 the critique of their work private, and reviewers kept their identities protected and anonymous.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 more collaborative, voluntary approach in reviewing scientific scholarship.  This step is viewed as being the cornerstone to opening the lines of communication between the author and reviewer, and helps serve as a means to eliminate bias, publish work more
 quickly, and recognize and elevate reviewer contribution and expertise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
