"Nature" < http://www.nature.com > is undertaking open peer review
trial. In this trial, authors whose submissions to Nature are sent for
peer review will also be offered the opportunity to participate in an
open peer review process <

In Nature's peer review trial, lasting for three months, authors can
choose to have their submissions posted on a preprint server for open
comments, in parallel with the conventional peer review process.

It has also initiated a web debate for perspectives about peer review
from those who believe it is working well and also those who prefer
other options.
