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