The Henderson Repository now features open peer review!

What is open peer review?

In one word, transparency. Submissions to collections under the Independent Submissions community will continue to be peer viewed; in our new, open peer review environment, comments made by the reviewers as well as any author rebuttals will be visible to everyone.

What are the benefits of open peer review?
