The peer-review process is the heartbeat of academic publishing. It is how researchers ensure that knowledge moves forward through scrutiny, feedback, and validation. Authors submit their manuscripts to journals or conferences, and editors send them to other experts who assess the work's originality, rigour, and relevance.

In this blog, I try to dissect the question: Should the names of reviewers be made public alongside the papers they review?

I think it would be a good experiment to try publishing names of reviewers. j

As a grad student, I did a large number of reviews for IEEE journals and conferences. Simply publishing the number of reviews that one did could encourage busy grad students and other academics.
