delighted that author uptake remains high. Overall, we are not seeing any detrimental effects on editorial turnaround times for journals that have introduced transparency. However, there is slightly more editorial effort involved in that editors have to invite more reviewers in order to secure a sufficient number to peer review an article. This additional effort is not insurmountable,  however,  for the benefits that increased transparency can bring in terms of trust in the peer review process, accountability and recognition for the work done.
