“…Sci (ISSN 2413-4155) is an MDPI international open-access journal that covers most areas of scientific research. It was established in March 2018 to bring transparency to the internal workings and mechanisms of the so-called black box of peer review associated with single-and double blind models [1]. In March 2019, Sci adopted the post-publication public peer review (P4R) model [2].…”

Sci (ISSN 2413-4155) is an international, open-access journal that covers most fields of scientific research. It has set out to challenge the conventional single- and double-blind peer review processes by adopting a post-publication public peer review (P4R) model. The model faced some difficulties with indexing and archiving services, prolongated the peer review process and its transparency received some opposition. It was therefore necessary to revisit the P4R model and modify it, resulting in the hybrid model (P4R hybrid) which is implemented in Sci today. Sci remains open to the whole scientific community as an inclusive and multidisciplinary scientific journal. In this context, we present you with six valuable contributions to the first Special Issue of Feature Papers Editors Collection 2020. The topics of the contributions address relevant and compelling issues ranging from data protection, material science, COVID-19 to the environment and climate change.

“…This approach towards publishing has been implemented in the MDPI journal Sci (ISSN 2413-4155), as illustrated in Figure 1. MDPI launched Sci, an open access journal which covers most fields of scientific research in March 2018 to provide transparency on the traditionally secret process of peer review, and subsequently adapted most aspects of the post-publication public peer review (P4R) strategy discussed here [58,59]. The P4R system in place from March 2019 until November 2020 promised authors immediate visibility of their manuscripts on the journal's online platform after a brief and limited check of scientific soundness and proper reporting and against plagiarism and offensive material, as discussed already.…”

Scientists observe, discover, justify and eventually share their findings with the scientific community. Dissemination is an integral aspect of scientific discovery, since discoveries which go unnoticed have no or little impact on science. Today, peer review is part of this process of scientific dissemination as it contributes proactively to the quality of a scientific article. As the numbers of scientific journals and scientific articles published therein are increasing steadily, processes such as the single-blind or double-blind peer review are facing a near collapse situation. In fact, these traditional forms of reviewing have reached their limits and, because of this, are also increasingly considered as unfair, sloppy, superficial and even biased. In this manuscript, we propose forms of post-publication public peer review (P4R) as valuable alternatives to the traditional blind peer review system. We describe how the journal Sci has explored such an approach and provide first empirical evidence of the benefits and also challenges, such a P4R approach faces.

“…Постпубликационное рецензирование может служить решением проблем, возникших в сфере рецензирования, так как с момента опубликования статья остается в зоне постоянного внимания специалистов, являясь предметом дискуссии читателей и практиков, которые в полной мере могут оценить качество публикуемой статьи, не препятствуя новым исследованиям и открытиям [45][46][47]. Более того, оно позволяет читателям видеть процесс работы над рукописью и дает им возможность отслеживать, какие изменения были внесены на основе рецензий [48].…”

The fundamental importance of the peer review in the context of scientific communication determines the unprecedented attention paid to it by researchers around the world. New trends in scientific communication are reflected in the transformation of the forms of peer review and the roles of its stakeholders. Within the framework of this article, the challenges faced by a modern reviewer are analyzed, the transforming models of peer review are presented, and the most significant issues generated by the logic of the development of the peer review process are outlined.
