There are several ways to find research articles that have undergone transparent peer review, where reviewer reports, author responses, and editorial decisions are made publicly available. Here are some key approaches:

  • Journals with Transparent Peer Review Policies

Many journals explicitly follow transparent peer review models. Publishers like PLOS (Public Library of Science), eLife, PeerJ, and some Springer Nature and Wiley journals offer open peer review options.

  • Databases & Repositories
  • Publons (by Web of Science) – Some journals share peer review histories here.
  • Europe PMC & PubMed Central – Some articles have linked peer review reports.
  • Scholar9 – A platform that helps researchers find and manage peer-reviewed research effectively.
  • Preprint Servers with Open Peer Review
  • bioRxiv & medRxiv – Some papers include public peer review comments.
  • arXiv & ResearchGate – While not formal peer review, researchers sometimes share reviews here.
  • Open Journal Systems (OJS) & Hosting Solutions
  • OJSCloud – Many journals hosted on OJSCloud provide transparent peer review options, making it easier to find such articles.
  • Checking Journal Policies
  • Look for journals with "Open Peer Review", "Transparent Peer Review", or "Published Peer Reports" labels on their websites.
